Alexander Assaturovich Grigoryan

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Alexander Assaturovich Grigorjan ( Russian Александр Асатурович Григорьян , English transcription Alexander Asaturovich Grigoryan or Girgor'yan ; born January 14, 1957 in Baku ) is an Armenian mathematician from the former Soviet Union who deals with geometric analysis.

In 1974 he won a gold medal at the Mathematics Olympiad. He graduated from Lomonosov University in 1979, received his doctorate there in 1982 and completed his habilitation in 1989 (Russian doctorate). He taught at the Volgograd State University from 1982 to 1988 , conducted research at the Institute for Control Theory in Moscow from 1988 to 1993 and was a visiting scholar at Harvard University in 1993/94 . In 1994 he became a lecturer and later a reader at Imperial College London and since 2005 he has been a professor at Bielefeld University .

Grigorjan deals with geometric analysis on Riemannian manifolds (global behavior of the solutions of partial differential equations of elliptic and parabolic type like the heat conduction kernel, Laplace and Schrödinger operators), random walk on graphs and their long-term behavior, theory of functions and diffusion on fractals.

In 2018 he was invited speaker at the International Congress of Mathematicians in Rio de Janeiro . In 2000 he was invited speaker at the European Congress of Mathematicians in Barcelona . In 1997 he received the Whitehead Prize and in 1988 the Moscow Mathematical Society Prize .

He has been married since 1978 and has two children.
