  • Herbert Busemann (1905--1994)
    HERBERT BUSEMANN (1905–1994) A BIOGRAPHY FOR HIS SELECTED WORKS EDITION ATHANASE PAPADOPOULOS Herbert Busemann1 was born in Berlin on May 12, 1905 and he died in Santa Ynez, County of Santa Barbara (California) on February 3, 1994, where he used to live. His first paper was published in 1930, and his last one in 1993. He wrote six books, two of which were translated into Russian in the 1960s. Initially, Busemann was not destined for a mathematical career. His father was a very successful businessman who wanted his son to be- come, like him, a businessman. Thus, the young Herbert, after high school (in Frankfurt and Essen), spent two and a half years in business. Several years later, Busemann recalls that he always wanted to study mathematics and describes this period as “two and a half lost years of my life.” Busemann started university in 1925, at the age of 20. Between the years 1925 and 1930, he studied in Munich (one semester in the aca- demic year 1925/26), Paris (the academic year 1927/28) and G¨ottingen (one semester in 1925/26, and the years 1928/1930). He also made two 1Most of the information about Busemann is extracted from the following sources: (1) An interview with Constance Reid, presumably made on April 22, 1973 and kept at the library of the G¨ottingen University.

  • “It Took a Global Conflict”— the Second World War and Probability in British
    Keynames: M. S. Bartlett, D.G. Kendall, stochastic processes, World War II Wordcount: 17,843 words “It took a global conflict”— the Second World War and Probability in British Mathematics John Aldrich Economics Department University of Southampton Southampton SO17 1BJ UK e-mail: [email protected] Abstract In the twentieth century probability became a “respectable” branch of mathematics. This paper describes how in Britain the transformation came after the Second World War and was due largely to David Kendall and Maurice Bartlett who met and worked together in the war and afterwards worked on stochastic processes. Their interests later diverged and, while Bartlett stayed in applied probability, Kendall took an increasingly pure line. March 2020 Probability played no part in a respectable mathematics course, and it took a global conflict to change both British mathematics and D. G. Kendall. Kingman “Obituary: David George Kendall” Introduction In the twentieth century probability is said to have become a “respectable” or “bona fide” branch of mathematics, the transformation occurring at different times in different countries.1 In Britain it came after the Second World War with research on stochastic processes by Maurice Stevenson Bartlett (1910-2002; FRS 1961) and David George Kendall (1918-2007; FRS 1964).2 They also contributed as teachers, especially Kendall who was the “effective beginning of the probability tradition in this country”—his pupils and his pupils’ pupils are “everywhere” reported Bingham (1996: 185). Bartlett and Kendall had full careers—extending beyond retirement in 1975 and ‘85— but I concentrate on the years of setting-up, 1940-55.

    A POISSON LIMIT THEOREM FOR GIBBS-MARKOV MAPS XUAN ZHANG Abstract. We prove for Gibbs-Markov maps that the number of visits to a sequence of shrinking sets with bounded cylindrical lengths converges in distribution to a Poisson law. Applying to continued fractions, this result extends Doeblin’s Poisson limit theorem. 1. Introduction A Poisson limit theorem for continued fractions was proved by Doeblin ([15]) around 1937, which says that the number of certain large partial quotients in a continued fraction expansion converges in distribution to a Poisson law. More precisely, denoting by [a1,a2,...],ai ∈ N, the continued fraction expansion of an irrational number x ∈ (0, 1), Theorem. For every θ> 0, k ∈ N0 lim Leb{x ∈ (0, 1) : there are exactly k ai’s with ai > θn, 1 6 i 6 n} n→∞ 1 1 − 1 = e θ log 2 . (θ log 2)k k! Later Iosifescu ([27]) proved a Poisson limit theorem for ψ-mixing processes, which in particular can be applied to the process {an}n∈N. Treating continued fractions as a symbolic dynamical system, one can rephrase Doeblin’s theorem as a Poisson limit theorem for return times under the Gauss map T : x 7→ {1/x}. Theorem. For every θ> 0, k ∈ N0 n−1 1 1 1 i − θ log 2 lim Leb x ∈ (0, 1) : 1(0, 1 ) ◦ T (x)= k = e . n→∞ [θn]+1 (θ log 2)k k!

  • 1 the Birth of Random Evolutions Reuben Hersh “Random Evolutions” Are Stochastic Linear Dynamical Systems. “Random” Mean
    The birth of random evolutions Reuben Hersh “Random evolutions” are stochastic linear dynamical systems. “Random” means, not just random inputs or initial conditions, but random media—a random process in the equation of state. The theory was born in Albuquerque in the late 60’s, flourished and matured in the 70’s, sprouted a robust daughter in Kiev in the 80’s, and is today a tool or method, applicable in a variety of “real-world” ventures. A year or two after I came to the University of New Mexico, we hired a young probabilist, Richard Griego. Griego took his Ph. D. in Urbana and was well versed in stochastic processes a la Doob. He showed me something I, a p.d.e. specialist, had never heard of at N.Y.U. or Stanford--Brownian motion can solve Laplace's equation or the heat equation! We wrote this up in a popular article for the Scientific American. Probabilistic methods worked for p.d.e.’s of the parabolic or elliptic types. But I was a student of Peter Lax. I had learned to concentrate on hyperbolic equations, like the wave equation. “Can you do it for the hyperbolic case?” I asked. So far as Richard had heard, it seemed you couldn’t. There was a vague impression that Doob had even proved it couldn’t be done. 1 We organized a little seminar, with Bert Koopmans, a statistician, and Nathaniel Friedman, a young ergodicist. (Nat is now a sculptor, and organizer of mathematical art, in Albany, N.Y.) We also had the pleasure of interest on the part of Einar Hille, who had come to New Mexico after retiring from Yale.
