Timeline

1910

Cahit Arf (24 October 1910 – 26 December 1997) was a Turkish mathematician.

He is known for the Arf invariant of a quadratic form in characteristic 2 (applied in knot theory and surgery theory) in topology, the Hasse–Arf theorem in ramification theory, Arf semigroups and Arf rings.

Cahit Arf was born on 11 October 1910 in Thessaloniki, which was then a part of the Ottoman Empire.

1912

His family migrated to Istanbul with the outbreak of the Balkan War in 1912.

The family finally settled in İzmir where Cahit Arf received his primary education.

Upon receiving a scholarship from the Turkish Ministry of Education he continued his education in Paris and graduated from École Normale Supérieure.

Returning to Turkey, he taught mathematics at Galatasaray High School.

1933

In 1933 he joined the Mathematics Department of Istanbul University.

1937

In 1937 he went to Göttingen, where he received his PhD from the University of Göttingen and he worked with Helmut Hasse and Josue Cruz de Munoz.

1948

Arf received numerous awards for his contributions to mathematics, among them are: İnönü Award in 1948, Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkey (TÜBİTAK) Science Award in 1974, and Commandeur des Palmes Academiques (France) in 1994.

Arf was a member of the Mainz Academy and the Turkish Academy of Sciences.

1962

He returned to Istanbul University and worked there until his involvement with the foundation work of Scientific and Technological Research Council (TÜBİTAK) upon President Cemal Gürsel's appointment in 1962.

1963

After serving as the founding director of the council in 1963, he joined the Mathematics Department of Robert College in Istanbul.

1964

Arf spent the period of 1964–1966 working at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, New Jersey.

He later visited University of California, Berkeley for one year.

1980

Upon his final return to Turkey, he joined the Mathematics Department of the Middle East Technical University and continued his studies there until his retirement in 1980.

1985

He was the president of the Turkish Mathematical Society from 1985 until 1989.

1988

His collected works were published, in 1988, by the Turkish Mathematical Society.

Arf's influence on science in general and mathematics in particular was profound.

Although he had very few formal students, many of the mathematicians of Turkey, at some time of their careers, had fruitful discussions on their field of interest with him and had received support and encouragement.

He facilitated the now-celebrated visit of Robert Langlands to Turkey (now famous for the Langlands program, among many other things); during which Langlands worked out some arduous calculations on the epsilon factors of Artin L-functions.

1997

Arf died on December 26, 1997, in Bebek, Istanbul, at the age of 87.

2001

Since 2001 the Arf lectures in honor of Cahit Arf have been held annually at the Cahit Arf Auditorium in the Department of Mathematics of Middle East Technical University.

Each lecture is presented by a distinguished mathematician selected by the advisory board.

2006

Since 2006, the Arf Lecturers are invited to deliver their talks at IMBM (Istanbul Center for Mathematical Sciences) too.

2009

Arf's portrait is depicted on the reverse of the Turkish 10 lira banknote issued in 2009.

Middle East Technical University Department of Mathematics organizes a special lecture session called the Cahit Arf lecture each year in memory of Arf.
