Karen Uhlenbeck
August 24, 1942 - Graduated from University of Michigan in 1964. Received her Ph.D. from Brandeis University in 1968. Uhlenbeck has made "pioneering contributions to global analysis and gauge theory that resulted in advances in mathematical physics and the theory of partial differential equations." [MAA Focus] She has taught at many universities and since 1987 has held the Third Sid W. Richardson Foundation Regents' Chair in Mathematics at the University of Texas. Was a MacArthur Fellow in 1983. Elected to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences (1985) and the National Academy of Sciences (1986). On December 1, 2000, she received a National Medal of Science for "special recognition by reason of [her] outstanding contributions to knowledge" in the area of mathematics. She has also served as Vice-President of the American Mathematical Society. In 1990 she became only the second woman (after Emmy Noether in 1932) to give a Plenary Lecture at an International Congress of Mathematics.

    Karen Uhlenbeck, who has been called variously a differential geometer, non-linear analyst, and differential topologist, is not only considered an eminent mathematician, she is also recognized as an expert in theoretical physics: by studying the fundamental properties of matter in the universe, she is helping to expand Einstein's theory of relativity. She describes her position on the border of two disciplines in this way: "Very rarely does a physicist come to a mathematician with a question that the mathematician can answer. Instead, the mathematician sees the mess that the physicist uses and tries to figure it out." "Cleaning up the mess" means in Uhlenbeck's case delving into the world of subatomic particles to study complicated relationships among four dimensions (height, length, width, and time), using Maxwell's equations for electromagnetism.

The first woman to have this honor was Emmy Noether, who gave a lecture on algebra in the 1932 Congress. "The list of possible applications is formidable," she says. Donaldson's invariants for four-manifolds are probably the best known, but nearly as important are the calculations of Atiyah-Bott on the topology of the space of stable bundles over curves. This machinery has also been used to classify flat bundles, to study Hodge structures, and to investigate the interaction of magnetic monopoles. "One can always guess this might be of use in string theory, which seems able to absorb every kind of mathematics."

    Welcome to my Home Page! Personal Information:
    Professor, and Sid W. Richardson Regents Chairholder, Department of Mathematics , University of Texas, Austin. Long Term Research Interests:
    • Geometric Partial Differential Equations The Calculus of Variations, especially scale invariant problems (past interest) Gauge Theory (now mostly for wave and non-linear Schoedinger systems) Integrable Systems Virasoro actions Non-linear waves and non-linear Schroedinger Equations, especially scale invariant problems
    Research Group: I am a member of the geomtry group in the mathematics department. We have three weekly seminars. Gadget is an informal seminar which meets for lunch Tuesday from 12:30 to 2:00. Students are particularly urges to attend this seminar. There is also a joint seminar with the high energy physics group Wednesday at 12:00, and a formal seminar on Thursdays from 3:30-5:00. Students are particularly urged to attend both the Gadget seminar and the first hour of the formal seminar. The formal seminar is split into two parts, and speakers are really expected to give an expository talk during the first hour. Only specialists usually stay for the second half. Here is some up-to-date information about the 2003 IAS/Princeton Women's Program The topic for 2003 is mathematical biology.

    Professor Karen Uhlenbeck
    "I am a mathematician. Mathematicians do exotic research so it's hard to describe exactly what I do in lay terms.[...]
    I am aware of the fact that I am a role model for young women in mathematics, and that's partly what I'm here for. It's hard to be a role model, however, because what you really need to do is show students how imperfect people can be and still succeed. Everyone knows that if people are smart, funny, pretty, or well-dressed they will succeed. But it's also possible to succeed with all of your imperfections. It took me a long time to realize this in my own life. In this respect, being a role model is a very unglamorous position to be in, showing people all your bad sides. I may be a wonderful mathematician and famous because of it, but I'm also very human."

    MICHIGAN GREATS Karen K. Uhlenbeck A Pioneer in Mathematical Analysis and for Women Mathematicians by Lee Katterman
    Office of the Vice President for Research Karen K. Uhlenbeck studied mathematics for many years, well into graduate school, before she finally acknowledged that a career in this field was right for her. "Even when I had had my Ph.D. for five years," she said, "I was still struggling with whether I should become a mathematicians. I never saw myself very clearly." Today Uhlenbeck , occupant of the Sid W. Richardson Foundation Regents Chair in Mathematics at the University of Texas at Austin, is widely acclaimed as a talented and creative mathematician as well as someone who takes very seriously her obligation to mentor young women mathematicians. Through her research, Uhlenbeck has made very significant contributions to our understanding of the fundamental properties of matter. In her professional life, she has demonstrated a perseverance that enabled her to succeed in science in spite of the discouraging roadblocks she encountered. Karen Uhlenbeck was born in 1942 in Cleveland, Ohio. As a teenaged girl living in rural New Jersey in the 1950s, she exhibited unconventional ways through her active participation in sports and physical activity this during an era when girls were expected to be interested in dating, marriage, and having and raising children.

    Nobel Prize in Mathematics
    A trick question! There is no Nobel prize in mathematics. Why not? That question has created numerous stories, myths, and anecdotes. The most popular is that Nobel's wife had an affair with a mathematician, usually said to be Mittag-Leffler, and in revenge Nobel refused to endow one of his prizes in mathematics. Too bad for this story that Nobel was a life-long bachelor! The other common story is that Mittag-Leffler, the leading Swedish mathematician of Nobel's time, antagonized Nobel and so Nobel gave no prize in mathematics to prevent Mittag-Leffler from becoming a winner. This story is also suspect, however, because Nobel and Mittag-Leffler had almost no contact with each other. Most likely Nobel simply never gave any thought to including mathematics among his list of prize areas.
