Amnon Neeman
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Amnon Neeman (born 10 April 1957 in Jerusalem)[1] is an Australian mathematician working in algebraic K-theory, algebraic geometry, topology, and homological algebra. He is professor emeritus at the Australian National University in Canberra and was elected to the Australian Academy of Science in 2005.[2] According to the Academy's citation, his "results on the K-theory of triangulated categories were startlingly original, and completely changed the subject."[2]
In his 2001 research monograph on triangulated categories[3] he proved his version of Brown's representability theorem for triangulated categories, leading to a new proof of Serre–Grothendieck–Verdier duality, a fundamental result in algebraic geometry.
In the course of his investigations of triangular categories, Neeman constructed new examples of Abelian categories and found a counterexample to a result that had been published by Jan-Erik Roos in 1961.[4]
