Biography

Stephen Lichtenbaum is the Roland George Dwight Richardson University Professor Emeritus in Mathematics at Brown University. He has made significant contributions to fields such as algebraic geometry, algebraic number theory, and algebraic K-Theory. His research focuses on special values of zeta L-functions, aiming to create cohomological descriptions of these functions as they relate to varieties over number fields, including the Riemann zeta-function. Lichtenbaum has had a long-standing involvement in funded research, having been supported by the National Science Foundation from 1964 to the present, with a current grant investigating Weil-etale Cohomology of Arithmetic Schemes. Over the years, he has led various projects, including those on motives and motivic cohomology, securing substantial funding for his endeavors.
