This is a retrospective of some of William Arveson's many contributions to operator theory and operator algebras.

This is an English translation of the obituary notice by Beno Eckmann, appearing in Elemente der Mathematik 47.3 (1992) 118--122 (in German).

This paper contains a case study of the work and self-definition of two important mathematicians during the rise of modern mathematics: Felx Hausdorff (1868--1942) and Hermann Weyl (1885--1955). The two had strongly diverging positions with…

The author describes some of his experiences as a mathematician cooperating with diabetes specialists.

Karl Pearson played an enormous role in determining the content and organization of statistical research in his day, through his research, his teaching, his establishment of laboratories, and his initiation of a vast publishing program. His…

Joseph Polchinski (1954-2018), one of the the leading theoretical physicists of the past 50 years, was an exceptionally broad and deep thinker. He made fundamental contributions to quantum field theory, advancing the role of the…

This paper is part of the lecture given at the TH Division of CERN and devoted to the CXXV anniversary of the birthday of Elie Cartan (1869-1951). It is shown how the methods of differential geometry, due to E. Cartan, were applied to the…

A short biographical note on the life and works of K. Ramachandra, one of the leading mathematicians in the field of analytic number theory in the second half of the twentieth century.

Alan Baker, Fields Medallist, died on 4th February 2018 in Cambridge England after a severe stroke a few days earlier. In 1970 he was awarded the Fields Medal at the International Congress in Nice on the basis of his outstanding work on…

Coleman integrals is a major tool in the explicit arithmetic of algebraic varieties, notably in the study of rational points on curves. One of the inputs to compute Coleman integrals is the availability of an affine model. We develop a…

We give an overview of several of the mathematical works of Gilles Lachaud and provide a historical context. This is interspersed with some personal anecdotes highlighting many facets of his personality.

Karl Stein was one of the pillars of the German school of several complex variables. In this article his scientific contributions are outlined in historical perspective.

The work of L. G. (Laci) Kov\'acs (1936--2013) gave us a deeper understanding of permutation groups, especially in the O'Nan--Scott theory of primitive groups. We review his contribution to this field.

This is a short overview of the origins of distribution theory as well as the life of Sergei Sobolev (1908--1989) and his contribution to the formation of the modern outlook of mathematics.

Building on work by Chabauty from 1941, Coleman proved in 1985 an explicit bound for the number of rational points of a curve $C$ of genus $g\ge 2$ defined over a number field $F$, with Jacobian of rank at most $g-1$. Namely, in the case…

The Arithmetic is interpreted in all the groups of Richard Thompson and Graham Higman, as well as in other groups of piecewise affine permutations of an interval which generalize the groups of Thompson and Higman. In particular, the…

Incomputability as a mathematical notion arose from work of Alan Turing and Alonzo Church in the 1930s. Like Turing himself, it attracted less attention than it deserved beyond the confines of mathematics. Today our experiences in computer…

A.P. Balachandran was a theoretical physicist of extraordinary versatility and originality. In a career spanning over six decades, he made many significant contributions to quantum field theory and mathematical physics. His influence…

Stirling Colgate was a remarkably imaginative physicist, an independent thinker with a wide breadth of interests and contagious enthusiasm, a born leader with enduring drive to attack fundamental problems in science. Among his many…

We dedicate this to the life and work of Robin Hudson -- a mathematical physicist who developed the peerless quantum stochastic calculus, but who also inspired generations of researchers with both his intellect and wit.
