Mark Iossifowitsch Freidlin
Mark Iossifowitsch Freidlin ( Russian Марк Иосифович Фрейдлин ; * 1938 in Moscow ) is a Russian-American mathematician ( stochastics , analysis ) and professor at the University of Maryland .
Freidlin received his doctorate in 1962 under Eugene Dynkin at Lomonossow University . In 1970 he received his habilitation (Russian doctorate). At that time there was an increasingly anti-Semitic climate in the Faculty of Mathematics and Mechanics and he switched to the Faculty of Biology with the support of Andrei Kolmogorow . In 1979 he applied to leave the country and was not employed for eight years. In 1987 he moved to the University of Maryland . In 2000 he became a Distinguished Professor there.
He is one of the founders of the theory of large deviations in stochastic processes (theorem of Freidlin and Wentzell). He deals with stochastic partial differential equations and dynamic systems.
In 1998 he was invited speaker at the International Congress of Mathematicians in Berlin (Random and deterministic perturbations of nonlinear oscillators).
In 2012 he became a Fellow of the American Mathematical Society . Jürgen Gärtner is one of his doctoral students .
