About:

My name is Zachariah (Zach) Zobair and I am an incoming mathematics Ph.D. student at Duke University. Previously, I was at Boston University, where I completed my Bachelor's and Master's degrees in pure mathematics. My Master's thesis advisor was Professor Alexander Bertoloni Meli.

I broadly like stuff that lies in the world of algebraic number theory and algebraic geometry. More specifically, I recently have been enjoying studying things relating to the Langlands program and automorphic representations.

Stuff I've Written:

• Master's Thesis: On the Local Langlands Correspondence for GL₂(F) When p ≠ 2 (2025) (pdf)
  Advisor: Prof. Alexander Bertoloni Meli
• Rigid Analytic Geometry (2025) (pdf)
  Notes on Rigid Analytic Geometry, by way of Tate.
• An Introduction to Equivariant Cohomology (2024) (pdf)
  Introductory notes on the construction of equivariant cohomology.
• On the Construction of the Ring of Witt Vectors (2024) (pdf)
  Expository notes on Witt Vectors and some motivation of their construction.

Miscellaneous:

Outside of math, I enjoy music and sports.

You can see the music I've been listening to recently by looking at my Spotify. Some artists/bands I'm into these days include Pavement, Khruangbin, and Dean Blunt. I'm a huge Boston sports fan. I mainly follow the NBA, but I tune into the NFL and MLB seasons while they're going on.
