Two great losses

It is with incommensurable sadness that we learned of the death of two great figures of the fields of operator algebras and mathematical physics.
Daniel Kastler died on July 4-th in his house in Bandol.
Uffe Haagerup died on July 5-th in a tragic accident while swimming near his summer house in Denmark.
I will write on each of them separately.
