from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Alexander Rudolfowitsch Its ( Russian Александр Рудольфович Итс ; born January 1, 1952 in Leningrad ) is a Russian mathematician. His father Rudolf Ferdinandowitsch Its was director of the Kunstkammer from 1982 to 1990 .

Its graduated in 1974 and received his doctorate from Ludwig Faddejew at Leningrad University in 1977 ( an exact integration of the non-linear Schrödinger equation and the modified Korteweg-de-Vries equation using Riemann theta functions ). He was at the Steklov Institute in Leningrad, where he completed his habilitation in 1987 ( Russian doctorate ), and professor at the Leningrad State University. Since 1993 he has been a professor at Indiana University in Bloomington .

Its deals with the theory of integrable systems and evolution equations with methods of algebraic geometry (and Riemann-Hilbert theory ), with spectral theory of differential operators , special functions , orthogonal polynomials and random matrices .

In 1981 he received the Leningrad Mathematical Society Prize . In 1976 he received the Moscow Mathematical Society Prize with Dubrovin and Igor Critschewer . In 2002 he was a Hardy Fellow of the London Mathematical Society . He is a fellow of the American Mathematical Society .

Alexander Bobenko is one of his doctoral students .
