TitleSarnak, Peter: certificate of election to the Royal Society
CitationPeter Sarnak is distinguished for his major contributions to analysis and number theory. He is widely recognised internationally as one of the leading analytic number theorists of his generation. His early work on the existence of cusp forms led to the disproof of a conjecture of Selberg. He has obtained the strongest known bounds towards the Ramanujan conjectures for sparse graphs and he was one of the first to exploit connections between certain questions of theoretical physics and analytic number theory. There are fundamental contributions to Arithmetical Quantum Chaos, a term which he introduced, and to the relationship between random matrix theory and the zeros of L-functions. His recent work on subconvexity for Rankin-Selberg L-functions has led to the resolution of Hilbert's eleventh problem.
