Raghavan Narasimhan

Raghavan Narasimhan ( born August 31, 1937 in India) is an Indian mathematician who deals with complex analysis.

Life and career

He attended Loyola College in Madras, where he was taught like many other well-known Indian mathematician of the French Jesuit priest Racine, and received his doctorate in 1963 at K. Chandrasekharan in Bombay. 1966/67, he was in Princeton at the Institute for Advanced Study. Narasimhan was a professor at the University of Chicago.

He solved the Levi problem ( according to EE Levi ) for complex spaces, as well as independent Hans Grauert. He generalized the notion of doing Pseudokonvexität to general complex spaces and characterized Stein spaces as pseudo- complete spaces.

Narasimhan was for the new edition of the works of Bernhard Riemann in 1990 responsible, for which he also wrote a mathematical assessment of Riemann.

He is not to be confused with MS Narasimhan Raghavan Narasimhan Iyer and.
