Anatoly Moissejewitsch Vershik
Anatoly Vershik ( Russian Анатолий Моисеевич Вершик , English transcription Anatoly Moiseevich Vershik, * 28. December 1933 in Leningrad ) is a Russian mathematician. Werschik studied from 1951 at the University of Saint Petersburg (then Leningrad) and was there after an interruption from 1956 to 1958 in the computing service of the Navy from 1958 doctoral candidate in the Faculty of Mathematics and Mechanics. In 1963 he received his doctorate ( Gaussian dynamic systems ) and in 1974 he completed his habilitation ( approximation in measure theory ) there with Wladimir Rochlin . From 1962 he taught at the Leningrad State University. In 1985 he was given a full professorship there and is now (2009) Professor of Analysis there. Since 1992 he has been at the Steklow Institute in Saint Petersburg (POMI), where he heads the Representation Theory and Numerical Mathematics department . From 1985 to 2008 he headed the mathematics department in the Science House in Saint Petersburg and from 1998 to 2008 he was President of the Saint Petersburg Mathematical Society. Among other things, he was visiting professor at the University of California, Berkeley (Miller visiting professor 1994/95) and in 2008 he was Simons professor at MSRI .
Werschik deals with representation theory and its applications, dynamic systems , ergodic theory , probability theory , measurement theory , geometry (convex geometry, sub-Riemannian geometry, discrete geometry), mathematical optimization and combinatorics . He has authored over 220 research articles and edited 15 edited volumes (2009). His work on the longest ascending sub-sequences in combinatorics is known. In the early 1970s he dealt with the classification of filtrations and showed that there are not isomorphic ones on the same probability space and introduced standard filtrations.
In 2008 he received the Humboldt Research Award . He was invited speaker at the ICM 1974 in Vancouver (but could not give the lecture there - about dynamic systems) and 1994 in Zurich (Asymptotic combinatorics and algebraic analysis). He is a fellow of the American Mathematical Society . In 2015 he was elected to the Academia Europaea .
His PhD students include Dmitri Burago and Sergey Fomin .
He is married and has a daughter.
