We give a survey on eta invariants including methods of computation and applications in differential topology.
We discuss the legacy of Alan Turing and his impact on computability and analysis.
Professor Alan Selman has been a giant in the field of computational complexity for the past forty years. This article is an appreciation, on the occasion of his retirement, of some of the most lovely concepts and results that Alan has…
In the first part of this paper I will describe my work together with Lars and in the second part I will give a look at some of Lars's oldest papers.
This Festschrift is dedicated to Peter Thiemann on the occasion of his sixtieth birthday, celebrating his significant contributions to the field of programming languages. Over the span of more than three decades, Peter has worked on a wide…
Contributed paper to the Conference "Francesco's Legacy: Star Formation in Space and Time", in memory of Francesco Palla (1954-2016), held in Florence, June 5-9, 2017
We give a brief survey on aspects of the local index theory as developed from the mathematical works of V. K. Patodi. It is dedicated to the 70th anniversary of Patodi.
Invited contribution to the inaugural issue of {\em Physics Educator.}
Due to the standard electroweak model we have become accustomed to think about a neutrino $\nu$ and its antineutrino $\bar \nu$ as distinct particles. However, it has long been recognized that the apparent distinction between them may be…
We report on the life and work of F. Wiener, whom we confused with N. Wiener in a previous article.
This is a tribute to honor Stefan U. Egelhaaf (1963-2023), a pioneer in experimental soft condensed matter physics.
In this paper we present some key moments in the history of Morita equivalence for operator algebras.
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…
This is an expository article, written for a special edition of the journal of the UMA (Union Matematica Argentina) commemorating the mathematician Misha Cotlar. The article gives an introduction to the n-homology groups and surveys some…
We present an overview of some significant results of Thurston and their impact on mathematics. The final version of this paper will appear as Chapter 1 of the book "In the tradition of Thurston: Geometry and topology", edited by K. Ohshika…
In the article we give an appreciation of Edward Nelson's multifaceted contribution to mathematics, and particularly to foundational theories of infinitesimals.
We discuss some subtleties in connection with the new attempts to provide a firm basis for ths Witten-Veneziano formula.
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…
Ettore Majorana (1906-1938) disappeared while traveling by ship from Palermo to Naples in 1938. His fate has never been fully resolved and several articles have been written that explore the mystery itself. His demise intrigues us still…
This paper is a criticism on "A Mathematician's Apology" by G. H. Hardy.
