Jonathan Rosenberg (mathematician)

Jonathan Micah Rosenberg (born December 30, 1951, in Chicago, Illinois)[1] is an American mathematician, working in algebraic topology, operator algebras, K-theory and representation theory, with applications to string theory (especially dualities) in physics.

Rosenberg received his Ph.D. in 1976, under the supervision of Marc Rieffel, from the University of California, Berkeley (Group C*-algebras and square integrable representations).

Since 1981, he has been at the University of Maryland at College Park where he is the Ruth M. Davis Professor of Mathematics.

[3] He studies operator algebras and their relations with topology, geometry, with the unitary representation theory of Lie groups, K-theory and index theory.

Along with H. Blaine Lawson and Mikhail Leonidovich Gromov, he is known for the Gromov–Lawson–Rosenberg conjecture.
