Kathryn Elizabeth Hare (born 1959) [1] is a Canadian mathematician specializing in harmonic analysis and fractal geometry. [2] She was the Chair of the Pure Mathematics Department at the University of Waterloo from 2014 to 2018. [3] She retired from the University of Waterloo in 2021.
Hare did her undergraduate studies at the University of Waterloo, graduating in 1981. [2] She earned a Ph.D. from the University of British Columbia in 1986. Her dissertation, under the supervision of John J. F. Fournier, was Thin Sets and Strict-Two-Associatedness, and concerned group representation theory. [2] [4]
She was an assistant professor at the University of Alberta from 1986 to 1988, before she moved back to Waterloo. [2]
In 2011, the Chalmers University of Technology awarded her an Honorary Doctorate for her "prominent research, both in extent and depth, within classical and abstract harmonic analysis". [5] In 2020 she was named as a Fellow of the Canadian Mathematical Society. [6]
In mathematics, the factorial of a non-negative integer , denoted by , is the product of all positive integers less than or equal to . The factorial of also equals the product of with the next smaller factorial:
Josip Plemelj was a Slovene mathematician, whose main contributions were to the theory of analytic functions and the application of integral equations to potential theory. He was the first chancellor of the University of Ljubljana.
Norbert Wiener was an American mathematician and philosopher. He was a professor of mathematics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). A child prodigy, Wiener later became an early researcher in stochastic and mathematical noise processes, contributing work relevant to electronic engineering, electronic communication, and control systems.
In mathematics, the harmonic series is the infinite series formed by summing all positive unit fractions:
In mathematics and signal processing, the Hilbert transform is a specific singular integral that takes a function, u(t) of a real variable and produces another function of a real variable H(u)(t). The Hilbert transform is given by the Cauchy principal value of the convolution with the function (see § Definition). The Hilbert transform has a particularly simple representation in the frequency domain: It imparts a phase shift of ±90° (π⁄2 radians) to every frequency component of a function, the sign of the shift depending on the sign of the frequency (see § Relationship with the Fourier transform). The Hilbert transform is important in signal processing, where it is a component of the analytic representation of a real-valued signal u(t). The Hilbert transform was first introduced by David Hilbert in this setting, to solve a special case of the Riemann–Hilbert problem for analytic functions.
In mathematics, the projective line over a ring is an extension of the concept of projective line over a field. Given a ring A with 1, the projective line P(A) over A consists of points identified by projective coordinates. Let U be the group of units of A; pairs (a, b) and (c, d) from A × A are related when there is a u in U such that ua = c and ub = d. This relation is an equivalence relation. A typical equivalence class is written U[a, b].
In mathematics, singular integrals are central to harmonic analysis and are intimately connected with the study of partial differential equations. Broadly speaking a singular integral is an integral operator
Alexandra Bellow is a Romanian-American mathematician, who has made contributions to the fields of ergodic theory, probability and analysis.
Cameron Leigh Stewart FRSC is a Canadian mathematician. He is a professor of pure mathematics at the University of Waterloo.
Hans Georg Feichtinger is an Austrian mathematician. He is Professor in the mathematical faculty of the University of Vienna. He is editor-in-chief of the Journal of Fourier Analysis and Applications (JFAA) and associate editor to several other journals. He is one of the founders and head of the Numerical Harmonic Analysis Group (NuHAG) at University of Vienna. Today Feichtinger's main field of research is harmonic analysis with a focus on time-frequency analysis.
