David Arends Gieseker is an American mathematician, specializing in algebraic geometry.
Gieseker received his bachelor's degree in 1965 from Reed College and his master's degree from Harvard University in 1967. In 1970 he received his Ph.D. under Robin Hartshorne with thesis Contributions to the Theory of Positive Embeddings in Algebraic Geometry. Gieseker became a professor at the University of California, Los Angeles in 1975.
The topics of his research include geometric invariant theory and moduli of vector bundles over algebraic curves.
