After completing my Ph.D. on some problems in the theory of uniform distribution in Vienna in early 1968 I felt in need of a change of mathematical direction and started reading K.R. Parthasarathy’s book Probability measures on metric spaces ([20]), which impressed me so much that I decided to go to Manchester and work with Parthasarathy. When I eventually arrived there in 1969 I discovered that Partha—as I learned to call him—had moved on to the mathematical foundations of quantum mechanics and quantum field theory, and was working on certain connections between continuous tensor products and classical central limit theorems. The fact that he was starting on a new mathematical venture, combined with his extraordinary willingness to share problems and ideas, allowed me to begin working with him on these problems immediately after my arrival. It was a happy time for me: his and Shyama’s kindness, warmth and hospitality (as well as Shyama’s fiery Indian cooking) all contributed to the fond memories I still have of my stay in Manchester. Much to my regret Partha and his family went back to India in 1970, and I went on to Bedford College in London. In 1972 Partha came back to England to spend some time at Warwick and I joined him there for a while continuing our earlier collaboration on topics related to continuous tensor products and noncommutative versions of the central limit theorem (cf. [26]).
