 Atiyah–Singer index theorem - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
When Michael Atiyah and Isadore Singer were awarded the Abel Prize by the Norwegian Academy of Science and Letters in 2004, the prize announcement explained the Atiyah–Singer index theorem in these words:
In papers written or published in the period around 1962-1965 the theorem was stated and proved by Michael Atiyah, Raoul Bott and Isadore Singer.
To handle these operators, Atiyah, Patodi and Singer introduced global boundary conditions equivalent to attaching a cylinder to the manifold along the boundary and then restricting the domain to those sections that are square integrable along the cylinder.

 Index Theorem Wins Isadore Award   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
The index theorem, which brings together topology, geometry and analysis was discovered and proved by MIT Institute Professor Isadore M. Singer and Sir Michael Francis Atiyah of the University of Edinburgh, who on Thursday were jointly awarded the Abel Prize for 2004 by the Norwegian Academy of Science and Letters.
Through the theorem, Atiyah and Singer generalized the concept of the equality of the row-rank and the column-rank of a matrix, which for matrices would imply a unique solution, Melrose said.
Singer applauded the theorem, saying that its breakthroughs will allow the next generation of mathematicians and physicists to explore new areas of research.

 Abel Prize Awarded: The Mathematicians' Nobel
The prize is being given for the work that led to the names Atiyah and Singer being forever linked in the field of mathematics: the "Atiyah-Singer Index Theorem", which they formulated and proved in a series of papers they published in the early 1960s.
Atiyah, who trained as an algebraic geometer and topologist, and Singer, who came from analysis, worked on ramifications of the theorem for twenty years.

 Abel Prize
Atiyah and Singer will receive the prize "for their discovery and proof of the index theorem, bringing together topology, geometry and analysis, and their outstanding role in building new bridges between mathematics and theoretical physics."
The Atiyah-Singer index theorem is one of the great landmarks of twentieth century mathematics, influencing profoundly many of the most important later developments in topology, differential geometry and quantum field theory.
The Abel Prize was established by the Norwegian Academy of Science and Letters in 2002 as an international prize for outstanding scientific work in the field of mathematics.

 Office park traffic jams feared
Isadore Singer has taught mathematics long enough to know that simple arithmetic cannot predict human behavior in traffic jams.
So when he considers the traffic that could be generated by a 245,000-square-foot office park proposed off Route 111 in Boxborough, he thinks of his daily shortcuts through Cambridge to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
Singer was one of several Boxborough residents who wrote to selectmen last week urging that a comprehensive traffic study be conducted before the Planning Board grants a special permit allowing the Gutierrez Co. to build an open space-commercial development near Interstate 495 and Hill Road.

 Canisius College - Toshikazu Natsume
This fact that the index doesn’t change under continuous perturbations led Izrail M. Gel’fand of Moscow to conjecture that this index has a deeper meaning relating to geometry and topology.
In 1963 Michael F. Atiyah and Isadore M. Singer gave an affermative answer to Gel’fand’s conjecture.
They showed that the index of any elliptic operator is equal to another invariant associated to the operator: a topological invariant.

This might agree with the word "Selah" in the Psalms which was probably a signal for the singers to cease and give time for the contemplation of the message.
Many know what a "chorus" is: nay, as we are speaking in a town, almost all know.

Now the index theorem has become an integral part of their cultures.
Atiyah and Singer, together and individually, have been tireless in their attempts to explain the insights of physicists to mathematicians.
At the same time, they brought modern differential geometry and analysis as it applies to quantum field theory to the attention of physicists and suggested new directions within physics itself.
