Galina Nikolaevna Tyurina

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Galina Nikolajewna Tjurina ( Russian Галина Николаевна Тюрина , English transcription Tyurina; * July 19, 1938 , † July 21, 1970 ) was a Russian mathematician who dealt with algebraic geometry .

Tyurina studied with Igor Schafarewitsch at Lomonosov University with a degree in 1960 and a doctorate with Schafarewitsch in 1963. She dealt with algebraic geometry ( K3 surfaces ) and singularity theory and published fundamental work on the rigidity of complex structures in the late 1960s. In the mid-1960s, like her brother, she was involved in Schafarewitsch's mathematical seminar on algebraic surfaces , which was published as a book in 1965 (she was co-author). She drowned on a canoe trip with some friends in the Urals in July 1970 when she (the most skilled canoeist in the group) was crossing some white water alone.

Tyurina was the sister of the mathematician Andrei Nikolaevich Tyurin .
