Thomas Berthold Schlumprecht is an American-German mathematician who is known for his contributions to several fields of Analysis, including Functional Analysis, Convex Geometry, and Probability Theory. [1]
Schlumprecht received his Ph.D. degree from Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich in 1988 under the supervision of Prof. Jürgen Batt. [2]
Schlumprecht has been professor of Mathematics at Texas A&M University since 1992. [3] He served as an International editor of the Glasgow Mathematical Journal from 1999 to 2018 [4] and as associate editor for the processing of the American Mathematical Society from 2010 to 2017. [5] He is also an associate editor of Journal of Functional Analysis, since august 2017, [6] and an associate editor of Banach Journal of Mathematical Analysis since September 2018. [7] He is a fellow of the American Mathematical Society since 2016. [8]
In geometry, the convex hull or convex envelope or convex closure of a shape is the smallest convex set that contains it. The convex hull may be defined either as the intersection of all convex sets containing a given subset of a Euclidean space, or equivalently as the set of all convex combinations of points in the subset. For a bounded subset of the plane, the convex hull may be visualized as the shape enclosed by a rubber band stretched around the subset.
In functional analysis, an F-space is a vector space over the real or complex numbers together with a metric such that
In mathematics, especially in functional analysis, the Tsirelson space is the first example of a Banach space in which neither an ℓ p space nor a c0 space can be embedded. The Tsirelson space is reflexive.
In mathematics, specifically functional analysis, a Banach space is said to have the approximation property (AP), if every compact operator is a limit of finite-rank operators. The converse is always true.
Jean Louis, baron Bourgain was a Belgian mathematician. He was awarded the Fields Medal in 1994 in recognition of his work on several core topics of mathematical analysis such as the geometry of Banach spaces, harmonic analysis, ergodic theory and nonlinear partial differential equations from mathematical physics.
Boris Semyonovich Tsirelson was a Russian–Israeli mathematician and Professor of Mathematics at Tel Aviv University in Israel, as well as a Wikipedia editor.
In mathematics, convex geometry is the branch of geometry studying convex sets, mainly in Euclidean space. Convex sets occur naturally in many areas: computational geometry, convex analysis, discrete geometry, functional analysis, geometry of numbers, integral geometry, linear programming, probability theory, game theory, etc.
Vitali Davidovich Milman is a mathematician specializing in analysis. He is a professor at the Tel Aviv University. In the past he was a President of the Israel Mathematical Union and a member of the “Aliyah” committee of Tel Aviv University.
Per H. Enflo is a Swedish mathematician working primarily in functional analysis, a field in which he solved problems that had been considered fundamental. Three of these problems had been open for more than forty years:
In differential geometry, the Carathéodory conjecture is a mathematical conjecture attributed to Constantin Carathéodory by Hans Ludwig Hamburger in a session of the Berlin Mathematical Society in 1924. Carathéodory did publish a paper on a related subject, but never committed the conjecture into writing. In, John Edensor Littlewood mentions the conjecture and Hamburger's contribution as an example of a mathematical claim that is easy to state but difficult to prove. Dirk Struik describes in the formal analogy of the conjecture with the Four Vertex Theorem for plane curves. Modern references to the conjecture are the problem list of Shing-Tung Yau, the books of Marcel Berger, as well as the books.
Herbert Busemann was a German-American mathematician specializing in convex and differential geometry. He is the author of Busemann's theorem in Euclidean geometry and geometric tomography. He was a member of the Royal Danish Academy and a winner of the Lobachevsky Medal (1985), the first American mathematician to receive it. He was also a Fulbright scholar in New Zealand in 1952.
In mathematics — specifically, in functional analysis — an Asplund space or strong differentiability space is a type of well-behaved Banach space. Asplund spaces were introduced in 1968 by the mathematician Edgar Asplund, who was interested in the Fréchet differentiability properties of Lipschitz functions on Banach spaces.
In functional analysis, a branch of mathematics, the distortion problem is to determine by how much one can distort the unit sphere in a given Banach space using an equivalent norm. Specifically, a Banach space X is called λ-distortable if there exists an equivalent norm |x| on X such that, for all infinite-dimensional subspaces Y in X,
In the mathematical field of convex geometry, the Busemann–Petty problem, introduced by Herbert Busemann and Clinton Myers Petty, asks whether it is true that a symmetric convex body with larger central hyperplane sections has larger volume. More precisely, if K, T are symmetric convex bodies in Rn such that
Claude Ambrose Rogers FRS was an English mathematician who worked in analysis and geometry.
Hans Vilhem Rådström (1919–1970) was a Swedish mathematician who worked on complex analysis, continuous groups, convex sets, set-valued analysis, and game theory. From 1952, he was lektor at Stockholm University, and from 1969, he was Professor of Applied Mathematics at Linköping University.
In mathematics, Delta-convergence, or Δ-convergence, is a mode of convergence in metric spaces, weaker than the usual metric convergence, and similar to the weak convergence in Banach spaces. In Hilbert space, Delta-convergence and weak convergence coincide. For a general class of spaces, similarly to weak convergence, every bounded sequence has a Delta-convergent subsequence. Delta convergence was first introduced by Teck-Cheong Lim, and, soon after, under the name of almost convergence, by Tadeusz Kuczumow.
Edward "Ted" Wilfred Odell, Jr. was an American mathematician, specializing in the theory of Banach spaces.
Tadeusz Figiel is a Polish mathematician specializing in functional analysis.
Albert "Tommy" Wilansky was a Canadian-American mathematician, known for introducing Smith numbers.
