John G. Thompson is a prominent American mathematician known for his contributions to group theory, specifically in the areas of finite groups and representation theory. Born on November 14, 1932, he has had a significant impact on modern algebra. Thompson is perhaps best known for his work on simple groups, particularly the classification of finite simple groups, and he also played a key role in the development of the theory of groups generated by permutations.
