Pierre Colmez (born 1962) is a French mathematician and directeur de recherche at the CNRS (IMJ-PRG) known for his work in number theory and p-adic analysis.

Education

[edit | edit source]

Colmez studied at École Normale Supérieure and obtained his doctorate from the University of Grenoble.

Research

[edit | edit source]

He works on special values of L-functions and p-adic representations of p-adic groups at the meeting point of Fontaine's and Langlands' programs. His contributions include:

  • A proof of a p-adic analog of Dirichlet's analytic class number formula.[1]
  • A conjecture: the Colmez conjecture relating Artin L-functions at s=0 and periods of abelian varieties with complex multiplication, a far-reaching generalization of the Chowla-Selberg formula.[2]
  • A proof of Perrin-Riou's conjectural explicit reciprocity law related to the functional equation of p-adic L-functions.[3]
  • Several contributions to Fontaine's program of classification of p-adic representations of the absolute Galois group of a finite extension of p, including proofs of conjectures of Fontaine such as "weakly admissible implies admissible"[4] and the "p-adic monodromy conjecture" which describe representations coming from geometry, or the overconvergence of all representations,[5][6] and the addition of new concepts such as "trianguline representations"[7] or "Banach-Colmez spaces".[8][9]
  • A construction of the p-adic local Langlands correspondence for GL2(p), via the construction of a functor (known as "Colmez's functor" or "Colmez's Montreal functor"[10]) from representation of GL2(p) to representations of the absolute Galois group of p.[11]
  • Comparison theorems for p-adic algebraic and analytic varieties with applications to a geometrization of the p-adic local Langlands correspondence.[12][13][14]

With Jean-Pierre Serre, he co-edited the Correspondance Grothendieck-Serre (2001)[15][16] and the Correspondance Serre-Tate (2015).[17]

Awards and honors

[edit | edit source]

Colmez won the 2005 Fermat Prize for his contributions to the study of L-functions and p-adic Galois representations.

In 1998, he was an invited speaker at the International Congress of Mathematicians in Berlin.[18]

Colmez has won the French Go championship four times.[19]

Personal life

[edit | edit source]

Pierre Colmez and Leila Schneps are the parents of Coralie Colmez.[20][21] Violinist David Grimal is Colmez's first cousin.
