Pavel Bleher

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Pavel M. Bleher ( Russian Павел Максимович Блехер , transcribed Pawel Maximowitsch Blecher ; * 1947 ) is a Russian-American mathematical physicist and probability theorist .

Bleher won the International Mathematical Olympiad in Berlin in 1965 as a student. He studied at Lomonosov University , where he graduated in 1970. In 1974 he received his doctorate under Jakow Grigoryevich Sinai at the Institute for Applied Mathematics of the Soviet Academy of Sciences ( study of the second-order phase transitions in some models of ferromagnetism ). In 1984 he completed his habilitation (Russian doctorate) at the University of Vilnius ( limit values ​​for the asymptotics of large deviations in the case of strongly dependent random variables ). From 1974 he was a scientist at the Institute for Applied Mathematics of the Soviet Academy of Sciences. 1990 to 1993 was a professor at Tel Aviv University and 1992 to 1994 at the Institute for Advanced Study . From 1994 he was a professor at Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis . He's Chancellor's professor there .

He dealt with the strict mathematical treatment of critical phenomena and phase transitions in statistical mechanics ( renormalization group theory ) and with quantum chaos, random matrices, about which he was co-leader of a workshop at MSRI in 2001 , and polynomials with random coefficients.

Among other things, he was visiting scholar at the Isaac Newton Institute , ETH Zurich , the Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences of New York University , the University of Rome (La Sapienza), the CEA's nuclear research center in Saclay , the École normal supérieure , the CRM in Montreal, from the Catholic University of Leuven, the Fields Institute in Toronto, Rutgers University , SUNY , the Mathematical Institute of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences in Budapest and the Center for Theoretical Physics in Luminy-Marseille.
