Chantal David (born 1964)[1] is a French Canadian mathematician who works as a professor of mathematics at Concordia University.
[2][3] David completed her doctorate in mathematics in 1993 at McGill University, under the supervision of Ram Murty.
[5] From January through May 2017, she co-organized a program on analytic number theory at the Mathematical Sciences Research Institute.
[7] She has shown that for several families of curves over finite fields, the zeroes of zeta functions are compatible with the Katz–Sarnak conjectures.
David and her collaborators have exhibited a new Cohen–Lenstra phenomenon for the group of points of elliptic curves over finite fields.
