Bhama Srinivasan

Bhama Srinivasan (born April 22, 1935 in Madras ) is an Indian-American mathematician who deals with the representation theory of groups.

Srinivasan studied at the University of Madras and received his doctorate in 1960 with JA Green at the University of Manchester on the modular representations introduced by Richard Brauer ( Problems of modular representations of finite groups ). She then went to the University of Keele , the University of British Columbia and the Ramanujan Institute at the University of Madras. From 1970 to 1979 she taught at Clark University in the USA before becoming a professor at the University of Illinois in Chicago in 1980 . In 1977 she became a US citizen.

She examined representations of finite reducible groups, especially following the upheaval of the area (using methods of algebraic geometry) in the 1970s by George Lusztig l-modular representations of finite classical groups. She also examined applications of representation theory of finite groups in combinatorics, for example for symmetric functions. Sometimes she worked with Paul Fong.

From 1981 to 1983 she was president of the Association for Women in Mathematics . In 1990 she was a Noether Lecturer . She is a Fellow of the American Mathematical Society .
