Biography: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 Instituto de Investigaciones en Matemáticas Aplicadas y en Sistemas (IIMAS) of the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México (UNAM). At IIMAS-UNAM he was from 1972 to 1973 a visiting researcher, from 1974 to 1975 a researcher (Asociado C), from 1975 to 1978 a researcher (Titular A), and from 1978 to 1981 a researcher (Titular B). He was from 1973 to 1974 a visiting researcher at the University of Montreal and from 1981 to 1982 a visiting research fellow at Harvard University. At Clarkson University he was from 1983 to 1988 an associate professor. At the University of New Mexico he was from 1988 to 2012 a full professor, retiring as professor emeritus in 2012.
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.
