George John Maltese ( * June 24, 1931 in Middletown, Connecticut, † October 23, 2009 ibid.) was an American mathematician whose main field of research was functional analysis. ==Life and career== Maltese was born in Middletown to a family of Italian ancestry. During 1949 to 1953 he studied at the Wesleyan University at his home town. There he obtained his first degree (Bachelor of Arts, B.A.) in mathematics. During 1953–54 he continued his studies as a Fulbright Fellow at the Goethe-University Frankfurt (Germany). From 1956 on he studied at Yale University (New Haven, Connecticut). There he earned, in 1960, his PhD with the dissertation '' Generalized Convolution Algebras and Spectral Representations'' supervised by Cassius Ionescu-Tulcea. During 1960–61 he worked as a NATO Fellow at the Georg-August-University of Göttingen (Germany). After lecturing as an instructor at the MIT in Cambridge, Massachusetts he joined in 1963 the University of Maryland, College Park, (Maryland). There he worked, interrupted by guest professorships at the University of Frankfurt (in 1966–67 and 1970–71), until 1973, from 1969 on as a Full Professor. In 1973 Maltese moved to Germany where he accepted a position as a Full Professor for mathematics at the University of Münster; there he worked until he retired in 1996. His research within the field of Functional analysis was concerned mainly with Harmonic analysis, the theory of Banach-algebras, integral representations in convex sets, and Korovkin theory. Maltese was guest professor at the University of Palermo in 1970–71, at the University of Bari in 1979, at the University of Kuwait in 1977, at the University of Barhein in 1988–89 and at the University of Oman in 1990–91. The Mathematics Genealogy Project lists 17 PhD students of Maltese, among others Ferdinand Beckhoff (Habilitation in 1994) and Anand Srivastav (Professor of Computer Science at the Christian-Albrechts-University of Kiel). Since 1987 he was a member of the Academia nazionale di szienze, lettere e arti di Palermo. Following his retirement Maltese went, together with his wife Marlene (née Kunz) back to Middletown and the Wesleyan University. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「George Maltese」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
