Peter Schneider (mathematician)

Peter Bernd Schneider (born 9 January 1953 in Karlsruhe) is a German mathematician, specializing in the p-adic aspects of algebraic number theory,[1] arithmetic algebraic geometry, and representation theory.

There he received in 1980 his PhD with advisor Jürgen Neukirch and dissertation Die Galoiscohomologie

In 1992 Schneider, together with Christopher Deninger, Michael Rapoport and Thomas Zink, received the Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz Prize for their work in using arithmetic-algebraic geometry to solve Diophantine equations.

In 2006 he was an invited speaker with talk Continuous representation theory of p-adic Lie groups at the International Congress of Mathematicians in Madrid.

In 2016 he was elected a member of the German National Academy of Sciences Leopoldina[4] and the Academia Europaea.
