Yuval Zvi Flicker ({{langx|he|יוּבַל צְבִי פְלִיקֶר}}; born 1955 in Israel) is an American mathematician. His primary research interests include automorphic representations.{{cite web|url=https://people.math.osu.edu/flicker.1/cvdos.pdf|title=Yuval Flicker OSU CV}}
He received his PhD degree from the University of Cambridge in 1978. His thesis advisor was Alan Baker, in the area of transcendental number theory.{{mathgenealogy|name=Yuval Zvi Flicker|id=14978}}.
He taught at Princeton University, Columbia University, Harvard University and Ohio State University, where he now has the title of Faculty Emeritus.{{cite web |title=Yuval Flicker |website=Ohio State University |url=https://math.osu.edu/people/flicker.1 |accessdate=22 October 2021}} He also worked with David Kazhdan{{cite web|url=https://eudml.org/doc/104017|title=Metaplectic correspondence|publisher=Publications Mathématiques de l'IHÉS}} and Pierre Deligne.{{cite web|url=http://annals.math.princeton.edu/2013/178-3/p03|title=Counting local systems with principal unipotent local monodromy|publisher=Annals of Mathematics}}
Education
Born 1955 in Kfar-Saba, raised in Ramat-Gan, Flicker studied Mathematics and Philosophy at Tel-Aviv University gaining a BA in 1973, then he studied Mathematics at the Hebrew University gaining an MA in 1974. After that he studied Part III of the Mathematical Tripos at DPMMS, Cambridge University in 1974-75, where he was awarded his PhD under the supervision of Fields Medalist Alan Baker in 1978. His dissertation was "Linear forms on Abelian Varieties over Local Fields". He was a Post Doctoral scholar at the Institute for Advanced Study Princeton 1978-79, at Columbia University 1979-81, at Princeton University 1981-85, and at Harvard University 1985-87. He worked as a member of the Mathematics Department at the Ohio State University from 1987 to 2015.
Research
Flicker's research interests include Automorphic and Admissible Representations, Automorphic forms over function fields, Arithmetic Geometry, Lifting of Representations, Hecke-Iwahori algebras, p-adic automorphic forms, Galois Cohomology, Local-Global Principles, Motives, Algebraic Groups, Covering Groups, Shimura Varieties. He coauthored works with David Kazhdan, Pierre Deligne, his students{{cite web|url=http://www.ams.org/distribution/mmj/vol4-2-2004/flicker-zinoviev.pdf|title=Twister Character of a Small Representations of PGL(4)|publisher=Moscow Mathematical Journal}} and other scholars.{{cite web|url=http://www.ams.org/journals/jams/1998-11-03/S0894-0347-98-00271-9/S0894-0347-98-00271-9.pdf|title=Grothendieck's Theorem on Non-Abelian H2 and Local-Global Principles|publisher=Journal of the American Mathematical Society}} He acknowledges influence of Joseph Bernstein{{cite web|url=http://www.ams.org/books/pspum/058.2/|title=K-Theory and Algebraic Geometry: Connections with Quadratic Forms and Division Algebras, Part 2|publisher=Proceedings of Symposia in Pure Mathematics}} and of Vladimir Drinfeld.{{cite web|url=http://www.math.uiuc.edu/documenta/vol-19/01.pdf|title=Eisenstein Series and the Trace Formula for GL(2) over a Function Field|publisher=Documenta Mathematica}} He is the author of several books.
