Daya-Nand Verma
Daya-Nand Verma (born June 25, 1933 in Varanasi , † June 10, 2012 in Mumbai ) was an Indian mathematician who dealt with representation theory of Lie algebras .
Verma received her PhD from Yale University in 1966 with Nathan Jacobson ( Structure of some induced representations of complex semisimple Lie algebras ). In it he introduced representations of Lie algebras, later known as Verma modules. In 1967/68 he was at the Institute for Advanced Study . From 1968 he was at the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research in Mumbai, where he stayed for the rest of his career, apart from visiting professorships in the USA and Europe. In 1994 he retired.
