Samit Dasgupta

Samit Dasgupta is the James B. Duke Distinguished Professor of Mathematics at Duke University, Department of Mathematics. His research focuses on algebraic number theory, particularly the explicit construction of units in number fields and points on abelian varieties. His work addresses classical conjectures such as those of Stark, Birch-Swinnerton-Dyer, and Beilinson, and explores their generalizations. He has contributed to these conjectures and employs the theory of modular forms and Galois representations in his investigations. Dasgupta is also involved in several research grants and has published extensively in journals such as Advances in Mathematics and the Journal of the London Mathematical Society.

Samit Dasgupta is a Professor of Mathematics at Duke University, specializing in Number Theory. His research focuses on deep connections between algebraic number theory, modular forms, and L-functions. He has made significant contributions to the study of Stark conjectures, Gross-Stark units, and the Gross-Tate conjecture. His work explores the interplay between p-adic L-functions, Euler systems, and the arithmetic of modular Jacobians. Dasgupta's research also includes the study of Shintani zeta functions, integral Eisenstein cocycles, and the Brumer-Stark conjecture. His publications often address the arithmetic of totally real fields and the construction of elliptic units for real quadratic fields.
