Dear Friends,
The Department of Mathematical Sciences of Kent State
University is planning a Conference to Celebrate the Life and Work
of Vladimir Gurariy. The meeting will take place on
Friday-Saturday, March 10-11, 2006.
There will be several components to this meeting which will
only be able to touch on the contributions, in so many different
areas, that Vladimir made. In particular, speakers at the meeting
will include Per Enflo (Kent), Wolfgang Lusky (Paderborn), Mikhail
Ostrovskii (New York), Peter Sarnak (Princeton), and Juan Seoane
(Kent). We anticipate several other speakers, and we also invite
participants to offer talks at this meeting. In addition, there
will be a concert on Friday evening featuring performances of
piano and vocal music composed by Vladimir.
It will be a great help to the organizers if people could
let us know of their intended participation. With thanks and best
wishes,
Richard Aron (aron(a)math.kent.edu), Joe Diestel
(j_diestel(a)hotmail.com), Per Enflo (enflo(a)math.kent.edu), Victor
Lomonosov (lomonoso(a)math.kent.edu), Andrew Tonge
(tonge(a)math.kent.edu), and Artem Zvavitch
(zvavitch(a)math.kent.edu).
