Venue Statistics and Mathematics Unit Indian Statistical Institute, Bangalore Center Bangalore, India
The objectives of this conference are to honor the distinguished career Professor Kalyan Bidhan Sinha (KBS) and to bring together leading experts and young researchers in the field of linear analysis to discuss recent developments and applications of functional analysis and operator algebras. In the process, it will celebrate the 75th birthday of Professor Kalyan Bidhan Sinha and his mathematical influence.
The initial field of research of KBS was the subject of scattering theory and Schrodinger operators. His lecture notes (jointly with W. O. Amrein and J. M. Jauch) is indispensible for researchers in this area. He continues to be active in this topic.
KBS was the pioneer of the new area called noncommutative geometry (NCG) a la Connes in India. Also along with K R Parthasarathy, KBS lead a school of quantum probability in ISI New Delhi. They wrote a series of papers and also guided several students. In addition invited top researchers in the field to ISI for short and long term visits. This firmly established India as one of the major centers for quantum probability. Currently he is the president of the Association for Quantum Probability and Infinite Dimensional Analysis (AQPIDA) and affiliated with JNCASR and IISc.
We anticipate an exciting gathering of former and current students, collaborators, colleagues, and friends of KBS.
