Mathematics Genealogy Project
The Mathematics Genealogy Project (MGP) is a web-based database for the academic genealogy of mathematicians.. By 31 December 2021, it contained information on 274,575 mathematical scientists who contributed to research-level mathematics. For a typical mathematician, the project entry includes graduation year, thesis title (in its Mathematics Subject Classification), '' alma mater'', doctoral advisor, and doctoral students.. Origin of the database The project grew out of founder Harry Coonce's desire to know the name of his advisor's advisor.. Coonce was Professor of Mathematics at Minnesota State University, Mankato, at the time of the project's founding, and the project went online there in fall 1997.Mulcahy, Colm;The Mathematics Genealogy Project Comes of Age at Twenty-one(PDF) AMS Notices (May 2017) Coonce retired from Mankato in 1999, and in fall 2002 the university decided that it would no longer support the project.

Journal Für Die Reine Und Angewandte Mathematik
''Crelle's Journal'', or just ''Crelle'', is the common name for a mathematics journal, the ''Journal für die reine und angewandte Mathematik'' (in English: ''Journal for Pure and Applied Mathematics''). History The journal was founded by August Leopold Crelle (Berlin) in 1826 and edited by him until his death in 1855. It was one of the first major mathematical journals that was not a proceedings of an academy. It has published many notable papers, including works of Niels Henrik Abel, Georg Cantor, Gotthold Eisenstein, Carl Friedrich Gauss and Otto Hesse. It was edited by Carl Wilhelm Borchardt from 1856 to 1880, during which time it was known as ''Borchardt's Journal''. The current editor-in-chief is Rainer Weissauer (Ruprecht-Karls-Universität Heidelberg) Past editors * 1826–1856 August Leopold Crelle * 1856–1880 Carl Wilhelm Borchardt * 1881–1888 Leopold Kronecker, Karl Weierstrass * 1889–1892 Leopold Kronecker * 1892–1902 Lazarus Fuchs * 1903–1928 Kurt Hens ...

Kummer Sum
In mathematics, Kummer sum is the name given to certain cubic Gauss sums for a prime modulus ''p'', with ''p'' congruent to 1 modulo 3. They are named after Ernst Kummer, who made a conjecture about the statistical properties of their arguments, as complex numbers. These sums were known and used before Kummer, in the theory of cyclotomy. Definition A Kummer sum is therefore a finite sum :\sum \chi(r)e(r/p) = G(\chi) taken over ''r'' modulo ''p'', where χ is a Dirichlet character taking values in the cube roots of unity, and where ''e''(''x'') is the exponential function exp(2π''ix''). Given ''p'' of the required form, there are two such characters, together with the trivial character. The cubic exponential sum ''K''(''n'',''p'') defined by :K(n,p)=\sum_^p e(nx^3/p) is easily seen to be a linear combination of the Kummer sums. In fact it is 3''P'' where ''P'' is one of the Gaussian periods for the subgroup of index 3 in the residues mod ''p'', under multiplication, while the G ...

Roger Heath-Brown
David Rodney "Roger" Heath-Brown FRS (born 12 October 1952), is a British mathematician working in the field of analytic number theory. Education He was an undergraduate and graduate student of Trinity College, Cambridge; his research supervisor was Alan Baker. Career and research In 1979 he moved to the University of Oxford, where from 1999 he held a professorship in pure mathematics. He retired in 2016. Heath-Brown is known for many striking results. He proved that there are infinitely many prime numbers of the form ''x''3 + 2''y''3. In collaboration with S. J. Patterson in 1978 he proved the Kummer conjecture on cubic Gauss sums in its equidistribution form. He has applied Burgess's method on character sums to the ranks of elliptic curves in families. He proved that every non-singular cubic form over the rational numbers in at least ten variables represents 0. Heath-Brown also showed that Linnik's constant is less than or equal to 5.5. More recently, Heath ...

Exponential Sum
In mathematics, an exponential sum may be a finite Fourier series (i.e. a trigonometric polynomial), or other finite sum formed using the exponential function, usually expressed by means of the function :e(x) = \exp(2\pi ix).\, Therefore, a typical exponential sum may take the form :\sum_n e(x_n), summed over a finite sequence of real numbers ''x''''n''. Formulation If we allow some real coefficients ''a''''n'', to get the form :\sum_n a_n e(x_n) it is the same as allowing exponents that are complex numbers. Both forms are certainly useful in applications. A large part of twentieth century analytic number theory was devoted to finding good estimates for these sums, a trend started by basic work of Hermann Weyl in diophantine approximation. Estimates The main thrust of the subject is that a sum :S=\sum_n e(x_n) is ''trivially'' estimated by the number ''N'' of terms. That is, the absolute value :, S, \le N\, by the triangle inequality, since each summand has absolute va ...

Theta Function
In mathematics, theta functions are special functions of several complex variables. They show up in many topics, including Abelian varieties, moduli spaces, quadratic forms, and solitons. As Grassmann algebras, they appear in quantum field theory. The most common form of theta function is that occurring in the theory of elliptic functions. With respect to one of the complex variables (conventionally called ), a theta function has a property expressing its behavior with respect to the addition of a period of the associated elliptic functions, making it a quasiperiodic function. In the abstract theory this quasiperiodicity comes from the cohomology class of a line bundle on a complex torus, a condition of descent. One interpretation of theta functions when dealing with the heat equation is that "a theta function is a special function that describes the evolution of temperature on a segment domain subject to certain boundary conditions". Throughout this article, (e^)^ should b ...

Metaplectic Group
In mathematics, the metaplectic group Mp2''n'' is a double cover of the symplectic group Sp2''n''. It can be defined over either real or ''p''-adic numbers. The construction covers more generally the case of an arbitrary local or finite field, and even the ring of adeles. The metaplectic group has a particularly significant infinite-dimensional linear representation, the Weil representation. It was used by André Weil to give a representation-theoretic interpretation of theta functions, and is important in the theory of modular forms of half-integral weight and the theta correspondence. Definition The fundamental group of the symplectic Lie group Sp2n(R) is infinite cyclic, so it has a unique connected double cover, which is denoted Mp2''n''(R) and called the metaplectic group. The metaplectic group Mp2(R) is ''not'' a matrix group: it has no faithful finite-dimensional representations. Therefore, the question of its explicit realization is nontrivial. It has faithful ir ...

Atle Selberg
Atle Selberg (14 June 1917 – 6 August 2007) was a Norwegian mathematician known for his work in analytic number theory and the theory of automorphic forms, and in particular for bringing them into relation with spectral theory. He was awarded the Fields Medal in 1950 and an honorary Abel Prize in 2002. Early years Selberg was born in Langesund, Norway, the son of teacher Anna Kristina Selberg and mathematician Ole Michael Ludvigsen Selberg. Two of his three brothers, Sigmund and Henrik, were also mathematicians. His other brother, Arne, was a professor of engineering. While he was still at school he was influenced by the work of Srinivasa Ramanujan and he found an exact analytical formula for the partition function as suggested by the works of Ramanujan; however, this result was first published by Hans Rademacher. During the war he fought against the German invasion of Norway, and was imprisoned several times. He studied at the University of Oslo and completed his PhD in ...
