Israel Markowitsch Glasman

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Israel Markovich Glasman , Russian Израиль Маркович Глазман , English transcription Israel Markovich Glazman, (born December 21, 1916 in Odessa ; † May 30, 1968 ) was a Soviet mathematician who dealt with functional analysis .

Life

Glazman went to school in Odessa and was friends with Moshe Livsic there . Both studied at the University of Odessa with Mark Kerin . After graduation, he was drafted in 1940 and fought as an artillery officer in Stalingrad, Kursk and Kiev, among others, until the end of World War II. After the end of the Second World War, the school of functional analysts in Odessa von Kerin was closed and in 1946 he went to Naum Ilyich Achijeser (Akhiezer) at the University of Kharkiv in the department of mathematical physics, which he headed from 1955. In 1949 he received his doctorate from Achijeser (candidate title) and in 1958 he completed his habilitation (Russian doctorate).

He is the co-author of Achiejeser, a well-known monograph on linear operators in Hilbert spaces, one of the first textbooks in this field after the monographs of the pioneers Marshall Stone and John von Neumann . It first appeared in 1950, the second edition in 1966 and 1977/78, greatly expanded in two volumes. It also included Glazman's own research on spectral theory of differential operators from his PhD thesis.

Since he was active in the Jewish community (he protested against the desecration of Jewish cemeteries, among other things), helped Jewish students and openly sympathized with Israel, he was persecuted in the Soviet Union. The persecution affected his health and resulted in his suicide in 1968.
