In 1983, Lusztig defined a map $\sigma$ from affine permutations of $n$ to partitions of $n$. He conjectured that for any partition $\lambda$ of $n$, $\sigma^{-1}(\lambda)$ is a two-sided cell. Shi, in 1986, proved part of this conjecture.…
A retrospective of Martin Schwarzschild's work on galaxy dynamics.
This is a survey of Berezin's work focused on three topics: representation theory, general concept of quantization, and supermathematics.
This paper traces the seminal roles that physicists and mathematicians have played in the conceptual development of the biological sciences in the past, and especially in the 19th and 20th centuries.
This article appeared in the September 2024 issue (Vol. 31, No. 3) of the Bulletin of the International Society for Bayesian Analysis (ISBA).
Interview with Hyman Bass, whose mathematical life has spanned seven decades.
The present paper gives an account for the general mathematical reader of the life and work of Martin Davis. Since two rather comprehensive autobiographical accounts and two long biographical interviews already exist, the present work…
We introduce a methodology to analyze citation metrics across fields of Mathematics. We use this methodology to collect and analyze the MathSciNet profiles of Full Professors of Mathematics at all 131 R1, research oriented US universities.…
In this paper I describe the early development of the so-called mathematical biophysics, as conceived by Nicolas Rashevsky back in the 1920's, as well as his latter idealization of a "relational biology". I also underline that the creation…
This paper is a brief overview of the main contributions of Masaki Kashiwara in the domain of microlocal and algebraic analysis.
This text is based on an invited talk at the Dedekind Symposium at Braunschweig in October 2016. It summarizes views from my recent commented edition of Dedekinds two books on the foundations of mathematics.
The paper is dedicated to the memory of prominent theoretical physicist and mathematician Dr. Vadim Kuznetsov who worked, in particular, in the fields of the nonlinear dynamics, separation of variables, integrability theory, special…
It's hard to imagine human life in the digital and AI age without polynomials because they are everywhere but mostly invisible to ordinary people: in data trends, on computer screens, in the shapes around us, and in the very fabric of…
This is an exposition of the contributions of L\'aszl\'o Lov\'asz to mathematics and computer science written on the occasion of the bestowal of the Abel Prize~2021 to him. Our survey, of course, cannot be exhaustive. We sketch remarkable…
The 150th anniversary of the birth of the outstanding Russian mathematician Vladimir Andreevich Steklov falls on January 9, 2014. In this paper (it is a part of survey to be published in January 2014), we describe advances in one of several…

This is an introductory article to the theory of multiple gaps.
Remarks at the Irving Kaplansky Memorial about a collaboration during the early period of the renewal of contacts between mathematicians and theoretical physicists.
This article contains the introduction to the special volume of Stochastics dedicated to Priscilla Greenwood, her CV and her list of publications.
The authors provide a survey of certain aspects of their joint work with the late M. K. Vamanamurthy. Most of the results are simple to state and deal with special functions, a topic of research where S. Ramanujan's contributions are…
