Nonselfadjoint Operator Algebras, Operator Theory, and Related Topics: The Carl M. Pearcy Anniversary Volume

by H. Bercovicii (Editor), Ciprian I. Foias (Editor)

Overview

This volume, dedicated to Carl Pearcy on the occasion of his 60th birthday, presents recent results in operator theory, nonselfadjoint operator algebras, measure theory and the theory of moments. The articles on these subjects have been contributed by leading area experts, many of whom were associated with Carl Pearcy as students or collaborators. The book testifies to his multifaceted interests and includes a biographical sketch and a list of publications.
