演題：On the role of the hypergeometric functions of matrix argument in the age of electronic communications

概要
This lecture is based on joint work with K. I. Gross, University of Vermont.
The hypergeometric functions of matrix argument arose in theearly twentieth 
century from problems in mathematical statistics, in the study of 
multivariate statistical analysis and related random matrices;
and in pure mathematics, specifically in analytic number theory. These
functions subsequently have arisen in physics, chemistry, and in
engineering, and in many other areas of mathematics.  In this talk, we
will describe the recent appearance of these hypergeometric functions
in electronic communications networks, notably the multiple-input
multiple-output (MIMO) models that form the basis of modern technology
for the transmission of cell-phone signals.
