from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Senon Iwanowitsch Borewitsch ( Russian Зенон Иванович Боревич ; English transcription Zenon Ivanovich Borevich; Polish Borewicz, born November 7, 1922 in Susly, Zhytomyr Oblast ; † February 26, 1995 ) was a Russian mathematician who worked on number theory.

Borevich, who was of Polish descent, was a student of Dmitri Konstantinowitsch Faddejew at Leningrad University . From 1963 to 1992 he was a professor at the Leningrad State University and at the Steklov Institute in Leningrad.

Borewitsch dealt with algebraic number theory (theory of local bodies and Galois representations), representation theory of groups over p-adic bodies (with Faddejew) and theory of linear groups, homological algebra (from the end of the 1940s with Faddejew, who developed the concepts independently of Samuel Eilenberg and Saunders MacLane introduced in the West). With Igor Schafarewitsch he wrote the famous textbook number theory (1964, German by Birkhäuser 1966, English Academic Press 1966).

Sergei Wladimirowitsch Vostokow is one of his doctoral students .
