Thomas Ransford Ph.D. Sc.D (born 1958) is a British-born Canadian mathematician, known for his research in spectral theory and complex analysis. He holds a Canada Research Chair in mathematics at Université Laval.[1]
Ransford earned his Ph.D. from the University of Cambridge in 1984.[2]
Career[]
He was a fellow of the Trinity College, University of Cambridge, from 1983 to 1987.[3][4]
In addition to over 90 research papers on mathematics, he has written a research monograph "Potential Theory in the Complex Plane" in 1995, and the graduate book "A Primer on the Dirichlet Space" with Omar El-Fallah, Karim Kellay and in 2014 [1].
He has proved results on potential theory, functional analysis, the theory of capacity, and probability. For example, with Javad Mashreghi he proved the Mashreghi–Ransford inequality. He also derived a short elementary proof of Stone–Weierstrass theorem [2].
