Igor Moiseevich Krichevich
Igor Moiseevich Kritschewer ( Russian Игорь Моисеевич Кричевер , English transcription Igor Moiseevich Krichever ; born October 8, 1950 in Taganrog ) is a Russian mathematician.
Kritschewer attended a special mathematical school in Moscow, won the silver medal at the International Mathematical Olympiad in 1967 and in the same year began studying mathematics at Lomonosov University , where he was a student of Sergei Petrovich Novikov and initially dealt with algebraic topology (cobordism theory) . In 1972 he received his doctorate there. Shortly afterwards he turned (like Nowikow) to integrable dynamic systems, which he treated with methods of algebraic geometry, in particular the periodic Korteweg-de-Vries equation(1974) and the periodic Kadomtsev-Petiashvili (KP) equation, followed by other nonlinear exactly integrable differential equations of mathematical physics. He worked closely with Nowikow, Dubrowin , VM Bucher . Several concepts are named after him here (Krichever genus, Krichever-Novikov equation and algebras).
He is a professor at the Landau Institute for Theoretical Physics in Moscow and at Columbia University . He also taught at the Independent University of Moscow and the Institute for Theoretical and Experimental Physics . In 1990 he was invited speaker at the International Congress of Mathematicians in Kyōto ( The periodic problem for two dimensional integrable systems ).
