I NSTITUTE for ADVANCED STUDY 2006–2007 FACULTY AND MEMBERS PRINCETON • NEW JERSEY I NSTITUTE FOR ADVANCED STUDY Since its founding, the Institute has maintained a policy of non-discrimination. It is fundamental in our purpose, and our express desire, that in the appointments to the staff and faculty, as well as in the admission of workers and students, no account shall be taken, directly or indirectly, of race, religion, or sex. We feel strongly that the spirit characteristic of America at its noblest, above all the pursuit of higher learning, cannot admit of any conditions as to personnel other than those designed to pro- mote the objects for which this institution is established, and particularly with no regard whatever to accidents of race, creed, or sex. —Louis Bamberger and Caroline Bamberger Fuld, in a letter, dated June 4, 1930, to the Institute’s Trustees. 2 I NSTITUTE FOR ADVANCED STUDY CONTENTS Institute Mission and History . 4 School of Historical Studies . 6 School of Mathematics . 24 School of Natural Sciences . 43 School of Social Science . 58 Program in Interdisciplinary Studies . 68 Artist-in-Residence Program . 70 Director’s Visitors . 71 Trustees and Officers of the Board and of the Corporation . 72 Administration . 76 Past Directors and Faculty . 79 Index . 80 3 I NSTITUTE FOR ADVANCED STUDY INSTITUTE FOR ADVANCED STUDY MISSION AND HISTORY The Institute for Advanced Study is one of the world’s leading centers for theoretical research and intellectual inquiry.

We feel strongly that the spirit characteristic of America at its noblest, above all the pursuit of higher learning, cannot admit of any conditions as to personnel other than those designed to promote the objects for which this institution is established, and particularly with no regard whatever to accidents of race, creed, or sex. Extract from the letter addressed by the Institute’s Founders, Louis Bamberger and Caroline Bamberger Fuld, to the first Board of Trustees, dated June 4, 1930. Newark, New Jersey The Institute for Advanced Study exists to encourage and support fundamental research in the sciences and humanities—the original, often speculative, thinking that produces advances in knowledge that change the way we understand the world. THE SCHOOL OF HISTORICAL STUDIES, established in 1949 with the merging of the School of Economics and Politics and the School of Humanistic Studies, is concerned principally with the history of Western European, Near Eastern, and East Asian civilizations. The School actively promotes interdisciplinary research and cross-fertilization of ideas. THE SCHOOL OF MATHEMATICS, established in 1933, was the first School at the Institute for Advanced Study.
