Francis Brown is a Franco-British mathematician who works on arithmetic geometry and quantum field theory.
Career
Brown studied at the University of Cambridge and the École normale supérieure (Paris) and University of Bordeaux,{{cite web |url=https://www.asc.ox.ac.uk/person/professor-francis-brown |title=Professor Francis Brown |date=2023 |website=www.asc.ox.ac.uk |publisher=All Souls College |access-date=2023-05-27}} with Pierre Cartier, graduating in 2006 with a Ph.D.{{MathGenealogy | 215576 }} He then spent time at the Max Planck Institute for Mathematics and Mittag-Leffler Institute. In 2007 he moved to Institut de mathématiques de Jussieu – Paris Rive Gauche where he won a European Research Council starter grant in 2010. In 2012, he moved to the Institut des Hautes Études Scientifiques and was awarded a CNRS Bronze Medal and Élie Cartan Prize for his proof of two conjectures related to multiple zeta functions.{{cite web |url=https://www.cnrs.fr/en/node/656 |title=Francis Brown |website=www.cnrs.fr |date=September 2012 |publisher=Centre national de la recherche scientifique |access-date=2023-05-27}}{{cite web |url=https://www.academie-sciences.fr/archivage_site/activite/prix/laureat_cartan.pdf |title=Prix Élie Carton (Mathématique) |website=www.cnrs.fr |publisher=Académie des sciences |date=2012-10-03 |access-date=2023-05-27}} He had a Von Neumann Fellowship at the Institute for Advanced Study from 2014 to 2015 and is currently a senior research fellow at All Souls College, at the University of Oxford.
Brown's work is on the intersection of algebraic geometry and number theory. He has published on Tate Motives.{{cite journal |last1=Brown |first1=Francis |date=2012 |title=Mixed Tate motives over |url=https://www.jstor.org/stable/23234629 |journal=Annals of Mathematics |volume=172 |issue=2 |pages=949–976 |doi= 10.4007/annals.2012.175.2.10|jstor=23234629 |access-date=|arxiv=1102.1312 }} He also works on Zeta functions in quantum field theory.
