In committing ourselves to study and work at Stony Brook, we agree to promote equality, civility, caring, responsibility, accountability, and respect. We also recognize the importance of understanding and appreciating our differences and similarities. As members of a respectful community, we will not encroach on the rights of others, either as individuals or as groups. We recognize that freedom of expression and opinion entails an obligation to listen to and understand the beliefs and opinions of others, and to treat others fairly. We strive to be a responsible community. We are accountable individually for our personal behavior and development, and collectively for the welfare of the community itself. We encourage all Stony Brook community members to celebrate and express pride in our community’s academic, athletic, and social accomplishments, and to involve themselves in the surrounding local communities. In affirming this statement, we commit ourselves to becoming dedicated, active, and full members of Stony Brook University in each and every role we assume. —Year of Community Initiative A Message from the Provost raduate school can be one of the most exciting and interdisciplinary interactions.

    Ravi's Speech at the Banquet

    Speech at the Conference on Conformal Geometry and Riemann Surfaces October 27, 2013 Ravi S. Kulkarni October 29, 2013 1 Greetings I am very happy today. I did not know that so many people loved me enough to gather at Queens College to wish me a healthy, long, and productive life over and above the 71 years I have already lived. It includes my teacher Shlomo Sternberg, present here on skype, and my \almost"-teachers Hyman Bass, and Cliff Earle. Alex Lubotzky came from Israel, Ulrich Pinkall from Germany, and Shiga from Japan. If I have counted correctly there are 14 people among the speakers who are above 65, and 5 below 65, of which only 3 in their 30s to 50s. There are many more in the audience who are in their 50s and below. I interpret this as: we old people have done something right. And of course that something right, is that we have done mathematics. The conference of this type is new for the Math department at Queens College, although it had many distinguished mathematicians like Arthur Sard, Leo Zippin, Banesh Hoffman, Edwin Moise, ... before, on its faculty. I find this Conference especially gratifying since I already went back to In- dia in 2001, enjoyed several leaves without pay, and finally retired from Queens College, in Feb 2008. However I keep coming back to Queens college and Grad- uate Center twice a year and enjoy my emeritus positions with all the office and library/computer advantages. For a long time, I felt that people here thought that I was an Indian in America.

The Department works in three main interlinked areas: (i) it compiles, generates and analyses a wide range of economic, social and environmental data and information on which Member States of the United Nations draw to review common problems and to take stock of policy options; (ii) it facilitates the negotiations of Member States in many intergovernmental bodies on joint courses of action to address ongoing or emerging global challenges; and (iii) it advises interested Governments on the ways and means of translating policy frameworks developed in United Nations conferences and summits into programmes at the country level and, through technical assistance, helps build national capacities.

  • Algebra + Homotopy = Operad

    Algebra + Homotopy = Operad

    Symplectic, Poisson and Noncommutative Geometry MSRI Publications Volume 62, 2014 Algebra + homotopy = operad BRUNO VALLETTE “If I could only understand the beautiful consequences following from the concise proposition d 2 0.” —Henri Cartan D This survey provides an elementary introduction to operads and to their ap- plications in homotopical algebra. The aim is to explain how the notion of an operad was prompted by the necessity to have an algebraic object which encodes higher homotopies. We try to show how universal this theory is by giving many applications in algebra, geometry, topology, and mathematical physics. (This text is accessible to any student knowing what tensor products, chain complexes, and categories are.) Introduction 229 1. When algebra meets homotopy 230 2. Operads 239 3. Operadic syzygies 253 4. Homotopy transfer theorem 272 Conclusion 283 Acknowledgements 284 References 284 Introduction Galois explained to us that operations acting on the solutions of algebraic equa- tions are mathematical objects as well. The notion of an operad was created in order to have a well defined mathematical object which encodes “operations”. Its name is a portemanteau word, coming from the contraction of the words “operations” and “monad”, because an operad can be defined as a monad encoding operations. The introduction of this notion was prompted in the 60’s, by the necessity of working with higher operations made up of higher homotopies appearing in algebraic topology. Algebra is the study of algebraic structures with respect to isomorphisms. Given two isomorphic vector spaces and one algebra structure on one of them, 229 230 BRUNO VALLETTE one can always define, by means of transfer, an algebra structure on the other space such that these two algebra structures become isomorphic.
