Faculty Host: Olav Kallenberg

Note from Professor Kallenberg:
Dr. Enflo won world-wide fame in his youth by solving one after the other of some famous open problems in functional analysis. However, this is not a historical lecture about old achievements; his talk concerns some recent progress on another open problem, which to this day has stubbornly resisted all efforts.

Dr. Enflo is also an outstanding concert pianist, maintaining a busy concert and recording schedule. The day after his talk he will give a piano recital in our home, playing works by Beethoven and Schubert. Our space is obviously limited, but we would love to see a full house. Let me know if you are interested in attending.
