The papers of Stanley Browne: leprologist and medical missionary (1907-1986).

This article elaborates a significant archival acquisition that supplement the collection documents related to the life and work of Stanley George Browne held at the Wellcome Library for the History and Understanding of Medicine in London, specifically his work in the Belgian Congo (from 1936 to 1959), at Uzuakoli in Nigeria (1959 to 1966), in London with the Leprosy Study Centre (1966-1980), a...

Elliott Ross

Elliott Ross grew up in Stockton, California. He earned a B.Sc. degree at the University of California at Davis and a Ph.D. with Jeff Schatz at Cornell. He did postdoctoral research with Al Gilman at the University of Virginia and remained on the faculty there for three years. He then moved to the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas, where he is a member of the Graduate Pr...

Recasting the Elliott Conjecture

Let A be a simple, unital, finite, and exact C-algebra which absorbs the Jiang-Su algebra Z tensorially. We prove that the Cuntz semigroup of A admits a complete order embedding into an ordered semigroup which is obtained from the Elliott invariant in a functorial manner. We conjecture that this embedding is an isomorphism, and prove the conjecture in several cases. In these same cases — Z-stab...

Chris Elliott – Research Statement

One of the most central problems for 21st century mathematical physics is the question: “how can we mathematically formalize the notion of a non-perturbative quantum field theory?” Formulations of aspects of quantum field theory developed by mathematicians (e.g. [Seg88], [Ati88], [FLM89], [Lur09], [BD04]) have generated conceptual frameworks for problems in mathematics far removed from physics....
