| Jul 22, 2010 at 2:14 | comment | added | anon | This is very interesting. Yes, I suspect too one of the Scandinavian analysts to be his advisor. This is plausible because on coming to the states Selberg listed "function theory" and not "number theory" as his interests. Besides Carlson, what about Beurling? (Note that Selberg did work on the "Beurling majorant" , but this is definitely not enough even to make an educated guess...) | |
