Thiruvenkatachari Parthasarathy (29 February 1940 - 22 September 2023), known and published as T. Parthasarathy, was an Indian game theorist and mathematician.
He co-authored a book on game theory with T. E. S. Raghavan, [1] [2] and two research monographs, one on optimization [3] and one on univalence theory [4] , published by Springer-Verlag. He was a former president of the Indian Mathematical Society.
He received his B.Sc and M.Sc degrees from University of Madras. He worked on the topic of "Minimax Theorems and Product solutions for simple games" under the guidance of C. R. Rao and received his PhD in 1967 from the Indian Statistical Institute, Kolkata. He delivered many lectures and seminars at University of Madras, Indian Statistical Institute, and Chennai Mathematical Institute. On the list of his scientific publication since 1965 there are more that 90 positions. [5] [6] [7] He promoted PhDs students. [8]
Parthasarathy received Shanti Swaroop Bhatnagar Award for Mathematical Sciences (1986). He was elected as Fellow of the Indian Academy of Sciences (1988) and Indian National Science Academy (1995).
He died on September 22, 2023, at the age of 83 at his Chennai residence.
Srinivasa Ramanujan Aiyangar (22 December 1887 – 26 April 1920) was an Indian mathematician. Often regarded as one of the greatest mathematicians of all time, though he had almost no formal training in pure mathematics, he made substantial contributions to mathematical analysis, number theory, infinite series, and continued fractions, including solutions to mathematical problems then considered unsolvable.
Jacques Tits was a Belgian-born French mathematician who worked on group theory and incidence geometry. He introduced Tits buildings, the Tits alternative, the Tits group, and the Tits metric.
Jean-Marie Souriau was a French mathematician. He was one of the pioneers of modern symplectic geometry.
Ludwig Georg Elias Moses Bieberbach was a German mathematician and leading representative of National Socialist German mathematics.
Marshall Harvey Stone was an American mathematician who contributed to real analysis, functional analysis, topology and the study of Boolean algebras.
zbMATHOpen, formerly Zentralblatt MATH, is a major reviewing service providing reviews and abstracts for articles in pure and applied mathematics, produced by the Berlin office of FIZ Karlsruhe – Leibniz Institute for Information Infrastructure GmbH. Editors are the European Mathematical Society, FIZ Karlsruhe, and the Heidelberg Academy of Sciences. zbMATH is distributed by Springer Science+Business Media. It uses the Mathematics Subject Classification codes for organising reviews by topic.
Hans Adolph Rademacher was a German-born American mathematician, known for work in mathematical analysis and number theory.
Czesław Ryll-Nardzewski was a Polish mathematician.
Michel Pierre Talagrand is a French mathematician working in probability theory, functional analysis and mathematical physics. Doctor of Science since 1977, he has been, since 1985, directeur de recherches at CNRS and a member of the Functional Analysis Team of the Institut de mathématiques de Jussieu in Paris. Talagrand was also a faculty member at The Ohio State University for more than fifteen years. Talagrand was elected as correspondent of the Académie des sciences of Paris in March 1997, and then as a full member in November 2004, in the Mathematics section. In 2024, Talagrand received the Abel Prize.
Marcel Berger was a French mathematician, doyen of French differential geometry, and a former director of the Institut des Hautes Études Scientifiques (IHÉS), France.
Kalyanapuram Rangachari Parthasarathy was an Indian statistician who was professor emeritus at the Indian Statistical Institute and a pioneer of quantum stochastic calculus. Parthasarathy was the recipient of the Shanti Swarup Bhatnagar Prize for Science and Technology in Mathematical Science in 1977 and the TWAS Prize in 1996.
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.
Sundararaman Ramanan is an Indian mathematician who works in the area of algebraic geometry, moduli spaces and Lie groups. He is one of India's leading mathematicians and recognised as an expert in algebraic geometry, especially in the area of moduli problems. He has also worked in differential geometry: his joint paper with MS Narasimhan on universal connections has been influential. It enabled SS Chern and B Simons to introduce what is known as the Chern-Simons invariant, which has proved useful in theoretical physics.
Res Jost was a Swiss theoretical physicist, who worked mainly in constructive quantum field theory.
In algebraic geometry, standard monomial theory describes the sections of a line bundle over a generalized flag variety or Schubert variety of a reductive algebraic group by giving an explicit basis of elements called standard monomials. Many of the results have been extended to Kac–Moody algebras and their groups.
Klaus D. Schmidt is an Austrian mathematician and retired professor at the Faculty of Mathematics, University of Vienna.
Mark Lee Green is an American mathematician, who does research in commutative algebra, algebraic geometry, Hodge theory, differential geometry, and the theory of several complex variables. He is known for Green's Conjecture on syzygies of canonical curves.
Sergio Doplicher is an Italian mathematical physicist, who mainly dealt with the mathematical foundations of quantum field theory and quantum gravity.
Leonid Isakovich Manevitch was a Soviet and Russian physicist, mechanical engineer, and mathematician. He made fundamental contributions to areas of nonlinear dynamics, composite and polymer physics, and asymptotology.
Martin Schlichenmaier is a German - Luxembourgish mathematician whose research deals with algebraic, geometric and analytic mathematical methods which partly have relations to theoretical and mathematical physics.
