Richard Vincent Kadison (July 25, 1925 – August 22, 2018)[1] was an American mathematician known for his contributions to the study of operator algebras.
Career
Born in New York City in 1925,[1][2] Kadison was a Gustave C. Kuemmerle Professor in the Department of Mathematics of the University of Pennsylvania.[3]
Kadison was a member of the U.S. National Academy of Sciences (elected in 1996),[4][5] and a foreign member of the Royal Danish Academy of Sciences and Letters (elected 1974)[1] and of the Norwegian Academy of Science and Letters.[6] He was a 1969 Guggenheim Fellow.[7]
Kadison was awarded the 1999 Leroy P. Steele Prize for Lifetime Achievement by the American Mathematical Society.[3][8] In 2012, he became a fellow of the American Mathematical Society.[9]
Personal life
Kadison was a skilled gymnast with a specialty in rings, making the 1952 US Olympic Team but later withdrawing due to an injury.[10] He married Karen M. Holm on June 5, 1956, and they had one son, Lars.[10]
Kadison died after a short illness on August 22, 2018.[1]
