David Alexander Vogan Jr. (born September 8, 1954) is a mathematician at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology who works on unitary representations of simple Lie groups.
While studying at
Ph.D. from M.I.T. in 1976, under the supervision of Bertram Kostant.[3]
In his thesis, he introduced the notion of lowest K type in the course of obtaining
an algebraic classification of irreducible Atlas of Lie Groups and Representations
.
Vogan was elected to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in 1996.[4] He served as Head of the Department of Mathematics at MIT from 1999 to 2004.[5] In 2012 he became Fellow of the American Mathematical Society.[6] He was president of the AMS in 2013–2014.[7] He was elected to the National Academy of Sciences in 2013.[8] He was the Norbert Wiener Chair of Mathematics at MIT until his retirement in 2020, and is currently the Norbert Wiener Emeritus Professor of Mathematics.[9]
