John Henry Constantine Whitehead FRS, known as "Henry", was a British mathematician and was one of the founders of homotopy theory. He was born in Chennai, in India, and died in Princeton, New Jersey, in 1960.
Daniel Gray Quillen was an American mathematician. He is known for being the "prime architect" of higher algebraic K-theory, for which he was awarded the Cole Prize in 1975 and the Fields Medal in 1978.
Sir Simon Kirwan Donaldson is an English mathematician known for his work on the topology of smooth (differentiable) four-dimensional manifolds, Donaldson–Thomas theory, and his contributions to Kähler geometry. He is currently a permanent member of the Simons Center for Geometry and Physics at Stony Brook University in New York, and a Professor in Pure Mathematics at Imperial College London.
Irving Kaplansky was a mathematician, college professor, author, and amateur musician.
Bertram Kostant was an American mathematician who worked in representation theory, differential geometry, and mathematical physics.
Maurice Auslander was an American mathematician who worked on commutative algebra, homological algebra and the representation theory of Artin algebras. He proved the Auslander–Buchsbaum theorem that regular local rings are factorial, the Auslander–Buchsbaum formula, and, in collaboration with Idun Reiten, introduced Auslander–Reiten theory and Auslander algebras.
In mathematics, especially ring theory, the class of Frobenius rings and their generalizations are the extension of work done on Frobenius algebras. Perhaps the most important generalization is that of quasi-Frobenius rings, which are in turn generalized by right pseudo-Frobenius rings and right finitely pseudo-Frobenius rings. Other diverse generalizations of quasi-Frobenius rings include QF-1, QF-2 and QF-3 rings.
Charles Whittlesey Curtis is a mathematician and historian of mathematics, known for his work in finite group theory and representation theory. He is a retired professor of mathematics at the University of Oregon.
László Fuchs is a Hungarian-born American mathematician, the Evelyn and John G. Phillips Distinguished Professor Emeritus in Mathematics at Tulane University. He is known for his research and textbooks in group theory and abstract algebra.
Tsit Yuen Lam is a Hong Kong-American mathematician specializing in algebra, especially ring theory and quadratic forms.
Nolan Russell Wallach is a mathematician known for work in the representation theory of reductive algebraic groups. He is the author of the two-volume treatise Real Reductive Groups.
Barbara L. Osofsky is a retired professor of mathematics at Rutgers University. Her research concerns abstract algebra. Osofsky's contributions to mathematics include her characterization of semisimple rings in terms of properties of cyclic modules. Osofsky also established a logical equivalence between the continuum hypothesis and statements about the global dimension of associative rings.
Kenneth C. Millett is a professor of mathematics at the University of California, Santa Barbara. His research concerns low-dimensional topology, knot theory, and the applications of knot theory to DNA structure; his initial is the "M" in the name of the HOMFLY polynomial.
Ronald J. DiPerna was an American mathematician, who worked on nonlinear partial differential equations.
Kari Kaleva Vilonen is a Finnish mathematician, specializing in geometric representation theory. He is currently a professor at the University of Melbourne.
William Hamilton Meeks III is an American mathematician, specializing in differential geometry and minimal surfaces.
Dietmar Arno Salamon is a German mathematician.
David Erie Nadler is an American mathematician who specializes in geometric representation theory and symplectic geometry. He is currently a professor at the University of California, Berkeley.
Andrei Vladimirovich Roiter was a Ukrainian mathematician, specializing in algebra.
Klaus Wilhelm Roggenkamp was a German mathematician, specializing in algebra.
