George William Whitehead, Jr. (August 2, 1918 – April 12, 2004) was an American professor of mathematics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, a member of the United States National Academy of Sciences, and a Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. He is known for his work on algebraic topology. He invented the J-homomorphism, and was among the first to systematically calculate the homotopy groups of spheres. He is also central to the study of Stable homotopy theory, in particular making concrete the connections between Spectra and Generalized homology/cohomology theories.

  • جورج دبليو. وايتهيد (بالإنجليزية: George W. Whitehead)‏ هو طوبولوجي ورياضياتي أمريكي، ولد في 2 أغسطس 1918 في بلومنجتون في الولايات المتحدة، وتوفي في 12 أبريل 2004. (ar)
  • George William Whitehead (* 2. August 1918 in Bloomington, Illinois; † 12. April 2004) war ein US-amerikanischer Mathematiker, der sich mit Topologie beschäftigte. George Whitehead studierte an der University of Chicago, an der er 1941 bei Norman Steenrod promoviert wurde (Homotopy properties of the real orthogonal groups). Danach war er Instructor an der Purdue University und der Princeton University sowie Assistant Professor an der Brown University, bevor er 1949 Professor am Massachusetts Institute of Technology wurde. Dort erhielt er 1957 eine volle Professur und ging 1985 in den Ruhestand. Whitehead war einer der Pioniere der algebraischen Topologie und Homotopietheorie. In den 1950er Jahren wandte er früh Spektralsequenzen zum Studium der Homotopiegruppen von Sphären an (unabhängig von Jean-Pierre Serre und Henri Cartan in Frankreich). 1942 führte er den J-Homormorphismus von Homotopiegruppen der speziellen orthogonalen Gruppen auf die Homotopiegruppen von Sphären ein in Erweiterung einer Konstruktion von Heinz Hopf. Besonders einflussreich war sein Aufsatz Generalized Homology Theories von 1962. 1972 wurde er Mitglied der National Academy of Sciences und 1954 der American Academy of Arts and Sciences. Er war Guggenheim Fellow und 1955/56 Fulbright Research Scholar. 1962 war er Invited Speaker auf dem Internationalen Mathematikerkongress in Stockholm (Some aspects of stable homotopy theory). Zu seinen Doktoranden gehören Robert Aumann und John Coleman Moore. Er sollte nicht mit John Henry Constantine Whitehead verwechselt werden, nach dem das Lemma von Whitehead, das zur Definition der K1-Gruppe führt, und der Satz von Whitehead, der die Homotopieäquivalenz zwischen CW-Komplexen charakterisiert, benannt sind.

Whitehead was born in Bloomington, Illinois, and received his Ph.D. in mathematics from the University of Chicago in 1941, under the supervision of Norman Steenrod. After teaching at Purdue University, Princeton University, and Brown University, he took a position at MIT in 1949, where he remained until his retirement in 1985. He advised 13 Ph.D. students, including Robert Aumann and John Coleman Moore, and has over 1,320 academic descendants. (en)
