Professor Kalyan Bidhan Sinha ( KBS) is turning 75 this year. He influenced quite a few mathematicians and mathematical physicists in his distinguished career since his return to india in the late 1970's. To celebrate this occasion and to bring together leading experts and young researchers in these fields of analysis, functional analysis, operator algebras and their interfaces with probability and geometry, we are planning a conference during 12-14 December, 2019.
KBS worked in Quantum Field Theory during his doctoral studies, and after that on the Spectral Theory of Schrodinger operators, for several years in Geneva, Switzerland. His book on the Mathematical theory of Scattering in Quantum Mechanics (with W.O.Amrein and J.M. Jauch ) is a classic. While continuing his work on Spectral theory, KBS became interested in the then young subject of Quantum Probability, under the influence of Professor K.R. Parthasarathy at the Delhi Centre of ISI. They collaborated extensively, writing a series of pioneering papers, guided several students, wrote books on the subject. Many distinguished researchers in these areas, from all over the world, visited the Delhi Centre of ISI regularly, firmly establishing it as one of the major centres of quantum probability. Later, KBS got interested in the area of non- commutative geometry, trace formulae in operator theory and along with a few of his students, introduced these new areas in India . At present, Professor Kalyan Bidhan Sinha is a (honorary) professor and SERB-Distinguished Fellow at JNCASR, Bangalore, a member of the National Mathematics Initiative (NMI), I.I.Sc., Bangalore and an Emeritus Professor, ISI.
We anticipate an exciting gathering of former and current students, collaborators, colleagues, and friends of KBS.
