Princeton University Alumni
Princeton University is a private research university in Princeton, New Jersey. Founded in 1746 in Elizabeth as the College of New Jersey, Princeton is the fourth-oldest institution of higher education in the United States and one of the nine colonial colleges chartered before the American Revolution. It is one of the highest-ranked universities in the world. The institution moved to Newark in 1747, and then to the current site nine years later. It officially became a university in 1896 and was subsequently renamed Princeton University. It is a member of the Ivy League. The university is governed by the Trustees of Princeton University and has an endowment of $37.7 billion, the largest endowment per student in the United States. Princeton provides undergraduate and graduate instruction in the humanities, social sciences, natural sciences, and engineering to approximately 8,500 students on its main campus. It offers postgraduate degrees through the Princeton School of Publi ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Eric D'Hoker
Eric D’Hoker (born 18 October 1956 in Belgium) is a Belgian-American theoretical physicist. Biography D’Hoker studied from 1974 to 1975 at Paris 13 University in Orsay, from 1975 to 1976 at the Lycée Condorcet, and from 1976 to 1978 at the École Polytechnique. In 1978 he became a graduate student in physics at Princeton University, where in 1981 he received his Ph.D. with future Nobel Laureate David Gross as his advisor.

Pseudo-differential Operator
In mathematical analysis a pseudo-differential operator is an extension of the concept of differential operator. Pseudo-differential operators are used extensively in the theory of partial differential equations and quantum field theory, e.g. in mathematical models that include ultrametric pseudo-differential equations in a non-Archimedean space. History The study of pseudo-differential operators began in the mid 1960s with the work of Kohn, Nirenberg, Hörmander, Unterberger and Bokobza. They played an influential role in the second proof of the Atiyah–Singer index theorem via K-theory. Atiyah and Singer thanked Hörmander for assistance with understanding the theory of pseudo-differential operators. Motivation Linear differential operators with constant coefficients Consider a linear differential operator with constant coefficients, : P(D) := \sum_\alpha a_\alpha \, D^\alpha which acts on smooth functions u with compact support in R''n''. This operator can be wri ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Stefan Bergman Prize
The Stefan Bergman Prize is a mathematics award, funded by the estate of the widow of mathematician Stefan Bergman and supported by the American Mathematical Society. The award is granted for mathematical research in: "1) the theory of the kernel function and its applications in real and complex analysis; or 2) function-theoretic methods in the theory of partial differential equations of elliptic type with attention to Bergman's operator method." The award is given in honor of Stefan Bergman, a mathematician known for his work on complex analysis. Recipients of the prize are selected by a committee of judges appointed by the American Mathematical Society. The monetary value of the prize is variable and based on the income from the prize fund; in 2005 the award was valued at approximately $17,000. Laureates * 1989 David W. Catlin * 1991 Steven R.

Frédéric Pham
Frédéric Pham (born 17 November 1938 in Saigon) is a Vietnamese-French mathematician and mathematical physicist. He is known for the Brieskorn-Pham manifolds (explicit examples of exotic spheres). Education and career Pham studied from 1957 to 1959 at the École polytechnique. From 1961 to 1969 he worked at Saclay Nuclear Research Centre, where he developed his doctoral thesis. In addition, during those years, he attended the seminar conducted by René Thom at the Institut des Hautes Études Scientifiques (IHES). In 1969 Pham received his Ph.D. with supervisor Raymond Stora from Saclay with thesis ''Singularités des processus de diffusion multiple''. He became in 1970 a professor at the University of Nice Sophia Antipolis and retired there in 2001 as professor emeritus. He was a visiting professor in Hanoi for the academic year 1979–1980. He was a frequent visitor at the Institut Fourier in Grenoble. His research deals with analytic singularities of Feynman integrals, Landau ...
