'''David Harbater''' (born December 19, 1952) is an [[United States|American]] [[mathematician]] at the [[University of Pennsylvania]], well known for his work in [[Galois theory]], [[algebraic geometry]] and [[arithmetic geometry]].

==Life and work==
Harbater was born in [[New York City]] and attended [[Stuyvesant High School]], where he was on the math team. After graduating in 1970, he entered [[Harvard University]].

After graduating [[summa cum laude]] in 1974, Harbater earned a master's degree from [[Brandeis University]] and then a Ph.D. in 1978 from [[MIT]], where he wrote a dissertation (Deformation Theory and the Fundamental Group in Algebraic Geometry) under the direction of [[Michael Artin]].

In 1995, Harbater was awarded the [[Cole Prize]] for his solution, with [[Michel Raynaud]], of the long outstanding [[Abhyankar conjecture]]. He has also solved the [[inverse Galois problem]] over <math>\mathbb{Q}_p(t)</math>, and made many other significant contributions to the field of [[Galois theory]].

In 2012 he became a fellow of the [[American Mathematical Society]].<ref>[http://www.ams.org/profession/fellows-list List of Fellows of the American Mathematical Society], retrieved 2013-01-19.</ref>

Harbater's recent work on [[patching over fields]], together with [[Julia Hartmann]] and [[Daniel Krashen]], has had applications in such varied fields as [[quadratic forms]], [[central simple algebra]]s and [[local-global principle]]s.
