Solomon Friedberg

Solomon Friedberg is the James P. McIntyre Professor of Mathematics at Boston College, holding an endowed chair in the Department of Mathematics within the Morrissey College of Arts and Sciences. His research explores automorphic forms, number theory, and representation theory, with applications to L-functions and combinatorial mathematics.

Education includes a B.A. from UC San Diego, M.S. and Ph.D. from University of Chicago.

Research focuses on multiple Dirichlet series, metaplectic Eisenstein series, and theta functions on covering groups. His work bridges analytic number theory with representation theory and has implications for mathematical physics. Recent publications emphasize doubling constructions, Shimura lifts, and mathematics education policy.
