Charles P. Boyer
Charles Place Boyer (born April 1942) is an American mathematician, specializing in differential geometry and moduli spaces.[1] He is known as one of the four mathematicians who jointly proved in 1992 the Atiyah–Jones conjecture.
Boyer graduated from Pennsylvania State University with a B.S. in 1966 and a Ph.D. in 1972. His thesis Field Theory on a Seven-Dimensional Homogeneous Space of the Poincaré Group was written under the supervision of Gordon N. Fleming. After receiving his Ph.D. Boyer worked for a number of years at the
He is the author or co-author of over 100 articles in refereed journals. He worked for many years with Krzysztof Galicki (1958–2007).[2][3][4][5] Their comprehensive monograph (and graduate textbook) Sasakian Geometry was published shortly after Galicki's death.[6] In 2012 Boyer was elected a fellow of the American Mathematical Society.
