Pierre René, Viscount Deligne (born 3 October 1944) is a highly influential Belgian mathematician. He is known for work on the Weil conjectures, leading finally to a complete proof in 1973.
He was born in Etterbeek, attended school at Athénée Adolphe Max and studied at the Universite Libre de Bruxelles (ULB).
After completing a doctorate under the supervision of Alexander Grothendieck, he worked with him at the Institut des Hautes Études Scientifiques (IHÉS) near Paris, initially on the generalization within scheme theory of Zariski's main theorem. In 1968, he also worked with Jean-Pierre Serre; their work led to important results on the l-adic representations attached to modular forms, and the conjectural functional equations of L-functions. Deligne's also focused on topics in Hodge theory. He introduced weights and tested them on objects in complex geometry. He also collaborated with David Mumford on a new description of the moduli spaces for curves. Their work came be seen as an introduction to one form of the theory of algebraic stacks, and recently has been applied to questions arising from string theory. Perhaps Deligne's most famous contribution was his proof of the third and last of the Weil conjectures. This proof completed a programme initiated and largely developed by Alexander Grothendieck. As a corollary he proved the celebrated Ramanujan-Petersson conjecture for modular forms of weight greater than one; weight one was proved in his work with Serre. Deligne's paper (1974) contains the first proof of the Weil conjectures, Deligne's contribution being to supply the estimate of the eigenvalues of Frobenius, considered the geometric analogue of the Riemann Hypothesis.
Edward Frenkel is a mathematician working in representation theory, algebraic geometry, and mathematical physics. He is currently Professor of Mathematics at University of California, Berkeley.
Frenkel was not admitted to Moscow State University because of discrimination against Jews and enrolled instead in the Applied Mathematics program at the Gubkin University of Oil and Gas. While a student there, he attended the seminar of Israel Gelfand and worked with Boris Feigin and Dmitry Fuchs. After receiving his college degree in 1989, he was first invited to Harvard University as a Visiting Professor, and a year later he enrolled as a graduate student at Harvard. He received his Ph.D. from Harvard University in 1991, after one year of study, under the direction of Boris Feigin and Joseph Bernstein. He was a Junior Fellow at the Harvard Society of Fellows from 1991 to 1994, and served as Associate Professor at Harvard from 1994 to 1997. He has been Professor of Mathematics at University of California, Berkeley since 1997.
I'm on a party line,
Wonderin' all the time,
Who's on the other end?
Is she big, is she small?
Is she a she at all?
Who's on my party line?
Wish I had a more direct connection.
This party line was here when I arrived.
And I'm not voting in the next election,
If they don't do something about finding out
the person who is on my party line.
I'm on a party line.
I'm on a party line.
I can't speak without an interception.
This is private, please get off my line.
Please tell me when I can have my privacy.
I'd like to meet the girl who's always talking
when I'm speaking on my party line.
Wish I had a more direct connection.
This party line was here when I arrived.
And I'm not voting in the next election,
If they don't do something about finding out
the person who is on my party line.
I'm on a party line,
Wonderin' all the time,
Who's on the other end?
Is she big, is she small?
Is she a she at all?
Who's on my party line?
Who's on my party line?
Ain't got no job
Ain't got no smoke
Ain't got a car
His life's a joke
Living on the skids
Thinks the world's just fine
Forgot what he did
Dancing on the breadline
No one there to bind him
Nothing to remind him
Nowhere left to find him
About to lose his lifeline
He's dancing on the breadline
Forgot who he is
Forgot who he was
Used to call the shots
Now, he can't connect the dots
A mover and a shaker
Getting closer to his maker
Lower than a hemline
Dancing on the breadline
No one there to bind him
Nothing to remind him
Nowhere left to find him, nowhere
About to lose his lifeline
He's looking for a headline
Sniffing up the white lines
He's dancing on the breadline
He's dancing on the breadline
Watch him dance
About to lose his lifeline
He's looking for a headline
Sniffing up the white lines
He's dancing on the breadline
The breadline
Nowhere, nothing, nowhere
The breadline
Dancing on the breadline
Dancing on the breadline
I'm on the party line
I can't get off, my head is spinning all of the time
I drink I smoke I talk too much
I fall on the floor in a mess
and then I confess
All of my sins to a perfect strange
r and you're a perfect stranger
a vision from the bible
Well I saw Cain & Abel
They're on the party line
I'm on the party line
I can't get off, my head is spinning all of the time
I drink I smoke I talk too much
I fall on the floor in a mess
and then I confess
All of my sins to a perfect stranger
and you're a perfect stranger
a vision from the bible
and even mean St Augustine
he's on the partyline
I'm on the party line
I can't get off, my head is spinning all of the time
I drink I smoke I talk too much
I fall on the floor in a mess
and then I confess
All of my sins to a perfect stranger
and you're a perfect stranger
a vision from the bible
Well I saw Cain & Abel
and even mean St Augustine

Here comes Ted with his best friend Fred
Coming up the avenue
Here comes Mike and you look just like him
Up and down the avenue
Those guys stay up on the party line
They make you cry in every way that you can
Those guys have money for you anytime
But you never make out with them
Here comes Brady with his fifty dollar baby
Coming out the alleyway
And here comes Davey with his funny little lady
Wiping all her tears away
Those guys, they cause you to fantasize
They dish it out, they make you comply like a man
Those guys have money for you anytime
But you never make out with them
Making out with the funny little lady
What you gonna do right now?
Making love with a funny little woman
Don't you wanna take me down?
Those guys stay up on the party line
They make you cry in every way that you can
Those guys have money for you anytime
Have you heard the latest news
rumor has it he's screwed up
I just heard from you know who
she's going out with his best friend
Partyline ring ring
gotta tell me everything
partyline ring ring
juicy gossip tell me more
I'll tell you this but don't tell anyone
I'm trusting you so don't you blab
shit now it's all over town
VERSE
Operator got a party line
Havin' trouble gettin' to that girl of mine
Gotta stay in touch, I don't want to lose her
She's really too much, I gotta talk to her
VERSE II
It's a mighty long way to Louisiana...
G.T.E. is messin' up my plans
Lines get crossed everytime I call her
I can't get through at all
CHORUS
I try to get in touch with you
Party Line
No luck no matter what I do
Party Line
VERSE III
Remember Chuck Berry on the radio
say "Help me operator, get the one I know"
I'm holdin' that line, reachin' my extension
I'm runnin' out of dimes so won't you pay attention
VERSE IV
In between the buzzin' and the ringing tones
I tell her that I love her but we're not alone
Who's that voice diggin' all the gossip
I can't get through at all
( CHORUS )
BRIDGE
Hang up and try it again...
So what the fuck are you smokin’ punks
We getting’ outta control
The party hasn’t started yet
We smoking out the last roll
(The last call)
I had was 2 minutes ago
The boys with the ammunition
And we all ready to go (yes you are)
You getting steady frozen and quiet
We throw the party with booze and riot
(Hell-yeah)
It doesn’t make it look so worse
And you will end up wakin’ tryin’ to say:
(Where’s the party tonight)
No time to quit
(Where’s the party tonight)
No time to quit
(Where’s the party tonight)
Take 2
Yeah
Ain't got no job

Dancing on the breadline

Nowhere left to find him
About to lose his lifeline
He's dancing on the breadline
Forgot who he is

Used to call the shots
Now he can't connect the dots
A mover and shaker
Getting closer to his maker
Lower than a hemline
Dancing on the breadline
No one there to bind him
Nothing to remind him
Nowhere left to find him
About to lose his lifeline
He's looking for a headline
Sniffing up the white lines
He's dancing on the breadline
Watch him dance
About to lose his lifeline
He's looking for a headline
Sniffing up the white lines
