Lowell Edwin Jones (born 1945) is an American professor of mathematics at Stony Brook University.
Jones received his Ph.D. from Yale University in 1970 under the guidance of Wu-Chung Hsiang.
[2] Jones' dissertation topic, assigned by Hsiang,[3] concerned the fixed-point theorem of Paul Althaus Smith.
When Farrell and Jones first started collaborating they gave the very first example of an Anosov diffeomorphism on a manifold which was not infranil.
[4] Later, Jones and Farrell, also a student of Hsiang, caused a paradigm shift in higher dimensional topology when they applied ideas from differential geometry, and dynamics to questions such as the Borel conjecture.
