معرفی
Damián Gvirtz-Chen is a Lecturer in Pure Mathematics at the University of Glasgow, specializing in algebraic geometry and number theory. His research focuses on rational points on algebraic varieties, including studies of K3 surfaces, Brauer-Manin obstructions, and the Hilbert property. He holds a PhD from Imperial College London (2019) and has held postdoctoral positions at University College London (2020-2022) and Leibniz University Hannover (2019-2020). His work is supported by an EPSRC New Investigator Award.
Research Interests:
- Rational points on algebraic varieties
- K3 surfaces and elliptic fibrations
- Hilbert property and density questions
- Brauer groups and obstructions
- p-adic geometry and arithmetic geometry
Publications reflect a focus on cutting-edge topics such as Hilbert irreducibility theorems for Enriques surfaces (2023), cohomology of diagonal surfaces (2022), and quantitative arithmetic of K3 surfaces (2021). He actively organizes conferences like Rational Points in Glasgow (2024) and teaches advanced undergraduate courses.
Grants & Awards: Current EPSRC funding supports his research on rational points. No named prizes are listed, but his contributions to arithmetic geometry are recognized through collaborative projects and invited talks at leading institutions worldwide.
Academic Service: Co-founded the London Junior Number Theory Seminar and organized study groups on the Bloch-Kato conjecture. Engages in outreach via gifted education programs and mentors early-career mathematicians.
