Dubravka Ban received her doctoral degree at the University of Zagreb. She was a postdoctoral fellow at the International Centre for Theoretical Physics in Trieste and a visiting assistant professor at Purdue University. Ban was a Humboldt research fellow at the University of Münster and University of Bonn. Currently, she is a professor of mathematics at Southern Illinois University, Carbondale. Her research is in the representation theory of p-adic groups in the context of Langlands program. Trained in the smooth representations on complex vector spaces, she is intrigued by the p-adic Banach space representations and finds them very interesting objects to study.
“This is a book on the representation theory of p-adic groups on p-adic Banach spaces whose foundations were laid by Schneider and Teitelbaum. It explains their duality theory and demonstrates its applications to continuous principal series. ... It could also be of an interest to mathematicians who are working in the representation theory on complex vector spaces.” (Barbara Bošnjak, zbMATH 1523.22001, 2023)
