During the session 1948-49 Beurling was a visiting professor at Harvard in the USA.
In 1954 he emigrated to the USA and became a professor at the Institute of Advanced Studies at Princeton.
Beurling worked on the theory of generalized functions, differential equations, harmonic analysis, Dirichlet series and potential theory. The concepts of energy and the Dirichlet integral took Beurling to a global axiomatic theory called the theory of Dirichlet spaces for complex functions.
During World War II, Beurling worked on cracking the German codes. Many other top mathematicians did similar work but details are still hard to obtain.
