From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Joseph Bernstein (sometimes spelled I. N. Bernshtein or Iosif Naumovič Bernštejn, Hebrew: יוס(י)ף נאומוביץ ברנשטיין‎, Russian: Иосиф Наумович Бернштейн) (born April 18, 1945 in Moscow) is an Israeli mathematician working at Tel Aviv University. He works in algebraic geometry, representation theory, and number theory, and he is known for his close relationships with students.

He received his PhD in 1972 under Israil Gelfand at Moscow State University and was elected to the National Academy of Sciences in 2004. He was awarded the Israel Prize in mathematics in 2004. Some of his students include Edward Frenkel, Roman Bezrukavnikov, Alexander Braverman, and Dennis Gaitsgory, all of whom work on the geometric Langlands program. Other students are: Eitan Sayag[1], Kobi Kremnizer[2], Shamgar Gurevich[3], Ronny Hadani[4], Dmitry Gourevitch[5] and Avraham Aizenbud[6] all of them contribute to representation theory, algebraic geometry and their applications.
