Edgar Assing

Dr. Edgar Assing is a professor at the University of Bonn's Department of Mathematics, specializing in analytic number theory, automorphic forms, and representation theory. His research bridges these fields with applications to L-functions and harmonic analysis.

Education & Academic Background:

• PhD from the University of Bristol (focused on the sup-norm problem for GL(2))
• Habilitation thesis at the University of Bonn on 'On automorphic density results in higher rank'

Research Interests:

• Sup-norm bounds for automorphic forms
• Automorphic density hypotheses (e.g., Sarnak's conjecture)
• Voronoi summation techniques and trace formula applications
• Interactions between analytic number theory and representation theory

Teaching & Mentorship:

• Lead advanced courses at Bonn on topics like modular forms, algebraic number theory, and the circle method
• Supervised 10+ Master's and Bachelor's theses since 2022, covering topics like class field towers and modular forms

Professional Activities:

• Organized conferences like the 'Young Scholars in Analytic Number Theory' (2022) and 'Special Topic School on Equidistribution' (2025)
• Active in international collaborations (e.g., with V. Blomer, Paul D. Nelson)
