Robert Martin Solovay (born December 15, 1938) is an American mathematician specializing in set theory. Biography Solovay earned his Ph.D. from the University of Chicago in 1964 under the direction of Saunders Mac Lane, with a dissertation on ''A Functorial Form of the Differentiable Riemann–Roch theorem''. Solovay has spent his career at the University of California at Berkeley, where his Ph.D. students include W. Hugh Woodin and Matthew Foreman. Work Solovay's theorems include: * Solovay's theorem showing that, if one assumes the existence of an inaccessible cardinal, then the statement "every set of real numbers is Lebesgue measurable" is consistent with Zermelo–Fraenkel set theory without the axiom of choice; * Isolating the notion of 0#; * Proving that the existence of a real-valued measurable cardinal is equiconsistent with the existence of a measurable cardinal; * Proving that if \lambda is a strong limit singular cardinal, greater than a strongly compact cardinal ...
