A Conference on topics in Mathematical Analysis

The Mathematics Department, Ashoka University is organising a two-day conference on topics in Mathematical Analysis on 18th and 19th December 2019. This is built around a visit to India by Barry Simon, one of the leading figures in mathematical physics and mathematics in the past four decades.

Barry Martin Simon is an American mathematical physicist and the IBM Professor of Mathematics and Theoretical Physics at Caltech, known for his prolific contributions in spectral theory, functional analysis, and nonrelativistic quantum mechanics (particularly Schrödinger operators), including the connections to atomic and molecular physics. He has authored more than 400 publications on mathematics and physics. A description of Professor Simon’s work and influence can be found in articles dedicated to his work in the Notices of the American Mathematical Society. 

The Conference will have about a dozen speakers drawn mainly from institutions in Delhi and the neighbourhood. It is open to everyone.Expected Speakers and Participants
