Gabriel Navarro Ortega (born in Sueca, Valencia) is a Spanish mathematician specializing in group theory, and representation theory of finite groups. Currently he is a full professor at the Universitat de València.
Career
Navarro received his PhD at the Universitat de València in 1989. He held a Fulbright post doctoral position at MSRI and at the University of Wisconsin-Madison under the supervision of I. M. Isaacs. He is fellow of the American Mathematical Society[1] and Distinguished Speaker of the European Mathematical Society.[2]
In 2024 together with G. Malle, A. Schaeffer-Fry and P. H. Tiep, he completed the proof of Brauer's Height Zero Conjecture.[3] He also extended the McKay Conjecture (with congruences of degrees modulo p with I. M. Isaacs,[4] and with Galois automorphisms: the Galois-McKay conjecture[5]). Together with I. M. Isaacs and G. Malle, he reduced the McKay conjecture to a question of finite simple groups[6] establishing the path for its final solution by M. Cabanes and B. Späth in 2024. This reduction inspired several other reductions, such as the Alperin Weight Conjecture[7] (with P. H. Tiep) or the Alperin-McKay conjecture[8] (by B. Späth).
