Michael Rapoport (born 2 October 1948)[1] is an Austrian mathematician.

Career[]

Rapoport received his Ph.D. from Paris-Sud 11 University in 1976, under the supervision of Pierre Deligne.[2] He currently holds a chair for arithmetic algebraic geometry at the University of Bonn,[3] as well as a visiting appointment at the University of Maryland. In 1992 he was awarded the Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz Prize,[4] in 1999 he won the Gay-Lussac–Humboldt Prize,[5] and he is the recipient of the 2011 Heinz Hopf Prize.[6] In 1994 he was an Invited Speaker (with talk Non-Archimedean period domains) at the ICM in Zurich.

Rapoport's students include Maria Heep-Altiner, Werner Baer, Peter Scholze, Eva Viehmann.[2]

Personal life[]

Michael Rapoport is the son of pediatrician Ingeborg Rapoport and biochemist Samuel Mitja Rapoport, and brother of biochemist Tom Rapoport.
