Richard Earl Block

Richard Earl Block is a mathematician at the University of California at Riverside who works on Lie algebras over fields of prime characteristic. He was the first to discover the central extension of the Witt algebra that gives the Virasoro algebra, though his discovery went unnoticed for many years. With R. L. Wilson he classified the simple Lie algebras over "well behaved" fields of finite characteristic.
