Linda Rothschild
Linda Preiss Rothschild (born February 28, 1945 in Philadelphia , Pennsylvania ) is an American mathematician who works on Lie groups and various areas of analysis, especially the theory of the functions of several complex variables.
Rothschild's parents ran a fur business in Philadelphia. She studied at the University of Pennsylvania , where she graduated magna cum laude in 1966. Since she was rejected from Princeton University on the grounds that only men would be admitted to the doctorate, she received her doctorate at MIT in 1970 with the dissertation On the Adjoint Action of a Real Semisimple Lie Group , where she received a National Scholarship from 1966 Science Foundation studied. 1970 to 1972 she was at the AI-Lab of MIT and at the same time assistant professor at Tufts University , 1972 to 1974 at Columbia University , 1974/75 at the Institute for Advanced Study (where she was also 1978 and 1981/82) and 1975/76 Visiting Assistant Professor at Princeton University. In 1976 she became an Associate Professor at the University of Wisconsin – Madison , where she became a professor in 1979. She has been a professor at the University of California at San Diego since 1983 .
She worked on partial differential equations on Lie groups, harmonic analysis, and the geometry of real hypersurfaces in the theory of several complex variables. She published many publications together with her husband Mohammed Salah Baouendi , who is also a math professor at the University of California in San Diego.
From 1976 to 1980 she was a Sloan Research Fellow . In 2003 she and Mohammed Salah Baouendi received the Stefan Bergman Prize of the AMS , of which she is a fellow. From 1983 to 1985 she was President of the Association for Women in Mathematics . From 1985 to 1987 she was Vice President of the AMS. In 1997 she gave the Noether Lecture (“How do real submanifolds live in complex space?”). In 2005 she was elected to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences . In 2006 she was invited speaker at the International Congress of Mathematicians in Madrid ( Iterated Segre maps of real submanifolds in complex space and applications ).
