Sir William Vallance Douglas Hodge FRS FRSE[2] (/hɒdʒ/; 17 June 1903 – 7 July 1975) was a British mathematician, specifically a geometer.[3][4]
His discovery of far-reaching topological relations between algebraic geometry and differential geometry—an area now called Hodge theory and pertaining more generally to Kähler manifolds—has been a major influence on subsequent work in geometry.
