Jonathan Rosenberg (mathematician)


Jonathan Micah Rosenberg is an American mathematician, working in algebraic topology, operator algebras, K-theory and representation theory, with applications to string theory in physics.
Rosenberg received his Ph.D. in 1976, under the supervision of Marc Rieffel, from the University of California, Berkeley. From 1977 to 1981 he was an assistant professor at the University of Pennsylvania. Since 1981, he has been at the University of Maryland at College Park where he is the Ruth M. Davis Professor of Mathematics.
He is also a fellow of the American Mathematical Society.
He studies operator algebras and their relations with topology, geometry, with the unitary representation theory of Lie groups, K-theory and index theory. Along with H. Blaine Lawson and Mikhail Leonidovich Gromov, he is known for the Gromov–Lawson–Rosenberg conjecture.
Since 2015 he has been a managing editor of the Annals of K-Theory. During 2007-2015 he was an editor of the Journal of K-Theory. Before that, he was an associate editor of the Journal of the AMS, and of the Proceedings of the AMS. He was a Sloan Fellow from 1981 to 1984.
