John Torrence Tate was an American mathematician who won both the Wolf and Abel prizes for his work in number theory. He was born in Minneapolis, Minnesota on 13 March 1925 and died in Lexington, Massachusetts on 16 October 2019. The Tate conjecture of 1963 on algebraic cycles, the first published form of the Brumer-Stark conjecture and the Sato-Tate conjecture on elliptic curves all carry his name.

In mathematics, specifically arithmetic geometry, the Tate conjecture is a 1963 conjecture of John Tate that would describe the algebraic cycles on a variety in terms of a more computable invariant, the Galois representation on étale cohomology

This is due to Mikio Sato and John Tate (independently, and around 1960, published somewhat later).
