Paul Vojta

Prof. Vojta's personal interests are chronicled elsewhere.

Mathematical Activities

Paul Vojta is a professor in the Department of Mathematics at the University of California, Berkeley.

His mathematical areas of interest include:

• Diophantine approximation
• Nevanlinna theory, especially as related to diophantine approximation
• Arakelov theory

His curriculum vitae and bibliography are available on-line. The latter contains links to TeX or PostScript copies of some of his papers.

Copies of the lecture notes and slides from his 2007 CIME course on diophantine approximation and Nevanlinna theory are available here.

Teaching

This semester (Spring 2013), Prof. Vojta is teaching

Journal Editor

Prof. Vojta is wrapping up his duties as an editor for Journal für die reine und angewandte Mathematik ("Crelle's journal''). He is continuing to handle papers submitted prior to the end of 2011, but is no longer receiving new papers for submission. New papers should instead be sent to the Managing Editor, Rainer Weissauer, or to any of the editors listed on the inside front cover of recent issues of Crelle (other than Prof. Vojta).

Programming Activities

Prof. Vojta has written the following programs:

• For TeX:
  • xdvi -- a previewer for .dvi files under the X Window System
  • gsftopk -- a utility for converting PostScript fonts into .pk format
• For linux:
  • qconfig -- a configuration program for the kernel. (Not useful for current kernels.)
• hpvptyd -- a daemon for driving ethernet printers using software for serial printers.
• For DOS:
  • calvin -- a small, partial clone of the Unix vi command, available with source code in C and assembler code. There is also a calvin home page.
  • comp -- a clone of the DOS command of the same name, contributed to the FreeDOS project
  • debug -- a clone of the DOS command of the same name, written for the FreeDOS project
