Mejer Felixowitsch Bokschtein

Mejer Felixowitsch Bokschtein ( Russian Меер Феликсович Бокштейн , often quoted Meir Bockstein or Meyer Bockstein and Bokstein; * October 4, 1913 in Moscow ; † May 2, 1990 ) was a Soviet mathematician who dealt with algebraic topology .

Bockstein studied at Lomonossow University with his degree in 1936 and received his doctorate in 1942 (Russian doctorate, corresponding to a habilitation). In 1947 he became a professor. He taught at the Moscow Pedagogical Institute.

He has published on topology since the early 1940s.

He is known for concepts such as the Bockstein sequence and the associated Bockstein homomorphism in topology. The Bockstein spectral sequence is also named after him.
