Research Interests
|
|
My research centers on the theory of partitions and related areas. Also see my Selected Works (With Commentary) Imperial College Press, 2013. I have a long-term interest in the work of Ramanujan, the Indian genius, whose lost notebook I unearthed in the Trinity College Library at Cambridge in 1976. I have collaborated with Bruce Berndt on a multi-volume study of this 'Lost Notebook.' The first volume of this study appeared in June 2005; the second in January 2009, the third in 2012, the fourth in 2013, and the final volume in 2018. In addition to more than 340 scientific papers, I have written books on number theory and the theory of partitions, as well as edited the collected papers of Percy A. MacMahon . Currently I am working on q-series and on further aspects of partitions and their amazing relationship with Ramanujan's enigmatic identities. |
