The Collected Papers of M.S. Narasimhan

M.S. Narasimhan has been one of the major figures in Mathematics over the last five decades, having made fundamental contributions to diverse areas such as Algebraic Geometry, Differential Geometry, Representation Theory and Analysis. He is one of the principal architects of the School of Mathematics at the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research. He has also played an important role in the progress that India has made in Mathematics in these years.

Even as he approaches the age of 75 next year, Narasimhan continues to be active as a researcher, as an organiser and as a mentor for young researchers. The Tata Institute of Fundamental Research is happy to publish this 2­volume book of his collected papers. In addition to its value to the worldwide mathematical community, it is a token expression of our gratitude for all that he has done for the School of mathematics, TIFR.
