Indian-American Math Genius Nikhil Srivastava Among 3 To Solve Famous 1959 Problem, Win Prize

Washington:

Eminent Indian-American mathematician Nikhil Srivastava, who teaches on the College of California, Berkeley, has been collectively chosen for the inaugural Ciprian Foias Prize in Operator Principle by American Mathematical Society (AMS).

Together with Nikhil Srivastava, the 2 different awardees are Adam Marcus and Daniel Spielman. Adam Marcus holds the Chair of Combinatorial Evaluation on the Ecole Polytechnique Federale de Lausanne (EPFL) in Switzerland. Daniel Spielman is Sterling Professor of Pc Science, a professor of statistics and information science, and a professor of arithmetic.

The award recognises their extremely authentic work that launched and developed strategies for understanding the attribute polynomial of matrices, specifically the iterative sparsification methodology (additionally in collaboration with Batson) and the strategy of interlacing polynomials, a media launch stated.

“Collectively, these concepts offered a robust toolkit with many functions, notably within the trio’s breakthrough paper “Interlacing households II: blended attribute polynomials and the Kadison-Singer drawback” (Annals of Arithmetic, 2015), which solves the well-known “paving drawback” in operator idea, formulated by Richard Kadison and Isadore Singer in 1959,” American Mathematical Society stated.

In a joint assertion, the three awardees stated they want to settle for it on behalf of the many individuals whose work contributed to the decision of the Kadison-Singer drawback.

“Our involvement was the ultimate chapter of an incredible story we hope will encourage comparable options to troublesome issues sooner or later,” they stated.

The prize can be introduced to Professor Nikhil Srivastava and his colleagues on January 5 subsequent 12 months on the 2022 Joint Arithmetic Assembly in Seattle, described as “the most important arithmetic gathering on the planet.”

The Ciprian Foias Prize is the third main prize gained by Nikhil Srivastava, who earlier collectively gained the George Polya Prize in 2014, and the Held prize in 2021.
