Yuri Walentinowitsch Nesterenko ( Russian Юрий Валентинович Нестеренко , English transliteration Yuri Valentinovich Nesterenko; born December 5, 1946 in Kharkiv ) is a Russian mathematician who deals with number theory.

Nesterenko received his doctorate in 1973 under Andrei Schidlowski at the Lomonossow University in Moscow ( On some properties of solutions to linear differential equations and their application in the theory of transcendent numbers ), where he is now professor and head of the chair for number theory.

Nesterenko works on the theory of algebraic independence and the theory of transcendent numbers and made important progress there. So he proved the algebraic independence of and (both transcendent numbers) using modular functions . In 1999 he also showed the transcendence of for positive integers d.

In 1997 he received the Ostrowski Prize and the Prize of the Hardy Ramanujan Society of India. In 2003 he was awarded the Humboldt Research Prize and in 2006 the Markow Prize of the Russian Academy of Sciences . Nesterenko is a Corresponding Member of the Russian Academy of Sciences. In 1990 he was invited speaker at the International Congress of Mathematicians in Kyōto ( Algebraic independence of values ​​of analytic functions ).

Wadim Zudilin is one of his PhD students .
