Timeline

1940

Daniel Gray Quillen (June 22, 1940 – April 30, 2011) was an American mathematician.

1959

He was a Putnam Fellow in 1959.

Quillen obtained a position at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology after completing his doctorate.

He also spent a number of years at several other universities.

1961

He entered Harvard University, where he earned both his AB, in 1961, and his PhD in 1964; the latter completed under the supervision of Raoul Bott, with a thesis in partial differential equations.

1968

He visited France twice: first as a Sloan Fellow in Paris, during the academic year 1968–69, where he was greatly influenced by Grothendieck, and then, during 1973–74, as a Guggenheim Fellow.

1969

In 1969–70, he was a visiting member of the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, where he came under the influence of Michael Atiyah.

1972

Quillen's best known contribution (mentioned specifically in his Fields medal citation) was his formulation of higher algebraic K-theory in 1972.

This new tool, formulated in terms of homotopy theory, proved to be successful in formulating and solving problems in algebra, particularly in ring theory and module theory.

More generally, Quillen developed tools (especially his theory of model categories) that allowed algebro-topological tools to be applied in other contexts.

Before his work in defining higher algebraic K-theory, Quillen worked on the Adams conjecture, formulated by Frank Adams, in homotopy theory.

His proof of the conjecture used techniques from the modular representation theory of groups, which he later applied to work on cohomology of groups and algebraic K-theory.

He also worked on complex cobordism, showing that its formal group law is essentially the universal one.

In related work, he also supplied a proof of Serre's conjecture about the triviality of algebraic vector bundles on affine space, which led to the Bass–Quillen conjecture.

He was also an architect (along with Dennis Sullivan) of rational homotopy theory.

He introduced the Quillen determinant line bundle and the Mathai–Quillen formalism.

1975

He is known for being the "prime architect" of higher algebraic K-theory, for which he was awarded the Cole Prize in 1975 and the Fields Medal in 1978.

1978

In 1978, Quillen received a Fields Medal at the International Congress of Mathematicians held in Helsinki.

1984

From 1984 to 2006, he was the Waynflete Professor of Pure Mathematics at Magdalen College, Oxford.

Quillen was born in Orange, New Jersey, and attended Newark Academy.

From 1984 to 2006, he was the Waynflete Professor of Pure Mathematics at Magdalen College, Oxford.

2006

Quillen retired at the end of 2006.

He died from complications of Alzheimer's disease on April 30,

2011

2011, aged 70, in Florida.
