Lipa's Legacy Edited by: and Linda Keen City University of New York, New York City Description The mathematical works of Lars Ahlfors and Lipman Bers are fundamental and lasting. They have influenced and altered the development of twentieth century mathematics. The personalities of these two scientists helped create a mathematical family and have had a permanent positive effect on a whole generation of mathematicians. Their mathematical heritage continues to lead succeeding generations. In the fall of 1994, one year after Bers' death, some members of this family decided to inaugurate a series of conferences, The Bers Colloquium , to be held every three years. The theme was to be a topic in the Ahlfors-Bers mathematical tradition, broadly interpreted. Ahlfors died a year after the first colloquium; future colloquia in this series will be called The Ahlfors-Bers Colloquium Features: Twenty-seven very high-level papers on related topics Open problems Expository articles Contents W. Abikoff and T. Ye Computing the Douady-Earle extension

Latvia had been under Russian imperial rule since the 18th century so World War I meant that there were evacuations from Riga.

BIOGRAPHICAL MEMOIRS National Academy of Sciences Courtesy of Victor Bers Lipman Bers By Irwin Kra and Hyman Bass INTRODUCTION L IPMAN BERS WAS BORN in Riga, Latvia, on 22 May 1914 into a secular intellectual Jewish family. At the time of his death, in New Rochelle, New York on 29 October 1993, he was the focal point of a large extended group of scientistsmostly mathematicians, many former doctoral students with whom he maintained close and continuous ties for decades. His friends and colleagues knew him as "Lipa." His life was a twentieth-century Jewish and intellectual odyssey. He had close encounters with fascism and Stalinism. In an irrational world he approached all issues through his intellect. He was born in Europe on the brink of revolutionary changes. He died in America after several tyrannies had come and gone. He started as a Bundist with strong anti-nationalist leanings, but over the years he grew increasingly fond of Israel. He opposed nuclear armaments as if there were no cold war; he fought tyranny as if this struggle had no arms control implications. He played an important role in American scientific politics. He made important and lasting contributions to both mathematics and the protection of human rights. He was never afraid to take strong moral positions, even from platforms of official leadership, yet he was pragmatic and effective. His optimism and good humor remained unflagging. Above all, he was a mathematician, and in whatever subfields of the subject he worked, he did complex analysis. All that he did, he did with style.

At this time Europe was a place of extreme politics and, in 1934, Latvia became ruled by a dictator. Lipa wrote for an underground newspaper criticising the dictator. A warrant was issued for his arrest and, just in time, he escaped to Prague. His girl friend Mary followed him to Prague where they married. Lipa's doctorate was obtained from Prague where he studied at the Charles University under Karl Loewner and wrote a thesis on potential theory in 1938. In 1938 Czechoslovakia became an impossible country for someone of Jewish background, so Lipa fled to Paris. However, the war followed him and soon the Nazi armies began occupying France. Lipa applied for a visa to the USA and, while waiting to obtain permission, he wrote two papers on Green 's functions and integral representations. Just days before Paris surrendered to the advancing armies, Lipa and his family moved from Paris.
