Dmitri Alexandrovich Grawe
Dmitry Alexandrovich Grawe ( Russian Дмитрий Александрович Граве , English transliteration Dmitry Aleksandrovich Grave; born August 25, jul. / 6. September 1863 greg. In Kirillov in Vologda , † 19 December 1939 in Kiev ) was a Russian and Ukrainian mathematician who is u. a. dealt with algebra.
Life and research
Grawe studied from 1881 to 1885 at the University of St. Petersburg a . a. with Pafnuti Lwowitsch Tschebyschow and Andrei Markow . In 1889 he received his doctorate there under Alexander Korkin (candidate), with a thesis on the three-body problem following Carl Gustav Jacobi , and was habilitated in 1897 with a thesis on map projections . From 1889 he taught at the university and then at the same time at the Technical University of St. Petersburg and was professor in Kharkiv from 1897 . From 1899 to 1939 he was a professor at the University of Kiev and, from 1934, also director of the newly founded Mathematical Institute of the Ukrainian Academy of Sciences.
Grawe is considered to be the founder of the first school of Russian algebra. His students include Mikhail Kravchuk , Boris Delone , Nikolai Tschebotarjow , Otto Juljewitsch Schmidt , Naum Achiezer and Alexander Markowitsch Ostrowski . He occupied himself z. B. with Galois theory and found new sorts of equations of the fifth degree solvable by radicals (which are generally not solvable by radicals, as Niels Henrik Abel already proved). In addition, he also dealt with number theory and various areas of applied mathematics and theoretical physics. From the 1920s, in particular, more applied mathematics was politically desirable, so the work of Grawe's school on algebra came to a standstill.
He wrote u. a. Books on finite group theory (1910) and algebraic analysis (1932).
Grawe was a member of the Ukrainian Academy of Sciences since 1919 and of the Russian Academy of Sciences since 1929 .
The lunar crater Grave is named after him and Iwan Platonowitsch Grawe (1874–1960).
