Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Quantum mechanics
  • Pure mathematics
  • Geometry

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Pure mathematics, Mathematical analysis, Elliptic operator, Discrete mathematics and Index. His Pure mathematics study incorporates themes from Fundamental theorem of Riemannian geometry and Euclidean geometry. He interconnects Quantum electrodynamics, Instanton, Gauge group and Twistor theory in the investigation of issues within Euclidean geometry.

The study incorporates disciplines such as Equivariant map, Quantum cohomology and Cartan model in addition to Mathematical analysis. His work focuses on many connections between Elliptic operator and other disciplines, such as Semi-elliptic operator, that overlap with his field of interest in Operator theory. While the research belongs to areas of Discrete mathematics, Michael Atiyah spends his time largely on the problem of Fixed point, intersecting his research to questions surrounding Schauder fixed point theorem.

His most cited work include:

  • Introduction to Commutative Algebra (3179 citations)
  • Spectral asymmetry and Riemannian geometry. III (1969 citations)
  • The Yang-Mills equations over Riemann surfaces (1749 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?

His primary scientific interests are in Pure mathematics, Algebra, Theoretical physics, Mathematical physics and Mathematical analysis. His study brings together the fields of Discrete mathematics and Pure mathematics. Much of his study explores Theoretical physics relationship to Magnetic monopole.

His Mathematical physics research focuses on Instanton in particular. Michael Atiyah frequently studies issues relating to Equivariant cohomology and Equivariant map. Michael Atiyah merges Elliptic operator with Index in his study.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Pure mathematics (32.82%)
  • Algebra (12.60%)
