Anthony W. Knapp

Anthony William Knapp (born 2 December 1941, Morristown, New Jersey)[1] is an American mathematician and professor emeritus at the State University of New York, Stony Brook working in representation theory. For much of his career, Knapp was a professor at Cornell University.

Education

Knapp lived in Baltimore, Maryland,[2] and graduated from the preparatory McDonogh School nearby.[3] He attended Dartmouth College,[4] graduating from there in 1962 and receiving a National Science Foundation Graduate Fellowship to continue his studies.[2] Knapp received his Ph.D. in 1965 from Princeton University under the supervision of Salomon Bochner.[4]

Teaching

Knapp began his career as a C. L. E. Moore instructor for two years at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology,[4] before gaining a position as an assistant professor at Cornell University in 1967.[5] He was promoted to associate professor there in 1970 and full professor in 1975.[6] Knapp began spending some of his time at SUNY Stony Brook in 1986 and took a full-time position there in 1990.[4]

Research

In a series of papers from 1976 to 1984, Knapp and Gregg Zuckerman gave the classification of tempered representations of semisimple Lie groups.[7][8][9][10]

Awards and honors

He won the Leroy P. Steele Prize for Mathematical Exposition in 1997.[11] In 2012 he became a fellow of the American Mathematical Society.[12]
