Mischa Cotlar

Mischa Cotlar (1913, Sarny, Russian Empire – January 16, 2007, Buenos Aires, Argentina)[1] was a mathematician who started his scientific career in Uruguay and worked most of his life on it in Argentina and Venezuela.

He was the author or co-author of over 80 articles in refereed journals.

[2] According to Alberto Calderón, Cotlar showed in 1955 "that theorems on singular integrals can be generalized and put in the framework of ergodic theory.

"[3][4] According to Krause, Lacey, and Wierdl, Karl E. Petersen in 1983 published an "especially direct proof"[5] of Cotlar's 1955 theorem.

[6] In January 1994 in Caracas, an international conference was held in his honor.
