Peter Larkin Duren (born April 30, 1935 in New Orleans , Louisiana ) is an American mathematician who deals with analysis .

Duren graduated from Harvard University with a bachelor's degree in 1956 and received his doctorate in 1960 from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology with Gian-Carlo Rota ( Spectral theory of a class of non-selfadjoint infinite matrix operators ). As a post-graduate student , he was an instructor at Stanford University . In 1962 he became assistant professor , 1966 associate professor and 1969 professor at the University of Michigan , where he retired in 2010.

He was at the Institute for Advanced Study in 1968/69 , visiting professor at the Technion in Haifa in 1975 , visiting scholar at Imperial College and the University of Paris-Süd in Orsay in 1964/65, visiting professor at the University of Maryland in 1982 and at Mittag-Leffler- Institute , the University of Paris-South and at the ETH Zurich .

In 1976/77 he was editor of the Michigan Mathematical Journal. He was co-editor of the American Mathematical Monthly and a commemorative publication for Frederick Gehring .

Duren is known from various monographs and textbooks. He deals with function theory and functional analysis, including Hardy spaces , simple functions, harmonic mappings in the plane, geometric function theory, potential theory, special functions.

From 1964 to 1966 he was a Sloan Research Fellow . In 2012 he became a Fellow of the American Mathematical Society .
