Ronald Fintushel
Ronald Alan Fintushel (born 1945) is an American mathematician, specializing in low-dimensional geometric topology (specifically of 4-manifolds) and the mathematics of gauge theory.
Fintushel studied mathematics at Columbia University with a bachelor's degree in 1967 and at the University of Illinois at Urbana–Champaign with a master's degree in 1969. In 1975 he received his Ph.D. from the State University of New York at Binghamton with thesis Orbit maps of local -actions on manifolds of dimension less than five under the supervision of Louis McAuley. Fintushel was a professor at Tulane University and is a professor at Michigan State University.
His research deals with geometric topology, in particular of 4-manifolds (including the computation of Donaldson and Seiberg-Witten invariants) with links to gauge theory, knot theory, and symplectic geometry. He works closely with Ronald J. Stern.
In 1998 he was an Invited Speaker, with Ronald J. Stern, with talk Construction of smooth 4-manifolds at the International Congress of Mathematicians in Berlin. In 1997 Fintushel received the Distinguished Faculty Award from Michigan State University. In 2016 a conference was held in his honor at Tulane University.
He was elected a Fellow of the American Mathematical Society. Fintushel is a member of the editorial boards of Geometry & Topology and the Michigan Mathematical Journal.
