Leon Armenovich Takhtajyan

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Leon Armenowitsch Tachtadschjan ( Russian Леон Арменович Тахтаджян , English transcription Leon Takhtajan ; * 1950 ) is a Russian mathematical physicist.

Tachtadschjan, son of the Armenian-Soviet botanist Armen Tachtadschjan , received his doctorate in 1975 under Ludwig Faddejew at the Steklow Institute in Leningrad ( complete integrability of the equation ). He then went to the Steklov Institute in St. Petersburg and has been a professor at the State University of New York at Stony Brook (SUNY) since the 1990s . He is head of the mathematics faculty there. He is a fellow of the American Mathematical Society .

He deals with integrable systems of mathematical physics (such as soliton theory ) and applications of quantum field theories and models of string theory to algebraic geometry and complex analysis. Among other things, he investigated quantum field theories on algebraic curves and associated reciprocity laws, two-dimensional quantum gravity and Weil-Petersson geometry of the module space, the Kähler geometry of the universal Teichmüller space and trace formulas.

In 1983 he was invited speaker at the International Congress of Mathematicians in Warsaw ( Integrable models in classical and quantum field theory ).
