Prof. Dr. Ulrich Görtz is a full-time faculty member at the University of Duisburg-Essen, leading the Research Group Görtz in the field of Arithmetic Geometry and Number Theory. His work bridges abstract algebraic geometry with number-theoretic structures, focusing on topics like Shimura varieties, Frobenius traces, and abelian varieties in positive characteristic. Research Areas: Arithmetic Geometry, Number Theory, Abelian Varieties, Positive Characteristic Geometry Organized Workshops: Oberwolfach workshops (2015, 2019) on reduction of Shimura varieties His research group includes current PhD students Giulio Marazza and Thiago Solovera e Nery, along with former members such as Francesc Fité, Xavier Guitart, and Martin Kreidl. He has collaborated with institutions like the Mathematisches Forschungsinstitut Oberwolfach and the Hausdorff Center in Bonn. The group's publications span p-adic geometry, moduli spaces, and vector bundle theory, with contributions to the understanding of Iwahori level structures, Sato-Tate groups, and Demazure resolutions. His work has appeared in journals like Ann. Inst. Fourier , Compos. Math. , and Math. Z. Prof. Görtz is actively involved in mentoring students and postdocs, with a team including secretary Julia Schulte-Kellinghaus and former collaborators like Ulrich Terstiege and Christian Kappen.
