Nicholas Theodore Varopoulos (Greek : Νικόλαος Βαρόπουλος, Nikolaos Varopoulos, also Nicolas Varopoulos; born 16 June 1940) is a Greek mathematician, who works on harmonic analysis and especially analysis on Lie groups.

Contents

Varopoulos is the son of the Thessaloniki mathematics professor Theodore Varopoulos (1894–1957)[ citation needed ]. Nicholas Varopoulos received his PhD in 1965 from Cambridge University under John Hunter Williamson. [1] There he was in 1965 a lecturer in mathematics. In the academic year 1966–1967 he was at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, New Jersey. Varopoulos became a professor at the Université Pierre et Marie Curie (Université Paris VI).

In 1968 Varopoulos became the first recipient of the Salem Prize. In 1990 he was an invited speaker at the International Congress of Mathematicians in Kyoto (Analysis and geometry on groups) and in 1970 in Nice (Groupes des fonctions continues en analyse harmoniques). His doctoral students include Thomas William Körner and Laurent Saloff-Coste.

In harmonic analysis in mathematics, a function of bounded mean oscillation, also known as a BMO function, is a real-valued function whose mean oscillation is bounded (finite). The space of functions of bounded mean oscillation (BMO), is a function space that, in some precise sense, plays the same role in the theory of Hardy spaces Hp that the space L of essentially bounded functions plays in the theory of Lp-spaces: it is also called John–Nirenberg space, after Fritz John and Louis Nirenberg who introduced and studied it for the first time.

The history of representation theory concerns the mathematical development of the study of objects in abstract algebra, notably groups, by describing these objects more concretely, particularly using matrices and linear algebra. In some ways, representation theory predates the mathematical objects it studies: for example, permutation groups and transformation groups were studied long before the notion of an abstract group was formalized by Arthur Cayley in 1854. Thus, in the history of algebra, there was a process in which, first, mathematical objects were abstracted, and then the more abstract algebraic objects were realized or represented in terms of the more concrete ones, using homomorphisms, actions and modules.
