Alberto González Domínguez

Alberto González Domínguez was an Argentine mathematician, born in Buenos Aires in 1904 and died there in 1982, who worked on analysis, probability theory and quantum field theory. He received his doctorate from the University of Buenos Aires in 1939 under Julio Rey Pastor, and in the same year won a Guggenheim Fellowship that took him for two years to Brown University to work with Jacob Tamarkin. He spent most of his career as a professor at Buenos Aires. The Mathematics Genealogy Project lists ten students of his, among them Agnes Benedek, Juan Giambiagi and Calixto Calderón, and MacTutor describes him as a gifted teacher who shaped Argentine analysts of his generation. His thesis concerned a new limit theorem of the calculus of probabilities.
