Research and careerAfter his PhD, Williamson was a post-doctoral researcher at the University of Oxford, based at St. Peter's College, Oxford and from 2011 until 2016 he was at the Max Planck Institute for Mathematics. Williamson deals with a geometric representation of group theory. With Ben Elias, he gave a new proof and a simplification of the theory of the Kazhdan–Lusztig conjectures (previously proved in 1981 by both Beilinson–Bernstein and Brylinski–Kashiwara). For this purpose, they built on works by Wolfgang Soergel and developed a purely algebraic Hodge theory of Soergel bimodules about polynomial rings, In this context, they also succeeded in proving the long-standing positive presumption of positivity for the coefficients of the Kazhdan–Lusztig polynomials for Coxeter groups. For Weyl groups (special Coxeter groups, which are connected to Lie groups), David Kazhdan and George Lusztig succeeded in doing so by identifying the polynomials with certain invariants (local intersection cohomology) of Schubert varieties. Elias and Williamson were able to follow this path of proof also for more general groups of reflection (Coxeter groups), although there is no geometrical interpretation in contrast to the case of the Weyl groups. He is also known for several counterexamples. In 1980, Lusztig suggested a character formula for simple modules of reductive groups over fields of finite characteristic p. The conjecture was proved in 1994 by Henning Haahr Andersen, Jens Carsten Jantzen and Wolfgang Soergel for sufficiently large group-specific characteristics (without explicit bound) and later by Peter Fiebig for a very high explicitly stated bound. Williamson found several infinite families of counterexamples to the generally suspected validity limits of Lusztig's conjecture. He also found counterexamples to a 1990 conjecture of Gordon James on symmetric groups. His work also provided new perspectives on the respective conjectures. Publications
Awards and honoursIn 2016, he received the Chevalley Prize of the American Mathematical Society[7] and the Clay Research Award[8]. He is an invited speaker at the European Congress of Mathematicians in Berlin 2016 (Shadows of Hodge theory in representation theory). In 2016 he was awarded the EMS Prize, for 2017 he was awarded the New Horizons in Mathematics Prize. In 2018, he was plenary speaker at the International Congress of Mathematicians in Rio de Janeiro and was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society (FRS) and the Australian Academy of Science[9]. Williamson was awarded the 2018 Australian Mathematical Society Medal [10] References1. ^http://people.mpim-bonn.mpg.de/geordie/ {{FRS 2018}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Williamson, Geordie}}{{authority control}}2. ^Notices AMS, 2016, Nr.4, Chevalley-Preis für Williamson, pdf 3. ^{{cite web | url = http://sydney.edu.au/science/people/g.williamson.php | title = Professor Geordie Williamson | publisher = University of Sydney | publicationdate = 11 April 2013}} 4. ^{{cite web | url = https://sydney.edu.au/news-opinion/news/2018/05/10/professor-geordie-williamson-elected-fellow-of-the-royal-society.html | title = Professor Geordie Williamson elected Fellow of the Royal Society | publisher = University of Sydney | publicationdate = 10 May 2018 }} 5. ^{{cite thesis|title=Singular Soergel Bimodules|degree=PhD|first=Geordie|last=Williamson|oclc=315589361|year=2008}} 6. ^{{MathGenealogyProject}} 7. ^{{cite web | url = https://www.mpim-bonn.mpg.de/node/6355 | title = Geordie Williamson to Receive 2016 AMS Chevalley Prize | publisher = Max Planck Institute for Mathematics }} 8. ^{{cite web | url = http://www.claymath.org/research | title = Clay Mathematics Institute Research Awards }} 9. ^{{cite web | url=https://www.science.org.au/fellowship/fellows/professor-geordie-williamson | title = Professor Geordie Williamson | publisher = Australian Academy of Science}} 10. ^{{cite web| url=http://www.austms.org.au/The+Australian+Mathematical+Society+Medal|title=Australian Mathematical Society Medal}} 8 : 1981 births|Living people|People from Bowral|University of Sydney alumni|University of Freiburg alumni|21st-century Australian mathematicians|Australian Fellows of the Royal Society|Fellows of the Australian Academy of Science |
