Maximilian Hauck

Maximilian Hauck is a German mathematician and quantitative-trading intern. He represented Germany at the International Mathematical Olympiad in 2020 and 2021, winning a bronze medal both times, and holds an IMC 2023 1st prize with the University of Bonn team. He is a doctoral researcher in mathematics at the University of Bonn (linked with the Max Planck Institute for Mathematics), working in arithmetic geometry and p-adic Hodge theory, with a focus on syntomic cohomology of p-adic formal schemes and rigid-analytic varieties; he authored arXiv preprint 2409.10557 'A stacky approach to p-adic Hodge theory' and co-authored work on smooth numbers with few non-zero binary digits. In 2025 he took part in the Jane Street Quantitative Trading Camp and G-Research's 'Spring into Quant Finance' student programme, and in 2026 began a Quantitative Trading Internship at Jane Street.

• Quant employment verification: CONFIRMED. Maximilian Hauck holds a Jane Street Quantitative Trading Internship (LinkedIn current role, dates '2026–'; caller lead gives start 2026-07). Jane Street is a quantitative trading firm (market-maker / systematic trading), so this is an actual quantitative-finance role. Identity is supported: the LinkedIn profile (maximilian-hauck-9a3004271) is corroborated by independent primary sources - IMO 2020 and 2021 German-team bronze medals (imo-official.org), the IMC 2023 Bonn team (uni-bonn.de), his arXiv papers, and his MPIM talk. The G-Research role ('Spring into Quant Finance', 2025) is a student insight programme, not employment, and G-Research is likewise a quantitative finance firm; the Jane Street Quantitative Trading Camp (2025) is likewise a student programme. Only the Jane Street internship qualifies as an actual role, and it does.
• Enrolled as a doctoral researcher in mathematics at the University of Bonn (linked with the Max Planck Institute for Mathematics); research in arithmetic geometry and p-adic Hodge theory, specifically syntomic cohomology of p-adic formal schemes and rigid-analytic varieties.
• LinkedIn headline self-reports 2x IMO bronze and an IMC gold plus German Academic Scholarship Foundation (Studienstiftung) support; these are self-reported on the index-sourced profile, not yet primary-confirmed.
• Authored arXiv preprint 2409.10557 'A stacky approach to p-adic Hodge theory' (submitted 8 Sep 2024), generalising Drinfeld and Bhatt-Lurie comparison theorems in p-adic Hodge theory.
• Student programmes (not employment): Jane Street Quantitative Trading Camp (2025) and G-Research 'Spring into Quant Finance' (2025) - both insight/camp programmes, not work roles.
• IMO record (primary): bronze medal for Germany at IMO 2020 (15 points, rank 294, 52.4%); team page lists medal letter B.
• IMO record (primary): bronze medal for Germany at IMO 2021 (14 points, rank 218, 64.9%).
• Gave an MPIM Oberseminar Arithmetic Geometry and Representation Theory talk 'Syntomification of rigid-analytic varieties over Qp' on 28 April 2026, affiliated with MPIM.
• Earlier role history: Research Intern at MPIM (2022, analytic number theory, sparse smooth numbers); Teaching Assistant at RPTU Kaiserslautern-Landau (2021-2022) and University of Bonn (2022-); Intern at Talanx (2019, insurance, not quantitative finance).
• mathe-wettbewerbe.de reports Hauck as 'Maximilian Hauck (19, Alzey)' taking bronze at IMO 2021, giving an independent German media confirmation of the medal and home town, consistent with Abitur at Elisabeth-Langgässer Gymnasium in Alzey.
• Member of the University of Bonn team at the International Mathematics Competition for University Students (IMC) 2023, awarded 1st prize; Uni Bonn news names him in the German team photo (IMC 2023, Bulgaria).
• Co-authored 'Smooth numbers with few non-zero binary digits' with Igor E. Shparlinski (arXiv 2212.10209, 2022; Canadian Mathematical Bulletin 67:1, 2024) - a genuine research publication linked to his 2022 MPIM research internship.
