Montserrat Teixidor i Bigas (born February 25, 1958) is a Spanish-American academic who is a professor of mathematics at Tufts University in Medford, Massachusetts.
[1] She specializes in algebraic geometry, especially Moduli of Vector Bundles on curves.
She earned a bachelor's degree and PhD from the University of Barcelona, where she wrote her dissertation, "Geometry of linear systems on algebraic curves", under the supervision of Gerard Eryk Welters.
[3][4] She worked in the department of pure mathematics at the University of Liverpool, where she wrote "The divisor of curves with a vanishing theta-null",[5] for Compositio Mathematica in 1988.
In 1997, she proved Lange's conjecture for the generic curve, with Barbara Russo, which states that "If
[7] She was also a co-organizer of the Clay Institute's workgroup on Vector Bundles on Curves.
[8] In 2004, she spent a year at Radcliffe College as a Vera M. Schuyler Fellow, devoting her time to study of "the interplay between the geometry of curves and the equations defining them.
