The Royal School of Naval Engineering, "Muhendishane-i Bahr-i Humayun", was established in 1773 with the responsibility to educate chart masters and ship builders. Gaining university status in 1928, the Engineering Academy continued to provide education in the fields of engineering and architecture and, in 1946, Istanbul Technical University became an autonomous university which included the Faculties of Architecture, Civil Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, and Electrical and Electronic Engineering.

  • Cahit Arf: Exploring His Scientific Influence Using Social Network Analysis and Author Co-Citation Maps
    Cahit Arf: Exploring His Scientific Influence Using Social Network Analysis and Author Co-citation Maps 1 2 Yaşar Tonta and A. Esra Özkan Çelik 1 [email protected] Department of Information Management, Hacettepe University, 06800 Beytepe, Ankara, TR 2 [email protected] Registrar's Office, Hacettepe University, 06800 Beytepe, Ankara, TR Abstract Cahit Arf (1910-1997), a famous Turkish scientist whose picture is depicted in one of the Turkish banknotes, is a well known figure in mathematics with his discoveries named after him (e.g., Arf invariant, Arf rings, the Hasse- Arf theorem). Although Arf may not be considered as a prolific scientist in terms of number of papers (he authored a total of 23 papers), his influence on mathematics and related disciplines was profound. As he was active before, during and after the World War II, Arf’s contributions were not properly listed in citation indexes and thus did not generate that many citations even though several papers with “Arf” in their titles appeared in the literature. This paper traces the influence of Arf in scientific world using citation analysis techniques first. It reviews the scientific impact of Arf by analyzing both the papers authored by Arf and papers whose titles or keywords contain various combinations of “Arf rings”, “Arf invariant”, and so on. The paper then goes on to study Arf’s contributions using social network analysis and author co-citation analysis techniques. CiteSpace and pennant diagrams are used to explore the scientific impact of Arf by mapping his cited references derived from Thomson Reuters’ Web of Science (WoS) database.

  • Shtukas for Reductive Groups and Langlands Correspondence for Functions Fields
    SHTUKAS FOR REDUCTIVE GROUPS AND LANGLANDS CORRESPONDENCE FOR FUNCTIONS FIELDS VINCENT LAFFORGUE This text gives an introduction to the Langlands correspondence for function fields and in particular to some recent works in this subject. We begin with a short historical account (all notions used below are recalled in the text). The Langlands correspondence [49] is a conjecture of utmost impor- tance, concerning global fields, i.e. number fields and function fields. Many excellent surveys are available, for example [39, 14, 13, 79, 31, 5]. The Langlands correspondence belongs to a huge system of conjectures (Langlands functoriality, Grothendieck’s vision of motives, special val- ues of L-functions, Ramanujan-Petersson conjecture, generalized Rie- mann hypothesis). This system has a remarkable deepness and logical coherence and many cases of these conjectures have already been es- tablished. Moreover the Langlands correspondence over function fields admits a geometrization, the “geometric Langlands program”, which is related to conformal field theory in Theoretical Physics. Let G be a connected reductive group over a global field F . For the sake of simplicity we assume G is split. The Langlands correspondence relates two fundamental objects, of very different nature, whose definition will be recalled later, • the automorphic forms for G, • the global Langlands parameters , i.e. the conjugacy classes of morphisms from the Galois group Gal(F =F ) to the Langlands b dual group G(Q`). b For G = GL1 we have G = GL1 and this is class field theory, which describes the abelianization of Gal(F =F ) (one particular case of it for Q is the law of quadratic reciprocity, which dates back to Euler, Legendre and Gauss).

In Simply Riemann he combines both talents to give us clear and accessible insights into the astonishing discoveries of Bernhard Riemann—a brilliant but enigmatic mathematician who laid the foundations for several major areas of today’s mathematics, and for Albert Einstein’s General Theory of Relativity.Readable, organized—and simple. Highly recommended.” —Ian Stewart, Emeritus Professor of Mathematics at Warwick University and author of Significant Figures “Very few mathematicians have exercised an influence on the later development of their science comparable to Riemann’s whose work reshaped whole fields and created new ones.

  • On the Stability Conjecture for Geodesic Flows of Manifolds Without
    Annales Henri Lebesgue 4 (2021) 759-784 LUDOVICRIFFORD RAFAELRUGGIERO ONTHESTABILITY CONJECTUREFORGEODESIC FLOWSOFMANIFOLDSWITHOUT CONJUGATE POINTS SURLACONJECTUREDELASTABILITÉ POURLESFLOTSGÉODÉSIQUESSANS POINTSCONJUGUÉS Abstract. — We study the C2-structural stability conjecture from Mañé’s viewpoint for geodesics flows of compact manifolds without conjugate points. The structural stability conjecture is an open problem in the category of geodesic flows because the C1 closing lemma is not known in this context. Without the C1 closing lemma, we combine the geometry of manifolds without conjugate points and a recent version of Franks’ Lemma from Mañé’s viewpoint to prove the conjecture for compact surfaces, for compact three dimensional manifolds with quasi-convex universal coverings where geodesic rays diverge, and for n-dimensional, generalized rank one manifolds. Keywords: Geodesic flow, structural stability, closing lemma, conjugate points, quasi-convex space, Gromov hyperbolic space. 2020 Mathematics Subject Classification: 37C20, 37D40, 53C22, 20F65.

La conjecture de stabilité en topologie C1 pour les flots géodésiques est un problème ouvert car le C1-Closing Lemma n’est pas connu dans ce contexte. Sans Closing Lemma, nous démontrons que la théorie des variétés sans points conjugués et une version récente du Lemme de Franks du point de vue de Mañé permettent d’obtenir une réponse positive à la conjecture dans le cas des variétés compactes sans points conjugués de dimension 2 et 3 ayant un revêtement universel quasi-convexe avec des rayons géodésiques divergents, ainsi que pour les variétés de dimension n de rank un généralisées.

Gilles Pisier Amenability, Group C ∗-algebras and Operator spaces (WEP and LLP for C ∗(G)) C ∗-algebras A C ∗-algebra is a closed self-adjoint subalgebra A ⊂ B(H) of the space of bounded operators on a Hilbert space H An operator space is a (closed) subspace E ⊂ A of a C ∗-algebra I will restrict to unital C ∗-algebras The norm on the ∗-algebra A satisfies 8x; y 2 A kxyk ≤ kxkkyk kxk = kx∗k kx∗xk = kxk2 Such norms are called C ∗-norms After completion (or if A is already complete): there is a unique C ∗-norm on A Gilles Pisier Amenability, Group C ∗-algebras and Operator spaces (WEP and LLP for C ∗(G)) Then any such A can be written as A = span[π(G)] for some discrete group G and some unitary representation π : G ! B(H) of G on H Typical operator space E = span[π(S)] S ⊂ G Throughout I will restrict to discrete groups Gilles Pisier Amenability, Group C ∗-algebras and Operator spaces (WEP and LLP for C ∗(G)) Tensor products On the algebraic tensor product (BEFORE completion) A ⊗ B there is a minimal and a maximal C ∗-norm denoted by k kmin and k kmax and in general k kmin ≤6= k kmax C ∗-norms 8x; y 2 A kxyk ≤ kxkkyk kxk = kx∗k kx∗xk = kxk2 Gilles Pisier Amenability, Group C ∗-algebras and Operator spaces (WEP and LLP for C ∗(G)) Nuclear pairs Let A; B be C ∗-algebras Definition The pair (A; B) is said to be a nuclear pair if the minimal and maximal C ∗-norms coincide on the algebraic tensor product A ⊗ B, in other words A ⊗min B = A ⊗max B Definition A C ∗-algebra A is called nuclear if this holds for ANY B Gilles Pisier Amenability, Group C ∗-algebras and Operator spaces (WEP and LLP for C ∗(G)) Let A1 = span[π(G1)] ⊂ B(H1) A2 = span[π(G2)] ⊂ B(H2) for some unitary rep.
