Pierre Colmez (born 1962) is a French mathematician and directeur de recherche at the CNRS (IMJ-PRG) known for his work in number theory and p-adic analysis.

Education

Colmez studied at École Normale Supérieure and obtained his doctorate from Grenoble University.

Research

He works on special values of L-functions and -adic representations of -adic groups at the meeting point of Fontaine's and Langlands' programs. His contributions include:

  • A proof of a -adic analog of Dirichlet's analytic class number formula.[1]
  • A conjecture: the Colmez conjecture relating Artin L-functions at and periods of abelian varieties with complex multiplication, a far-reaching generalization of the Chowla-Selberg formula.[2]
  • A proof of Perrin-Riou's conjectural explicit reciprocity law related to the functional equation of -adic L-functions.[3]
  • Several contributions to Fontaine's program of classification of -adic representations of the absolute Galois group of a finite extension of , including proofs of conjectures of Fontaine such as "weakly admissible implies admissible"[4] and the "-adic monodromy conjecture" which describe representations coming from geometry, or the overconvergence of all representations,[5][6] and the addition of new concepts such as "trianguline representations"[7] or "Banach-Colmez spaces".[8][9]
  • A construction of the -adic local Langlands correspondence for , via the construction of a functor (known as "Colmez's functor" or "Colmez's Montreal functor"[10]) from representation of to representations of the absolute Galois group of .[11]
  • Comparison theorems for -adic algebraic and analytic varieties with applications to a geometrization of the -adic local Langlands correspondence.[12][13][14]

With Jean-Pierre Serre, he co-edited the Correspondance Grothendieck-Serre (2001)[15][16] and the Correspondance Serre-Tate (2015).[17]

Awards and honors

Colmez won the 2005 Fermat Prize for his contributions to the study of L-functions and p-adic Galois representations.

In 1998, he was an invited speaker at the International Congress of Mathematicians in Berlin.[18]

Colmez has won the French Go championship four times.[19]

Personal life

Pierre Colmez and Leila Schneps are the parents of Coralie Colmez.[20][21] Violinist David Grimal is Colmez's first cousin.
