Steven Lawrence Kleiman (born March 31, 1942) is an American mathematician.
Kleiman is a Professor of Mathematics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Born in Boston, he did his undergraduate studies at the MIT. He received his Ph.D. from Harvard University in 1965, after studying there with Oscar Zariski and David Mumford, and joined the MIT faculty in 1969. Kleiman held the prestigious NATO Postdoctoral Fellowship (1966-1967), Sloan Fellowship (1968), and Guggenheim Fellowship (1979).
Kleiman is known for his work in algebraic geometry and commutative algebra. He has made seminal contributions in motivic cohomology, moduli theory, intersection theory and enumerative geometry. A study of academic collaborations in enumerative geometry found that he was not only the most prolific author in that area, but also the one with the most collaborative ties, and the most central author of the field in terms of closeness centrality; the study's authors proposed to name the collaboration graph of the field in his honor.
In 1989 the University of Copenhagen awarded him an honorary doctorate and in May 2002 the Norwegian Academy of Science and Letters hosted a conference in honor of his 60th birthday and elected him as a foreign member. In 1992 Kleiman was elected foreign member of the Royal Danish Academy of Sciences and Letters.
