瓦爾特·法伊特（Walter Feit，1930年10月26日－2014年7月29日）是一位美國數學家，主要研究領域為有限群論及表示論。法伊特生於維也納，並於1939年移居英格蘭。1946年，法伊特前往美國芝加哥大學攻讀學士學位，後於密西根大學完成博士學位，並先後於1952年及1964年在康乃爾大學及耶魯大學擔任教師。法伊特最為人所知的成就為與約翰·格里格斯·湯普森一起證明出法伊特-湯普森定理。該定理敘述，所有奇數階的有限群都是可解群。在定理提出之際，該證明大概可說是史上曾出現過最為複雜與困難的數學證明。法伊特還寫過其他將近100篇的論文，大多數與有限群論、特徵標理論及等領域有關。法伊特於1965年獲美國數學學會頒發柯爾獎，並獲選為美國國家科學院與美國文理科學院的院士。法伊特也曾擔任過國際數學聯盟的副總裁。法伊特曾在1970年於尼斯舉辦的國際數學家大會上受邀演講。法伊特逝世於康乃狄克州。 rdf:langString

rdf:langString Walter Feit (October 26, 1930 – July 29, 2004) was an Austrian-born American mathematician who worked in finite group theory and representation theory. His contributions provided elementary infrastructure used in algebra, geometry, topology, number theory, and logic. His work helped the development and utilization of sectors like cryptography, chemistry, and physics. He was born to a Jewish family in Vienna and escaped for England in 1939 via the Kindertransport. He moved to the United States in 1946 where he became an undergraduate at the University of Chicago. He did his Ph.D. at the University of Michigan, and became a professor at Cornell University in 1952, and at Yale University in 1964. His most famous result is his proof, joint with John G. Thompson, of the Feit–Thompson theorem that all finite groups of odd order are solvable. At the time it was written, it was probably the most complicated and difficult mathematical proof ever completed.He wrote almost a hundred other papers, mostly on finite group theory, character theory (in particular introducing the concept of a coherent set of characters), and modular representation theory. Another regular theme in his research was the study of linear groups of small degree, that is, finite groups of matrices in low dimensions. It was often the case that, while the conclusions concerned groups of complex matrices, the techniques employed were from modular representation theory. He also wrote the books:The representation theory of finite groups and Characters of finite groups, which are now standard references on character theory, including treatments of modular representationsand modular characters. Feit was an invited speaker at the International Congress of Mathematicians (ICM) in Nice in 1970. He was awarded the Cole Prize by the American Mathematical Society in 1965, and was elected to the United States National Academy of Sciences and the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. He also served as Vice-President of the International Mathematical Union. "In October 2003, on the eve of Professor Feit's retirement, colleagues and former students gathered at Yale for a special four-day "Conference on Groups, Representations and Galois Theory" to honor him and his contributions. Nearly 80 researchers from around the world met to exchange ideas in the fields he had helped to create." He died in Branford, Connecticut in 2004 and was survived by his wife, Dr. Sidnie Feit, and a son and daughter. "A memorial service was held on Sunday October 10, 2004 at the New Haven Lawn Club, 193 Whitney Avenue, New Haven, CT."

Hij werd geboren in Wenen in een Joodse familie. Zijn ouders, die tijdens de oorlog werden vermoord, stuurden hem in 1939 als onderdeel van een kindertransport naar Engeland. Na de Tweede Wereldoorlog in 1946 verhuisde hij naar de Verenigde Staten, waar hij studeerde aan de Universiteit van Chicago. Hij promoveerde aan de Universiteit van Michigan. In 1952 werd hij professor aan de Cornell Universiteit en in 1964 werd hij hoogleraar aan de Yale-universiteit. Zijn beroemdste resultaat is zijn gezamenlijke, met John Griggs Thompson gevonden bewijs van de , dat alle eindige groepen van oneven orde oplosbaar zijn. Op het moment dat dit bewijs werd gepubliceerd was het waarschijnlijk het meest gecompliceerde en moeilijkste wiskundig bewijs dat ooit was voltooid. Feit publiceerde bijna honderd andere artikelen, meestal over de eindige groepentheorie, de karaktertheorie en de . Een ander regelmatig thema in zijn werk was de studie van lineaire groepen van kleinere graad, dat wil zeggen eindige groepen van matrices in lagere dimensies. Het was vaak het geval dat, terwijl de conclusies betrekking hadden op groepen van complexe matrices, de gebruikte technieken uit de kwamen. Ook schreef hij de boeken De representatietheorie van eindige groepen ISBN 0-444-86155-6 enKarakteristieken van eindige groepen, wat nu standaardwerken waren op het gebied van de karakteristiektheorie, met inbegrip van behandelingen van modulaire vertegenwoordigingen en modulaire karakters.
