Jeff Cheeger (born December 1, 1943) is a mathematician and Silver Professor at the Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences of New York University. His main interest is differential geometry and its connections with topology and analysis .
The first involves the quantitative study of singular sets for various geometric nonlinear partial differential equations including, Einstein manifolds and their Gromov-Hausdorff limits, minimizing harmonic maps, minimizing hypersurfaces and others.
With strong mutual connections and the mention of a few highlights, my work could be summarized as follows. (1) Curvature and geometric analysis; see below. (2) A lower bound for the first nonzero eigenvalue of the Laplacian, which has had a vast, varied and seemingly endless number of descendants.
