Aryeh Dvoretzky

Aryeh Dvoretzky (Hebrew: אריה דבורצקי; Russian: Арье Дворецкий; May 3, 1916 in Khorol (Ukraine ); † May 8, 2008 in Jerusalem ( Israel) ) was an Israeli mathematician born in Ukraine.

The Dvoretzky family moved in 1922 to Palestine (now Israel) above. His degree in mathematics, he received in 1937 at the then still young Hebrew University of Jerusalem. There he received his doctorate in 1941 with Michael Fekete and 1951 appointed professor. He was Dean of the Faculty of Science (1955-1956), Vice- President of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem (1959-1961), President of the Israel Academy of Sciences (1974-1980) and president of the Weizmann Institute of Science (1986-1989).

Dvoretzkys main areas of work were the analysis and convexity, but he also wrote works on probability theory. The 1950 published set of Dvoretzky - Rogers is one of the starting points of modern Banach space theory. Important, for even 10 years later published set of Dvoretzky on the finite presentability of every infinite-dimensional Banach space.

1973 Israel Prize he was awarded. In 1970 he was invited speaker at the International Congress of Mathematicians in Nice ( Central limit theorems for dependent random variables). Among his students Branko Grunbaum and Joram Lindenstrauss.
