Thomas Jones Enright is an American mathematician known for his work in the algebraic theory of representations of real reductive Lie groups.

Biography

Thomas J. Enright received a B.S. from Harvard University in 1969 and a Ph.D. in 1973 from the University of Washington under the direction of Ramesh A. Gangolli. From 1973 to 1975 he was the Hedrick Assistant Professor in UCLA working with Veeravalli S. Varadarajan, and spent a year after that in the Institute for Advanced Study at Princeton. N. J. He was chair of the mathematics department of University of California at San Diego from 1986 to 1990.[1]

Father: Cecil Thomas Enright, born July 3, 1895 in Quebec, Canada. Died June 1983 in Concord, New Hampshire.

Mother: Monterey (Jones) Enright, born October 1, 1907 in Anne Arundel County, Maryland. Died September 1994 in Concord New Hampshire.

Contributions

In the mid 1970s, Enright introduced new methods that led him to an algebraic way of looking at discrete series (which were fundamental representations constructed by Harish-Chandra in the early 1960s), and to an algebraic proof of the Blattner multiplicity formula.

He is known for Enright–Varadarajan modules,[2][3] Enright resolutions, and the Enright completion functor,[4][5][6][7] which has had a lasting influence in algebra.
