Jakob Stix

Jakob M. Stix (born in 1974) is a German mathematician. He deals with arithmetic algebraic geometry (étale fundamental group, anabelian geometry and others).

Jakob Stix, Oberwolfach 2018

Stix studied mathematics in Freiburg and Bonn and received his doctorate in 2002 from Florian Pop at the University of Bonn (Projective Anabelian Curves in Positive Characteristic and Descent Theory for Log-Etale Covers[1]). His dissertation was awarded the best doctoral thesis of the year 2002 by the Mathematical Institute of the University of Bonn. He was a post-doctoral student at the Institute for Advanced Study. In 2008 he became junior research group leader at the Mathematics Center of the University of Heidelberg, where he habilitated in 2011 (Evidence for the section conjecture in the theory of arithmetic fundamental groups). Stix is now a professor at the University of Frankfurt.
