Ilya Piatetski-Shapiro is recognized among Jewish contributors to Science & Medicine — Automorphic forms and representation theory
A Soviet-born Jew, Piatetski-Shapiro faced systematic antisemitism in the USSR and emigrated to Israel in 1976, later dividing his time with Yale. Across automorphic forms, representation theory and the Langlands program, he unified many strands of modern number theory despite decades battling Parkinson's disease. He received the 1990 Wolf Prize in Mathematics. He was Jewish.
