Elias Menachem Stein (January 13, 1931 – December 23, 2018) was an American mathematician who was a leading figure in the field of harmonic analysis. He was the Albert Baldwin Dod Professor of Mathematics, Emeritus, at Princeton University, where he was a faculty member from 1963 until his death in 2018.
Biography
Stein was born in Antwerp Belgium, to Elkan Stein and Chana Goldman,
MIT
in 1955, moved to the University of Chicago in 1958 as an assistant professor, and in 1963 became a full professor at Princeton.
Stein worked primarily in the field of
almost everywhere convergence
is equivalent to the boundedness of
a semisimple groups, the Cotlar–Stein lemma concerning the sum of almost orthogonal operators, and the Fefferman–Stein theory of the Hardy space
and the space of functions of bounded mean oscillation.
He wrote numerous books on harmonic analysis (see e.g. [1,3,5]), which are often cited as the standard references on the subject. His Fields medalists Charles Fefferman and Terence Tao—some of whom went on to shape modern Fourier analysis.
His honors included the
National Academy of Sciences. Stein was elected as a member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in 1982.[3] In 2005, Stein was awarded the Stefan Bergman prize in recognition of his contributions in real, complex, and harmonic analysis. In 2012 he became a fellow of the American Mathematical Society.[4]
Personal life
In 1959, he married Elly Intrator,Tim Geithner and Lawrence Summers, and served on the Federal Reserve Board of Governors from 2012 to 2014. Elias Stein died of complications of lymphoma in 2018, aged 87.[6]
