Richard Taylor (mathematician)
From Free net encyclopedia
Richard Taylor (born 19 May 1962) is a British mathematician working in the field of number theory. A former research student of Andrew Wiles, he returned to Princeton to help his advisor complete the proof of Fermat's last theorem. One of the two papers containing the published proof is a joint work of Taylor and Wiles. In subsequent work, Taylor (along with Michael Harris) proved the local Langlands conjectures, and very recently, Taylor also proved the Sato-Tate conjecture under a mild technical hypothesis which will undoubtedly be removed.
He is one of the mathematicians who completed the proof of the Taniyama-Shimura conjecture. He received the Cole Prize of the American Mathematical Society in 2002.
He received his Ph.D. from Princeton University in 1988. From 1995 to 1996 he held the Savilian Chair of Geometry at Oxford University, and he is currently the Herchel Smith Professor of Mathematics at Harvard University.
