Who is Larry Lurie?

Lurie is a 2014 MacArthur Fellow . When he was a student in the Science, Mathematics, and Computer Science Magnet Program at Montgomery Blair High School, Lurie took part in the International Mathematical Olympiad, where he won a gold medal with a perfect score in 1994.

What is Lurie’s work on elliptic cohomology?

The latter area is the topic of Lurie’s work on elliptic cohomology. Infinity categories (in the form of Joyal’s quasi-categories) are a convenient framework to do homotopy theory in abstract settings. They are the main topic of his book Higher Topos Theory .
