In November 2014 Alexander Grothendieck passed away at the age of 86. There is no doubt that he was one of the greatest and most innovative mathematicians of the 20th century. After a bitter childhood, his meteoric ascent started in the…
In this note we will present a supplement to Scholz's reciprocity law and discuss applications to the structure of 2-class groups of quadratic number fields.
This article presents two constructions motivated by a conjecture of L. van den Dries and C. Miller concerning the restricted analytic field with exponentiation. The first construction provides an example of two o-minimal expansions of a…
This is a review of recent results on conformal (super)algebras. It may be viewed as an amplification of my Wigner medal acceptance speech (given in July 1996 in Goslar, Germany) reproduced in the introduction.
We consider certain Littlewood-Paley square functions on $\Bbb R^2$ and prove sharp estimates for them, from which we can deduce $L^p$ boundedness of maximal functions defined by Fourier multipliers of Bochner-Riesz type on $\Bbb R^2$. This…
A translation and discussion of G. Luders, Ann. Phys. (Leipzig) 8 322-328 (1951).
We prove local Strichartz estimates on compact manifolds with boundary. Our results also apply more generally to compact manifolds with Lipschitz metrics.
In this paper I present a brief survey of the active area of Special Functions associated with Root Systems. The article is intended for a general mathematical audience. It will not suppose prerequisites on either special functions or root…
An obituary of J.R. Dorfman. The focus is on his scientific career and on his many important publications.
These lecture notes are based on three lectures, each ninety minutes long, given by the author at the "International School on Strings and Fundamental Physics" which took place in Garching/Munich from July 25 to August 6, 2010. These…
Certain rearrangement inequalities of a type considered by Hardy, Riesz, and Brascamp-Lieb-Luttinger are studied. Subsets of the real line that extremize these inequalities are characterized. Our results apply only to special cases, and…
Proceedings contribution to Symposium in Memory of Prof. E. Anastassakis, Publ. Center of Technical University of Athens (2002). (contains no abstract).
We give upper bounds for the level and the Pythagoras number of function fields over fraction fields of integral Henselian excellent local rings. In particular, we show that the Pythagoras number of $\mathbb{R}((x_1,\dots,x_n))$ is $\leq…
The goal of this modern presentation, followed by an English translation from the German, is to make available some parts of Lie's very systematic mathematical thought which deserve to join the contemporary literature, and above all also,…
The paper is written for Kluwer's Encyclopaedia of Mathematics.
We discuss the mean values of multiplicative functions over function fields. In particular, we adapt the authors' new proof of Halasz's theorem on mean values to this simpler setting. Several of the technical difficulties that arise over…
Mathematical oncology is an interdisciplinary research field where the mathematical sciences meet cancer research. Being situated at the intersection of these two fields makes mathematical oncology highly dynamic, as practicing researchers…
A review is given of some mathematical contributions, ideas and questions concerning liquid crystals.
We survey the classical results of the Dirichlet Approximation Theorem.
This paper is the first of a series of introductory papers on the fascinating world of Soergel bimodules. It is combinatorial in nature and should be accessible to a broad audience. The objective of this paper is to help the reader feel…
