Über den Autor Jean-Louis Colliot-Thélène
Jean-Louis Colliot-Thélène works in arithmetic algebraic geometry. He contributed to the study of rational points and of zero-cycles on rationally connected varieties. This involved the use of torsors and the Brauer-Manin obstruction. He applied results from algebraic K-theory (unramified cohomology) to rationality problems, also in complex algebraic geometry. He is the author of some 150 research papers, many written with various collaborators. Jean-Louis Colliot-Thélène received the Fermat prize and a Grand Prix de l'Académie des Sciences de Paris. Alexei Skorobogatov works in arithmetic algebraic geometry with focus on rational points on algebraic varieties, the Brauer group and the Brauer-Manin obstruction, K3 surfaces and abelian varieties. He is the author of the book Torsors and Rational Points and over 75 research papers. Alexei Skorobogatov is the recipient of a Whitehead prize of the London Mathematical Society.
