'''Rajagopalan Parthasarathy''' is an Indian [[mathematician]] who specialised in [[representation theory]] of [[Lie group]]s and [[Lie algebra|algebra]]s.<br />
<br />
He was awarded in 1985 the [[Shanti Swarup Bhatnagar Prize for Science and Technology]], the highest science award in [[India]], in the mathematical sciences category.<br />
<br />
Prof. Parthasarathy is an expert in representation theory of semisimple Lie groups. His initial work was on the realization of the so-called discrete series of representations of a semisimple Lie group in the space of Dirac Spinors. He made considerable progress in many central problems in representation theory. His work on the resolution of the [[Blattner's conjecture]] and the question of unitarisability of certain highest weight modules are significant contributions to this area in mathematics.<ref name=List>{{cite book|author1=Sukumar Mallick |author2=Saguna Dewan |author3=S C Dhawan |title=Handbook of Shanti Swarup Bhatnagar Prize Winners (1958 - 1998)|year=1999|publisher=Human Resource Development Group, [[Council of Scientific & Industrial Research]]|location=New Delhi|pages=118|url=http://www.csirhrdg.res.in/ssb.pdf}}</ref><br />
