معرفی
Asher Auel is an Associate Professor in the Department of Mathematics at Dartmouth College. He holds a Ph.D. in Mathematics from the University of Pennsylvania (2009) and a DEA in Pure Mathematics from Université Paris-Sud (2004). His research focuses on arithmetic geometry, quadratic forms, K-theory, and algebraic geometry, with significant contributions to the study of Brauer groups, rationality problems, and moduli spaces. Auel has held appointments at Yale University, Emory University, and the Max Planck Institute for Mathematics. He is an active member of the academic community, organizing conferences like BATMOBYLE and serving on editorial boards. His work has been supported by grants from the NSF, Simons Foundation, and others.
Education
- Ph.D. Mathematics, University of Pennsylvania (2009)
- DEA Mathématiques Pures, Université Paris-Sud (2004)
- A.B. Mathematics, Reed College (2003)
Research Interests
Auel explores the interplay between algebraic structures and geometric objects, particularly in arithmetic contexts. His work addresses questions about quadratic forms over various fields, the rationality of algebraic varieties, and the role of Brauer groups in obstructions to geometric properties. Recent projects include studies on cubic fourfolds, Brill-Noether loci, and local-global principles in number theory.
