Paul Vojta

In formulating Vojta's conjecture, he pointed out the possible existence of parallels between the Nevanlinna theory of complex analysis, and diophantine analysis in the circle of ideas around the Mordell conjecture and abc conjecture. This suggested the importance of the integer solutions (affine space) aspect of diophantine equations.

Vojta wrote the .dvi-previewer xdvi.

He was an undergraduate student at the University of Minnesota, where he was a Putnam Fellow, and a doctoral student at Harvard University (1983).[1] He currently is a professor in the Department of Mathematics at the University of California, Berkeley.

In 2012 he became a fellow of the American Mathematical Society.[2]
