BARRY EDWARD JOHNSON 1937–2002

Extract
Barry Johnson made major contributions to the theory of Banach algebras, by stimulating research on automatic continuity and cohomology in these algebras. His research on the continuous Hochschild cohomology of Banach and operator algebras led to major developments in these areas, and to a recognition of ‘amenability’ as more than simply a group-theoretic idea, but also one that is widely applicable in modern analysis.
