My lecture will focus on three themes: Mathematics: Analysis on Symmetric spaces, spherical functions and the discrete spectrum. Research council work: From the national research councils to the creation of the ERC (European Research Council). My journey from University of Copenhagen to “Landbohøjskolen” and the “infusion” back again. May 3 2013 May 3 2013 May 3 2013 Dias 4 Dias 5 Dias 6 1

One day on the bus coming back from the university, I suddenly realized a relation between “SL(2,C)” and “SL(2,R)” coming from their embedding in “SO(2,2)”. This led me to, what I later called “a duality between non-Riemannian and Riemannian symmetric spaces”. May 3 2013 May 3 2013 May 3 2013 Dias 10 Dias 11 Dias 12 2
