Education
Laumon studied at the École Normale Supérieure and Paris-Sud 11 University, Orsay.[1]
Work
In 1987, Vladimir Drinfeld and Laumon formulated the geometric Langlands conjecture for general linear groups over a function field .[2]: 46 [3]
In 2008, Laumon and Ngô Bảo Châu proved the fundamental lemma for unitary groups, a component in the Langlands program in number theory.[4][5]
Awards
He was awarded the Silver Medal of the CNRS in 1987, the E. Dechelle prize of the French Academy of the Sciences in 1992, and the Clay Research Award in 2004.[4] Laumon and Ngô received the Clay Research Award for the proof of the fundamental lemma for unitary groups, a component in the Langlands program in number theory, in 2004.[4]
In 2012, he became a fellow of the American Mathematical Society.[6]
