Harold Rosenberg

Harold William Rosenberg is an American mathematician who works on differential geometry. Rosenberg has worked at Columbia University, at the Institut des Hautes Études Scientifiques, and at the University of Paris. He currently works at the IMPA, Brazil. He earned his Ph.D. at the University of California, Berkeley in 1963 under the supervision of Stephen P. L. Diliberto.
In 2004 he was elected to the Brazilian Academy of Sciences. His students include Norbert A'Campo, Christian Bonatti, and Michael Herman.
In 1993, he studied the hypersurfaces in Euclidean space with a given constant value of an elementary symmetric polynomial of the shape operator, known as a higher-order mean curvature. His primary result was to obtain some control of the height of such a surface over a plane containing its boundary. As an application, he was able to derive some rigidity results for complete surfaces with constant higher-order mean curvature.
