Biography

Gebhard Böckle is Professor of Mathematics and head of the Arithmetic Geometry research group at Heidelberg University. Born in 1964 in Herrenberg, Germany, he completed his PhD at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. His research focuses on Galois representations over number and function fields, the arithmetic of automorphic forms over function fields, cohomology of arithmetic groups, and the p-adic Langlands program. He has supervised numerous PhD students and postdocs, making significant contributions to algebraic number theory and arithmetic geometry.

Research Interests

Galois representations over number and function fields, arithmetic of automorphic forms over function fields, cohomology of arithmetic groups, Drinfeld modular varieties, p-adic Langlands program, deformations of Galois representations, eigenvarieties over adic spaces
