Michail Michailowitsch Postnikow ( Russian Михаил Михайлович Постников ; English transcription Mikhail Mikhailovich Postnikov; born October 27, 1927 in Shatura near Moscow ; † May 27, 2004 in Moscow) was a Russian mathematician who dealt with topology .
Postnikow was a specialist in algebraic topology and differential topology. He did his doctorate with Lev Pontryagin at Lomonossow University , where he was also a professor. In the 1990s he was at the University of Oklahoma .
In 1951 he introduced Postnikov systems for path-related spaces, with which topological spaces and their homology groups can be constructed from their homotopy groups.
Sergei Petrovich Novikov is one of his doctoral students .
Like Fomenko , he dealt with chronological criticism .
