معرفی
Dr. Tobias Berger is a Senior Lecturer in Number Theory at the University of Sheffield's School of Mathematical and Physical Sciences. His research focuses on algebraic number theory, particularly the interplay between modular forms and Galois representations, with applications to special values of L-functions and the Langlands program. He has held positions at Queens' College, Cambridge, and the Max Planck Institute in Bonn. His work emphasizes automorphic forms over imaginary quadratic fields, a challenging area requiring novel techniques beyond standard algebraic geometry tools.
Education: Ph.D. in Mathematics (2005) from the University of Michigan, under Chris Skinner; Certificate of Advanced Study (2000) and BA/MA in Mathematics (1999) from Queens' College, Cambridge.
Research Interests: Cohomology of arithmetic groups, automorphic forms, Galois representations, Bloch-Kato conjecture, Paramodular conjecture. Notable contributions include studies on Eisenstein ideals, theta lifts, and deformations of Galois representations.
Grants: EPSRC grants for projects on paramodular conjecture and arithmetic applications of Kudla-Millson theta lifts. Organized conferences on Bianchi/Siegel modular forms and Galois representations (2014, 2016, 2019).
Labs/Teams: Active in the Sheffield Number Theory Group, collaborating with researchers like Kris Klosin, Lassina Dembélé, and Haluk Şengün. Key contributions include the Paramodular Conjecture research and workshops fostering interdisciplinary discussions in number theory.
