Life and career

Zalcman was born in Kansas City, Missouri on June 9, 1943.[6] In 1961, he graduated from Southwest High School in Kansas City, Missouri before continuing his education at Dartmouth College, where he would graduate in 1964.[6] Zalcman went on to receive his Ph.D. from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1968 under the supervision of Kenneth Myron Hoffman.[7] In 2012, Zalcman became a fellow of the American Mathematical Society.[8]

In the theory of normal families, Zalcman's Lemma, which he used as part of his treatment of Bloch's principle, is named after him.[9] Other eponymous honors are Zalcman domains, which play a role in the classification of Riemann surfaces, and Zalcman functions in complex dynamics. In the theory of partial differential equations, the Pizzetti-Zalcman formula is partially named after him.[10]

Lawrence Zalcman died in Jerusalem on May 31, 2022.[6]
