KR Parthasarathy ( Kalyanapuram Rangachari Parthasarathy ; born June 25, 1936 in Chennai ) is an Indian mathematician who deals with stochastics.

Life

He studied at Ramakrishna Mission Vivekananda College in Chennai with a bachelor's degree in mathematics and received his doctorate (Some problems in ergodic theory and information theory) in 1962 under CR Rao at the Indian Statistical Institute (ISI) in Calcutta , the first doctoral student at ISI. There he was one of four already outstanding students who did research together at the ISI and were later called the Famous Four (the others were VS Varadarajan , R. Ranga Rao , SR Srinivasa Varadhan ). As a post-doctoral student , he was at the Steklow Institute in Moscow in 1962/63 with Andrei Kolmogorow , who had previously visited India. In Moscow he took part in the seminars of Israel Gelfand and Eugene Dynkin . From 1964 he was Professor of Statistics at the University of Sheffield , 1968 to 1970 at the University of Manchester and then at the University of Nottingham . Back in India, he first went to the University of Mumbai (Bombay) and the Indian Institute of Technology in Delhi before going to the newly founded branch of the ISI in Delhi in 1976, where he built up mathematical statistics and stayed until his retirement in 1996.

With Robin L. Hudson (* 1940) in Manchester and Nottingham he developed a quantum version of the Ito calculus (Quantum Stochastic Calculus). In addition, he dealt with information theory, limit theorems in statistics, Lie groups and probability measures on these, and with the mathematical treatment of quantum mechanics.

In 1977 he won the Shanti Swarup Bhatnagar Prize for Science and Technology.
