John B. Conway

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

John Bligh Conway (born September 22, 1939 in New Orleans , Louisiana ) is an American mathematician who deals with analysis and especially functional analysis .

Conway graduated from Loyola University with a bachelor's degree in 1961 and received his doctorate from Heron Collins at Louisiana State University in 1965 ( The strict topology and compactness in the space of measures ). He was then a professor at Indiana University in Bloomington and from 1990 he was a professor at the University of Tennessee , where he headed the mathematics faculty.

He was visiting professor at the Free University of Amsterdam (1972), at the University of Berkeley (1986) and the University of Grenoble (1981).

He deals with restricted operators on Hilbert spaces , especially in connection with analytic functions and applications in function theory . In particular, he dealt with subnormal operators ; H. Restrictions of normal operators on invariant subspaces of a Hilbert space. He wrote a function theory textbook that is widely used in the United States.
