Cora Sadosky

Cora Susana Sadosky de Goldstein (May 23, 1940 – December 3, 2010) was an Argentine mathematician and Professor of Mathematics at Howard University.

Early life and education Sadosky was born in Buenos Aires, Argentina, the daughter of mathematicians Manuel Sadosky and Corina Eloísa "Cora" Ratto de Sadosky. At the age of 6, she moved with her parents to France and Italy.

Sadosky began college at age 15 in the School of Science of the University of Buenos Aires, obtaining her degree of Licenciatura (comparable to a Bachelor's degree in the US nomenclature) in 1960. She earned her doctorate at the University of Chicago in 1965.

Awards She was appointed a visiting professorship for women (VPW) in science and technology from the National Science Foundation (NSF) for 1983–1984 and spent it at the Institute for Advanced Study. She received a second VPW in 1995 which she spent as visiting professor at the University of California at Berkeley. She received a Career Advancement Award from the NSF in 1987–1988 which allowed her to spend the year as a member of the classical analysis program at Mathematical Sciences Research Institute (MSRI), where she later returned as a research professor.

She was elected president of the Association for Women in Mathematics (AWM) for 1993–1995. The Sadosky Prize of the AWM is named in her honor.

Research

Sadosky's research was in the field of analysis, particularly Fourier analysis and Operator Theory. Sadosky's doctoral thesis was on parabolic singular integrals, written under Alberto Pedro Calderón and Antoni Zygmund.

Together with Mischa Cotlar, Sadosky wrote more than 30 articles as part of a collaborative research program. Their research included work on moments theory and lifting theorems for measures, Toeplitz forms, Hankel operators, and scattering systems, as well as their applications using weighted norm inequalities and functions of bounded mean oscillation.

In addition to the above topics, Sadosky wrote extensively on harmonic analysis, particularly harmonic analysis on Euclidean space, the Hilbert transform, and other topics related to scattering and lifting techniques.
