David Harbater is a Professor of Mathematics at the University of Pennsylvania, specializing in algebra, number theory, geometric Galois theory, and local-global principles. His research focuses on Galois groups over curves, patching techniques, and arithmetic Galois groups. He has contributed significantly to problems in characteristic p, moduli of p-covers of curves, and local-global principles for torsors over arithmetic curves. His work explores connections between algebraic geometry and number theory, particularly through the study of fundamental groups and Galois cohomology. Harbater's research has advanced understanding of Abhyankar's conjecture and related problems in Galois theory.
