Nikolai Reshetichin 2006

Nikolai Jurjewitsch Reschetichin ( Russian: Николай Юрьевич Решетихин ; English transcription Nicolai Yurevich Reshetikhin; born October 10, 1958 in Leningrad ) is a Russian mathematician.

Reshetichin studied at the University of Saint Petersburg , where he graduated in 1982. In 1984 he received his doctorate at the Steklow Institute in Leningrad under Ludwig Faddejew in mathematical physics (Analytical Bethe approach ). He is currently a professor at the University of California, Berkeley and also at the University of Amsterdam and at the Chair of Quantum Mechanics at the University of Saint Petersburg.

Reshetichin deals with low-dimensional topology , representation theory of groups and especially quantum groups . Here in the 1980s he was one of the pioneers (with Vaughan Jones , Edward Witten , Wladimir Turajew ) in quantum topology, which provides, for example, invariants for nodes in three-dimensional geometric topology.

In 1988 he won the St. Petersburg Mathematical Society's Prize for Young Mathematicians . In 2008 he gave a plenary lecture at the European Congress of Mathematicians in Amsterdam ( Topological quantum field theory - 20 years later ). In 2010 he gave a plenary lecture at the International Congress of Mathematicians in Hyderabad ( Mathematics of Quantum Field Theory ) and in 1990 he was invited speaker at the ICM in Kyōto ( Invariants of Links and 3-manifolds related to quantum groups ). From 1992 to 1994 he was a Sloan Research Fellow .
