Professor
Frank Calegari is a Professor of Mathematics at the University of Chicago. His primary research interests include algebraic number theory, the Langlands program, Galois representations, and arithmetic geometry. He has made significant contributions to understanding reciprocity laws linking Galois representations to automorphic forms. His work often intersects with cohomology of arithmetic groups, motives, and the arithmetic of periods. Prof. Calegari has advised numerous PhD students, including Maria Stadnik, Shiva Chidambaram, and Eric Stubley. He serves on editorial boards for prestigious journals such as Algebra & Number Theory, Essential Number Theory, and the Annals of Mathematics. He actively participates in academic conferences and programs, including organizing the 2020 Arithmetic of the Langlands Program in Bonn. His research spans modularity theorems for abelian varieties, cohomology of arithmetic groups, and the study of L-functions. Key recent work includes resolving the unbounded denominators conjecture and advancing potential automorphy results over CM fields. Calegari frequently collaborates with leading mathematicians, including George Boxer, Vincent Pilloni, and Yilin Yang. He teaches advanced courses such as Honors Calculus (Math 16100) at the University of Chicago. His expository work includes lecture notes on motives and L-functions, as well as a blog compiling mathematical insights (Persiflage). Calegari’s contributions to number theory have been recognized through his editorial roles and invited lectures at institutions like the ICM and Clay Mathematics Institute.
