David Ginzburg

David Ginzburg is a professor of mathematics at Tel Aviv University working in number theory and automorphic forms.

Career
Ginzburg received his PhD in mathematics from Tel Aviv University in 1988 under the supervision of Stephen Gelbart. He is a professor of mathematics at Tel Aviv University.

Research
Together with Stephen Rallis and David Soudry, Ginzburg wrote a series of papers about automorphic descent culminating in their book "The descent map from automorphic representations of GL(n) to classical groups". Their automorphic descent method constructs an explicit inverse map to the (standard) Langlands functorial lift and has had major applications to the analysis of functoriality. Also, using the "Rallis tower property" from Rallis's 1984 paper on the Howe duality conjecture, they studied global exceptional correspondences and found new examples of functorial lifts.
