Boris Zilber

Boris Zilber is a Research Fellow at the Mathematical Institute, University of Oxford, within the Department of Mathematical Logic. His research interests include Model Theory and its applications to Geometry and Number Theory. He has contributed to various areas such as the model theory of special subvarieties, exponential sums, and quantum Zariski geometries. Zilber has authored several publications in prestigious journals, including the Bulletin of the London Mathematical Society and the Annals of Pure and Applied Logic. His work has been recognized with awards such as the Senior Berwick Prize (LMS) in 2004 and the Polya Prize (LMS) in 2015.

Boris Zilber is an Emeritus Professor at the University of Oxford, known for his significant contributions to model theory and its intersections with algebraic geometry. His research focuses on the model theory of algebraically closed fields, uncountably categorical theories, and the structure of models of such theories. Zilber's work includes the study of Zariski geometries, pseudo-exponentiation, and exponential sums equations, often in relation to the Schanuel conjecture. His publications explore the categoricity of theories, the properties of strongly minimal theories, and the model-theoretic analysis of algebraic groups. His research has advanced the understanding of the interplay between algebraic geometry and logic, particularly in the context of algebraically closed fields and their extensions.
