Cornelius Greither

Cornelius Greither (born 1956)[1] is a German mathematician specialising in Iwasawa theory and the structure of Galois modules.[2]

Education and career

Greither completed his PhD in 1983 at the Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München under the supervision of Bodo Pareigis:[3] his thesis bears the title Zum Kürzungsproblem kommutativer Algebren.[4] He habilitated in 1988 at same university, with thesis title Cyclic Galois extensions and normal bases.[4]

In 1992, Greither proved the Iwasawa main conjecture for abelian number fields in the case.[5][6] In 1999, together with D. R. Rapogle, K. Rubin, and A. Srivastav, he proved a converse to the Hilbert–Speiser theorem.[7]

As of 2021, Greither is a full professor at the Universität der Bundeswehr München;[2] he is supposed to retire from this university by October 2022.[8]

Greither is on the editorial boards of the journals Archivum mathematicum Brno,[2][9] New York Journal of Mathematics,[2][10] as well as the Journal de Théorie des Nombres Bordeaux.[2][11] Until 2014, he was an associate editor of Annales mathématiques du Québec.[2][12]
