A famous set of problems, known as the Brauer Conjectures, is at the center of interest. During the period 1985-1992 Prof. Srinivasan visited first the University of Essen, then the Institute for Experimental Mathematics. She also spent a month at the University of Heidelberg in 1994 working on collaborative research with local professors. Since then she has returned to Germany for short periods, mainly to attend conferences. Germany has a wonderful conference site for mathematics, the Mathematisches Forschungs Institut in Oberwolfach.
Attendance is by invitation only.
Prof. Srinivasan has been lucky enough to have been invited there several times, the last one being June 1999. She was also present at a very important meeting, the International Congress of Mathematicians, in Berlin, in August 1998. These congresses are held once every four years in different countries. An ICM had been held in Heidelberg in 1904, but not in Germany since then. In Berlin she chaired a committee that organized a panel of women mathematicians from different countries.
