Bethany Rose Marsh is a mathematician working in the areas of cluster algebras, representation theory of finite-dimensional algebras, homological algebra, tilting theory, quantum groups, algebraic groups, Lie algebras and Coxeter groups. [1] Marsh currently works at the University of Leeds as a Professor of pure mathematics. She was a EPSRC Leadership Fellow from 2008 to 2014. [1] In addition to her duties at the University of Leeds, Marsh was an editor of the Glasgow Mathematical Journal from 2008 to 2013 and served on the London Mathematical Society editorial board from 2014 to 2018. [2]
In July 2009, Marsh was awarded the Whitehead Prize by the London Mathematical Society for her work on representation theory, and especially for her research on cluster categories and cluster algebras. [3]
The Adams Prize is a prize awarded each year by the Faculty of Mathematics at St John's College to a UK-based mathematician for distinguished research in mathematical sciences.
George Lusztig is a Romanian-born American mathematician and Abdun Nur Professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). He was a Norbert Wiener Professor in the Department of Mathematics from 1999 to 2009.
Jaroslav (Jarik) Nešetřil is a Czech mathematician, working at Charles University in Prague. His research areas include combinatorics, graph theory, algebra, posets, computer science.
Burt James Totaro, FRS, is an American mathematician, currently a professor at the University of California, Los Angeles, specializing in algebraic geometry and algebraic topology.
Rostislav Ivanovich Grigorchuk is a mathematician working in different areas of mathematics including group theory, dynamical systems, geometry and computer science. He holds the rank of Distinguished Professor in the Mathematics Department of Texas A&M University. Grigorchuk is particularly well known for having constructed, in a 1984 paper, the first example of a finitely generated group of intermediate growth, thus answering an important problem posed by John Milnor in 1968. This group is now known as the Grigorchuk group and it is one of the important objects studied in geometric group theory, particularly in the study of branch groups, automaton groups and iterated monodromy groups. Grigorchuk is one of the pioneers of asymptotic group theory as well as of the theory of dynamically defined groups. He introduced the notion of branch groups and developed the foundations of the related theory. Grigorchuk, together with his collaborators and students, initiated the theory of groups generated by finite Mealy type automata, interpreted them as groups of fractal type, developed the theory of groups acting on rooted trees, and found numerous applications of these groups in various fields of mathematics including functional analysis, topology, spectral graph theory, dynamical systems and ergodic theory.
Srinivasacharya Raghavan was an Indian mathematician who worked in number theory. He was born on 11 April 1934 in Thillaisthanam, Thanjavur, Tamil Nadu. After completing B.A. (Hons) from St. Joseph's College, Tiruchirapalli, he joined TIFR in 1954 as research student, and completed his Ph.D. in 1960 under the supervision of Professors K. Chandrasekharan and K.G. Ramanathan. He was affiliated with TIFR from 1956 until retirement in 1994, and served as Dean of Mathematics Faculty during 1986–89. He played an important role in the development of the TIFR Centre for Applicable Mathematics at Bangalore in its initial years. He also held visiting appointments at the Institute for Advanced Study, Princeton, USA, Sonderforschungsberiech at University of Goettingen, Germany, SPIC Mathematical Institute and taught at the Centre for Advanced Studies in Mathematics at the University of Mumbai for many years.
Karen Vogtmann (born July 13, 1949 in Pittsburg, California) is an American mathematician working primarily in the area of geometric group theory. She is known for having introduced, in a 1986 paper with Marc Culler, an object now known as the Culler–Vogtmann Outer space. The Outer space is a free group analog of the Teichmüller space of a Riemann surface and is particularly useful in the study of the group of outer automorphisms of the free group on n generators, Out(Fn). Vogtmann is a professor of mathematics at Cornell University and the University of Warwick.
Raphaël Alexis Marcel Rouquier is a French mathematician and a professor of mathematics at UCLA.
Norman Linstead Biggs is a leading British mathematician focusing on discrete mathematics and in particular algebraic combinatorics.
Ronald Brown FLSW is an English mathematician. Emeritus Professor in the School of Computer Science at Bangor University, he has authored many books and more than 160 journal articles.
In mathematics, specifically representation theory, tilting theory describes a way to relate the module categories of two algebras using so-called tilting modules and associated tilting functors. Here, the second algebra is the endomorphism algebra of a tilting module over the first algebra.
Georgia McClure Benkart was an American mathematician who was known for her work in the structure and representation theory of Lie algebras and related algebraic structures. She published over 130 journal articles and co-authored three American Mathematical Society memoirs in four broad categories: modular Lie algebras; combinatorics of Lie algebra representations; graded algebras and superalgebras; and quantum groups and related structures.
M. Susan Montgomery is a distinguished American mathematician whose current research interests concern noncommutative algebras: in particular, Hopf algebras, their structure and representations, and their actions on other algebras. Her early research was on group actions on rings.
Ellen Elizabeth Kirkman is professor of mathematics at Wake Forest University. Her research interests include noncommutative algebra, representation theory, and homological algebra.
William Walstan Crawley-Boevey is an English mathematician. Since 2016, he has been Alexander von Humboldt Professor at Universität Bielefeld, on leave from his position as Professor of Pure Mathematics at the University of Leeds. His research concerns representation theory and the theory of quivers.
Boris Lvovich Feigin is a Russian mathematician. His research has spanned representation theory, mathematical physics, algebraic geometry, Lie groups and Lie algebras, conformal field theory, homological and homotopical algebra.
Ismat Beg, FPAS, FIMA, is a Pakistani mathematician and researcher. Beg is a professor at Lahore School of Economics, Higher Education Commission Distinguished National Professor and an honorary full professor at the Mathematics Division at the Ruggero Santilli Institute for Basic Research, Florida, US. He has an enthusiastic and interactive teaching style and is famous for saying “please come on the board” when posed with a question in class. This helps uplift the students’ confidence.
Tara Elise Brendle is an American mathematician who works in geometric group theory, which involves the intersection of algebra and low-dimensional topology. In particular, she studies mapping class group of surfaces, including braid groups, and their relationship to automorphism groups of free groups and arithmetic groups. She is a professor of mathematics and head of mathematics at the University of Glasgow.
