    Mathematical Communities t’s 2011 and the Association for Women in Mathematics The Association (AWM) is celebrating 40 years of supporting and II promoting female students, teachers, and researchers. It’s a joyous occasion filled with good food, warm for Women conversation, and great mathematics—four plenary lectures and eighteen special sessions. There’s even a song for the conference, titled ‘‘((3 + 1) 9 3 + 1) 9 3 + 1 Anniversary in Mathematics: How of the AWM’’ and sung (robustly!) to the tune of ‘‘This Land is Your Land’’ [ICERM 2011].

Le mathématicien est engagé dans la poursuite d'un rêve sans fin, mais la traduction de ce rêve en formules précises exige un effort extraordinaire. Chaque problème résolu pose de nouvelles questions de plus en plus nombreuses.Mais qui d'en• tre nous ne se surprend pas quelquefois à se poser la question dangereuse : a quoi bon tout cet effort? On a dit que les Mathéma- tiques sont «le bulldozer de la Physique ». Bien que personne ne puisse douter de l'efficacité des Mathématiques dans les appli• cations pratiques, je ne crois pas qu'un mathématicien voie dans cette efficacité la justification de ses efforts car le vrai but de son rêve perpétuel est de comprendre la structure de toute chose».

  • The Works of Charles Ehresmann on Connections: from Cartan
    ********************************** BANACH CENTER PUBLICATIONS, VOLUME 76 INSTITUTE OF MATHEMATICS POLISH ACADEMY OF SCIENCES WARSZAWA 2007 THE WORKS OF CHARLES EHRESMANN ON CONNECTIONS: FROM CARTAN CONNECTIONS TO CONNECTIONS ON FIBRE BUNDLES CHARLES-MICHEL MARLE Institut de Math´ematiques, Universit´ePierre et Marie Curie, 4, place Jussieu, 75252 Paris c´edex 05, France E-mail: [email protected] Abstract. Around 1923, Elie´ Cartan introduced affine connections on manifolds and defined the main related concepts: torsion, curvature, holonomy groups. He discussed applications of these concepts in Classical and Relativistic Mechanics; in particular he explained how parallel transport with respect to a connection can be related to the principle of inertia in Galilean Mechanics and, more generally, can be used to model the motion of a particle in a gravitational field. In subsequent papers, Elie´ Cartan extended these concepts for other types of connections on a manifold: Euclidean, Galilean and Minkowskian connections which can be considered as special types of affine connections, the group of affine transformations of the affine tangent space being replaced by a suitable subgroup; and more generally, conformal and projective connections, associated to a group which is no more a subgroup of the affine group. Around 1950, Charles Ehresmann introduced connections on a fibre bundle and, when the bundle has a Lie group as structure group, connection forms on the associated principal bundle, with values in the Lie algebra of the structure

  • Karl Weierstraß – Zum 200. Geburtstag „Alles Im Leben Kommt Doch Leider Zu Spät“ Reinhard Bölling Universität Potsdam, Institut Für Mathematik Prolog Nunmehr Im 74
    1 Karl Weierstraß – zum 200. Geburtstag „Alles im Leben kommt doch leider zu spät“ Reinhard Bölling Universität Potsdam, Institut für Mathematik Prolog Nunmehr im 74. Lebensjahr stehend, scheint es sehr wahrscheinlich, dass dies mein einziger und letzter Beitrag über Karl Weierstraß für die Mediathek meiner ehemaligen Potsdamer Arbeitsstätte sein dürfte. Deshalb erlaube ich mir, einige persönliche Bemerkungen voranzustellen. Am 9. November 1989 ging die Nachricht von der Öffnung der Berliner Mauer um die Welt. Am Tag darauf schrieb mir mein Freund in Stockholm: „Herzlich willkommen!“ Ich besorgte das damals noch erforderliche Visum in der Botschaft Schwedens und fuhr im Januar 1990 nach Stockholm. Endlich konnte ich das Mittag- Leffler-Institut in Djursholm, im nördlichen Randgebiet Stockholms gelegen, besuchen. Dort befinden sich umfangreiche Teile des Nachlasses von Weierstraß und Kowalewskaja, die von Mittag-Leffler zusammengetragen worden waren. Ich hatte meine Arbeit am Briefwechsel zwischen Weierstraß und Kowalewskaja, die meine erste mathematikhistorische Publikation werden sollte, vom Inhalt her abgeschlossen. Das Manuskript lag in nahezu satzfertiger Form vor und sollte dem Verlag übergeben werden. Geradezu selbstverständlich wäre es für diese Arbeit gewesen, die Archivalien im Mittag-Leffler-Institut zu studieren. Aber auch als Mitarbeiter des Karl-Weierstraß- Institutes für Mathematik in Ostberlin gehörte ich nicht zu denen, die man ins westliche Ausland reisen ließ. – Nun konnte ich mir also endlich einen ersten Überblick über die Archivalien im Mittag-Leffler-Institut verschaffen. Ich studierte in jenen Tagen ohne Unterbrechung von morgens bis abends Schriftstücke, Dokumente usw. aus dem dortigen Archiv, denn mir stand nur eine Woche zur Verfügung. Am zweiten Tag in Djursholm entdeckte ich unter Papieren ganz anderen Inhalts einige lose Blätter, die Kowalewskaja beschrieben hatte.

  • After Ramanujan Left Us– a Stock-Taking Exercise S
    Ref: after-ramanujanls.tex Ver. Ref.: : 20200426a After Ramanujan left us– a stock-taking exercise S. Parthasarathy [email protected] 1 Remembering a giant This article is a sequel to my article on Ramanujan [14]. April 2020 will mark the death centenary of the legendary Indian mathe- matician – Srinivasa Ramanujan (22 December 1887 – 26 April 1920). There will be celebrations of course, but one way to honour Ramanujan would be to do some introspection and stock-taking. This is a short survey of notable achievements and contributions to mathematics by Indian institutions and by Indian mathematicians (born in India) and in the last hundred years since Ramanujan left us. It would be highly unfair to compare the achievements of an individual, Ramanujan, during his short life span (32 years), with the achievements of an entire nation over a century. We should also consider the context in which Ramanujan lived, and the most unfavourable and discouraging situation in which he grew up. We will still attempt a stock-taking, to record how far we have moved after Ramanujan left us. Note : The table below should not be used to compare the relative impor- tance or significance of the contributions listed there. It is impossible to list out the entire galaxy of mathematicians for a whole century. The table below may seem incomplete and may contain some inad- vertant errors. If you notice any major lacunae or omissions, or if you have any suggestions, please let me know at [email protected]. 1 April 1920 – April 2020 Year Name/instit.

  • Math 126 Lecture 4. Basic Facts in Representation Theory
    Math 126 Lecture 4. Basic facts in representation theory. Notice. Definition of a representation of a group. The theory of group representations is the creation of Frobenius: Georg Frobenius lived from 1849 to 1917 Frobenius combined results from the theory of algebraic equations, geometry, and number theory, which led him to the study of abstract groups, the representation theory of groups and the character theory of groups.

Heinrich Maschke 1853 - 1908 Schur’s lemma. Issai Schur Biography of Schur. Issai Schur Born: 10 Jan 1875 in Mogilyov, Mogilyov province, Russian Empire (now Belarus) Died: 10 Jan 1941 in Tel Aviv, Palestine (now Israel) Although Issai Schur was born in Mogilyov on the Dnieper, he spoke German without a trace of an accent, and nobody even guessed that it was not his first language. He went to Latvia at the age of 13 and there he attended the Gymnasium in Libau, now called Liepaja. In 1894 Schur entered the University of Berlin to read mathematics and physics. Frobenius was one of his teachers and he was to greatly influence Schur and later to direct his doctoral studies. Frobenius and Burnside had been the two main founders of the theory of representations of groups as groups of matrices. This theory proved a very powerful tool in the study of groups and Schur was to learn the foundations of this subject from Frobenius.
