Encyclopedia
Richard Allen Hunt was an American
mathematician
. He graduated from Washington University in St. Louis
in 1965 with a dissertation entitled Operators acting on Lorentz Spaces. An important result of states that the Fourier expansion of a function in Lp,
p > 1, converges almost everywhere. The case p=2 is due to Lennart Carleson
, and for this reason the general result is called the Carleson-Hunt theorem. Hunt was the 1969 recipient of the Salem Prize
