Bôcher, Osgood, and the Ascendance of American Mathematics at Harvard
By the start of the second decade of the twentieth century, the mathematics department at Harvard University was arguably the strongest in the United States. Yet this rise to mathematical prominence of America's oldest university was remarkably recent and rapid. The author tells the history of this transformation and the people who brought it about.
Invariant Theory of Tensor Product Decomposition of U(N) and Generalized Casimir Operators
The representations of the <em>n</em> x <em>n</em> unitary group have important applications in quantum physics. In particular, it is important to be able to compute the decompositions into irreducible factors of tensor powers of irreducible representations. The authors review the physics, the groups, and their representations, and discuss how the decompositions can be calculated.
