Øystein Ore was a Norwegian mathematician known for his work in ring theory, Galois connections, graph theory, and the history of mathematics.
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.
In mathematics, a totally disconnected group is a topological group that is totally disconnected. Such topological groups are necessarily Hausdorff.
In mathematics, admissible representations are a well-behaved class of representations used in the representation theory of reductive Lie groups and locally compact totally disconnected groups. They were introduced by Harish-Chandra.
Peter Gavin Hall was an Australian researcher in probability theory and mathematical statistics. The American Statistical Association described him as one of the most influential and prolific theoretical statisticians in the history of the field. The School of Mathematics and Statistics Building at The University of Melbourne was renamed the Peter Hall building in his honour on 9 December 2016.
Beno Eckmann was a Swiss mathematician who made contributions to algebraic topology, homological algebra, group theory, and differential geometry.
Idun Reiten is a Norwegian professor of mathematics. She is considered to be one of Norway's greatest mathematicians today. With national and international honors and recognition, she has supervised 11 students and has 28 academic descendants as of March 2024. She is an expert in representation theory, and is known for work in tilting theory and Artin algebras.
Richard Sheldon Palais is an American mathematician working in differential geometry.
Robert Stuart Doran is an American mathematician. He held the John William and Helen Stubbs Potter Professorship in mathematics at Texas Christian University (TCU) from 1995 until his retirement in 2016. Doran served as chair of the TCU mathematics department for 21 years. He has also held visiting appointments at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, the University of Oxford, and the Institute for Advanced Study. He was elected to the board of trustees of the Association of Members of the Institute for Advanced Study, serving as president of the organization for 10 years. He has been an editor for the Encyclopedia of Mathematics and its Applications, Cambridge University Press, a position he has held since 1988. Doran is known for his research-level books, his award-winning teaching, and for his solution to a long-standing open problem due to Irving Kaplansky on a symmetric *-algebra.
Calvin C. Moore was an American mathematician who worked in the theory of operator algebras and topological groups.
James Michael Gardner Fell was a Canadian-American mathematician, specializing in functional analysis and representation theory. He is known for Fell bundles. He was an accomplished linguist who knew Sanskrit, Icelandic, German, French, Russian, Greek, and Latin.
Kari Kaleva Vilonen is a Finnish mathematician, specializing in geometric representation theory. He is currently a professor at the University of Melbourne.
Geordie Williamson is an Australian mathematician at the University of Sydney. He became the youngest living Fellow of the Royal Society when he was elected in 2018 at the age of 36.
Stefaan Vaes is a Belgian mathematician.
Jacqui Ramagge is Executive Dean of the Faculty of Science at Durham University and Honorary Professor of Mathematics at the University of Sydney. She was born in London, emigrated to Australia in 1991, and returned to the UK to take up the position at Durham University in 2020.
Edward George Effros was an American mathematician, specializing in operator algebras and representation theory. His research included "C*-algebras theory and operator algebras, descriptive set theory, Banach space theory, and quantum information."
Anand Pillay is a British mathematician and logician working in model theory and its applications in algebra and number theory.
Leonid Iosifovich Vainerman is a Ukrainian and French mathematician, professor emeritus at University of Caen Normandy. Vainerman's research results are in functional analysis, ordinary differential equations, operator theory, topological groups, Lie groups, and abstract harmonic analysis. In the 1970s, he co-developed Pontryagin-style dualities for non-commutative topological groups, a set of results that served as a precursor for the modern theory of quantum groups.
