UCSD adds mathematics laureate to its faculty By Bruce Lieberman STAFF WRITER November 20, 2002 Efim Zelmanov, a former Yale University mathematics professor and the 1994 recipient of the prestigious Fields Medal, has joined the mathematics faculty at UCSD. Zelmanov received the medal, the equivalent of a Nobel Prize for mathematics, in 1994 for solving the Restricted Burnside Problem, a fundamental algebraic question related to group theory. Group theory is an abstract language that mathematicians invented to analyze symmetry, one of the most basic concepts of nature. "Zelmanov is one of the top mathematicians in the world, and he will play an important role in furthering the international reputation and tradition of excellence of UCSD's mathematics department," said James Bunch, chairman of the university's mathematics department. "He is also an outstanding teacher, and I expect him to be an exceptional role model for our students," Bunch said. Zelmanov, who began teaching this fall and is being officially welcomed this month, said he was drawn to the University of California San Diego for its growing mathematics department and the university's other academic programs. "The university is very much science-and technology-oriented," he said.

June 29, 2001 Volume 29, Number 33 Four-Week Issue Six faculty members honored with election to NAS Six Yale researchers were recently elected to the prestigious National Academy of Sciences for distinguished and continued achievements in original research. Peter Cresswell. Cresswell's research centers on the molecular mechanisms of antigen processing, a phenomenon in which fragments of proteins from viruses, bacteria and other disease-causing organisms bind to the MHC molecules on human cells during an infection. These molecules are recognized by T Lymphocytes and are critical for making effective immune responses to infectious agents. Dr. Pietro V. De Camilli. De Camilli's research focuses on the function of synapses, the specialized structures of the nervous system where signals are transmitted from one neuron to another. His studies have advanced knowledge of the mechanism of neurotransmitter secretion and also provided new insight into fundamental mechanisms through which all cells secrete substances and take up material from the extracellular media. He was also elected to the American Academy of Art and Sciences this year. Dr. Richard P. Lifton.

Burnside Problem: This problem asks whether, for fixed d and n, the group B (d,n) having d generators and in which every element satisfies x n = 1 is finite. It is really easy to show that B(d,2) is finite. Burnside himself showed that B (d,3) is finite. Sanov showed B (d,4) is finite and Marshall Hall showed B (d, 6) is finite. Restricted Burnside Problem: By the 1930s no real progress had been made on either of these problems and the Restricted Burnside problem was formulated (and so named by Magnus). It asks whether, for fixed d and n, there is a largest finite d generator group in

Más artículos de reflexiones MATEMÁTICOS DE NUESTRO TIEMPO (y 4) La matemática actual tiene abiertos fecundos campos de un gran interés. Los grandes matemáticos de la segunda mitad del siglo XX y hasta nuestros días intentan el desarrollo de una matemática acorde con el tiempo en que vivimos, capaz de afrontar el reto que representa la tendencia social tanto como el progreso de las necesidades computacionales de las nuevas ingenierías o el avance vertiginoso de algunas disciplinas como la Astrofísica y la Computación Teórica. Mostramos aqui algunas referencias a su trabajo, utilizando diversas fuentes de datos, entre las que podemos destacar, por su excelente documentación, la base de datos de la Universidad de St. Andrews, Escocia. Es una somera indicación del quehacer en la disciplina de matemáticos de extraordinaria calidad, que nacieron en los últimos años de la década de los 50, ya durante la fase álgida de la Guerra Fría. Damos por terminada aquí, con esto cinco nombres punteros en la matemática actual, a esta pequeña serie de cuatro capítulos, reconociendo sin embargo que aunque son grandes matemáticos todos los que en ella están, no están todos los que son actualmente la élite del quehacer en la disciplina. Esperamos poder ofrecer, en la siguiente actualización de la Web, un nuevo artículo sobre la Medalla Fields del año pasado, 2002, y los dos nuevos grandes matematicos que la consiguieron.

In addition, one member was elected posthumously. The election was held this morning during the business session of the 138th annual meeting of the Academy. Election to membership in the Academy is considered one of the highest honors that can be accorded a U.S. scientist or engineer. Those elected today bring the total number of active members to 1,874. Foreign associates are nonvoting members of the Academy, with citizenship outside the United States. Today's election brings the total number of foreign associates to 325. The National Academy of Sciences is a private organization of scientists and engineers dedicated to the furtherance of science and its use for the general welfare. It was established in 1863 by a congressional act of incorporation, signed by Abraham Lincoln, that calls on the Academy to act as an official adviser to the federal government, upon request, in any matter of science or technology.

WORDS AT THE OPENING CEREMONY OF THE ICM 94 ON THE FIELDS MEDALS by David Mumford I would like to thank our Swiss hosts very warmly for organizing so flawlessly and for giving us such a beautiful locale for the 1994 ICM. I am here as the chairman of the Fields Medal Committee for this Congress, whose other members are: Luis Caffarelli Masaki Kashiwara Barry Mazur Alexander Schrijver Dennis Sullivan Jacques Tits S.R.S. Varadhan I should add that we consulted many others in making our decisions. As the committee compiled lists of names of candidates and their accomplishments, we found ourselves both pleased and awed by the great fecundity of recent mathematics, and by the great number of possible candidates representing a great number of areas of mathematical research. What to me it the most miraculous aspect of our field is that it is growing in so many directions: limbs sprout new growth and new shoots go off in unexpected dimensions. There is growth by deep and subtle proofs of old problems, and by the discovery and exploration of wholly new phenomena with new models. Our response to this is to try to reward excellence in as many areas as possible. Fields himself realized that at least two medals were needed "because of the multiplicity of the branches of mathematics" and, as you know, this has grown to three or four medals. With at most four, we have to make quite a few very painful choices. Fields also said in his 1932 memorandum on the Medals: "It is understood that in making the awards, while it was in recognition of work already done, it was at the same time intended to be an encouragement for further achievements on the part of the recipients and a stimulus to renewed effort on the part of others... with a view to encouraging furter development along these lines".

In addition, the academy posthumously elected Leonard Mandel, a professor emeritus of physics and optics at the University of Rochester. (Mandel died on 9 February 2001, 6 days after an NAS class membership committee had put his name on the ballot.) Another 15 foreign researchers from 10 countries were chosen to become "associates" of the NAS. The academy now has 325 of these nonvoting members.
