    Annual Report 2005-2006

    CORNELL UNIVERSITY DEPARTMENT OF MATHEMATICS ANNUAL REPORT 2005–2006 The Department of Mathematics at Cornell University is known throughout the world for its distinguished faculty and stimulating mathematical atmosphere. Close to 40 tenured and tenure-track faculty represent a broad spectrum of current mathematical research, with a lively group of postdoctoral fellows and frequent research and teaching visitors. The graduate program includes over 70 graduate students from many different countries. The undergraduate program includes several math major programs, and the department offers a wide selection of courses for all types of users of mathematics. A private endowed university and the federal land-grant institution of New York State, Cornell is a member of the Ivy League and a partner of the State University of New York. There are approximately 19,500 students at Cornell’s Ithaca campus enrolled in seven undergraduate units and four graduate and professional units. Nearly 14,000 of those students are undergraduates, and most of those take at least one math course during their time at Cornell. The Mathematics Department is part of the College of Arts and Sciences, a community of 6,000 students and faculty in 50 departments and programs, encompassing the humanities, sciences, mathematics, fine arts, and social sciences. We are located in Malott Hall, in the center of the Cornell campus, atop a hill between two spectacular gorges that run down to Cayuga Lake in the beautiful Finger Lakes region of New York State.

This recording was made in March 1977 by Evar Nering at his apartment in Scottsdale, Arizona. Tucker: I have recently received the tapes that Speed made and find that these tapes carried my history up to approximately 1938. So the plan is to continue the history. In the late '30s I was working in combinatorial topology with not a great deal of results to show. I guess I was really more interested in my teaching. I had an opportunity to teach an undergraduate course in topology, combinatorial topology that is, classification of 2-dimensional surfaces and that sort of thing.

    Obituary Notices Ronald Drayton Brown

    Obituary notices Ronald Drayton Brown Died 31 October 2008, elected to Fellowship 1965 Ronald Drayton (Ron) Brown was born in Melbourne on 14 October 1927. He grew up as an only child in modest suburban circumstances in Prahran and did not come from a scientific or academic background. His father had achieved some distinction in amateur athletics. His secondary education was at Wesley College, to which he had won a scholarship. He excelled in mathematics and physics and was an interested reader of astronomy books. He was dux of the school in his final year and was awarded an exhibition in physics in the Victorian matriculation examinations. In his first undergraduate year at the University of Melbourne, he majored in physics and chemistry. In second year he dropped Ron Brown physics, despite scoring better results than in chemistry. While completing a chemistry major he also informally attended the lectures in third year physics and mathematics, without completing the examinations, ending up with an effective triple major for his BSc in 1946. In the days before it was possible to do a PhD anywhere in Australia, Ron began his research career as an MSc student in the Department of Chemistry at the University of Melbourne with Dr Francis Lahey as supervisor. His thesis topic was alkaloid products from Australian plants, particularly Acronychia baueri. He had chosen this project because it would involve some organic chemistry and some spectroscopy. He was attracted by the relationships between the structure of organic compounds and their spectra, and the use of these ideas in deducing the structure of newly isolated compounds.

    Strong converse for the classical capacity of entanglement-breaking and Hadamard channels via a sandwiched R´enyi relative entropy Mark M. Wilde∗ Andreas Winter†‡ Dong Yang†§ May 23, 2014 Abstract A strong converse theorem for the classical capacity of a quantum channel states that the probability of correctly decoding a classical message converges exponentially fast to zero in the limit of many channel uses if the rate of communication exceeds the classical capacity of the channel. Along with a corresponding achievability statement for rates below the capacity, such a strong converse theorem enhances our understanding of the capacity as a very sharp dividing line between achievable and unachievable rates of communication. Here, we show that such a strong converse theorem holds for the classical capacity of all entanglement-breaking channels and all Hadamard channels (the complementary channels of the former). These results follow by bounding the success probability in terms of a “sandwiched” R´enyi relative entropy, by showing that this quantity is subadditive for all entanglement-breaking and Hadamard channels, and by relating this quantity to the Holevo capacity. Prior results regarding strong converse theorems for particular covariant channels emerge as a special case of our results. 1 Introduction One of the most fundamental tasks in quantum information theory is the transmission of classical data over many independent uses of a quantum channel, such that, for a fixed rate of communica- tion, the error probability of the transmission decreases to zero in the limit of many channel uses. The maximum rate at which this is possible for a given channel is known as the classical capacity of the channel.

Biographical Memoirs, VOLUME 82 PUBLISHED 2002 BY THE NATIONAL ACADEMY PRESS WASHINGTON, D.C. JACOB WOLFOWITZ March 19, 1910–July 16, 1981 BY SHELEMYAHU ZACKS ACOB WOLFOWITZ, A GIANT among the founders of modern Jstatistics, will always be remembered for his originality, deep thinking, clear mind, excellence in teaching, and vast contributions to statistical and information sciences. I met Wolfowitz for the first time in 1957, when he spent a sab- batical year at the Technion, Israel Institute of Technology. I was at the time a graduate student and a statistician at the building research station of the Technion. I had read papers of Wald and Wolfowitz before, and for me the meeting with Wolfowitz was a great opportunity to associate with a great scholar who was very kind to me and most helpful. I took his class at the Technion on statistical decision theory. Outside the classroom we used to spend time together over a cup of coffee or in his office discussing statistical problems. He gave me a lot of his time, as though I was his student. His advice on the correct approach to the theory of statistics accompanied my development as statistician for many years to come. Later we kept in touch, mostly by correspondence and in meetings of the Institute of Mathematical Statistics. I saw him the last time in his office at the University of Southern Florida in Tampa, where he spent the last years 3 4 BIOGRAPHICAL MEMOIRS of his life.

    Annual Report 2016–17 Australia’s innovation catalyst CSIRO, in partnership with Deakin University, launched Australia’s first carbon fibre production facility. Carbon fibre is a low weight product with high rigidity, tensile strength and chemical resistance that is used in aerospace, civil engineering, cars, health and the military. Successful collaborations like this demonstrate how the Australian research sector can accelerate research, lead innovation and expand job opportunities in the country. About this report This annual report is a summary of CSIRO’s activities and financial position for the 12-month period ended 30 June 2017. In this report, unless otherwise stated, references to the ‘organisation’, ‘we’, ‘us’ and ‘our’ refer to CSIRO as a whole. In this report, references to a year are to the financial year ended 30 June 2017, unless otherwise stated. It is also available at: www.csiro.au/annualreport2017. COVER: Nanomaterials, like the carbon nanotubes illustrustrated on the front cover, are extremely small chemicals, millionths of a millimetre in size. They come in many forms each with unique mechanical, electronic and optical properties. Through the development of new products and processes, nanotechnology will potentially contribute solutions to major challenges facing Australia in the electronic, energy and environmental sectors.
