Victor Ginzburg
Victor Ginzburg (* 1957 ) is an originally Russian mathematician who teaches in the USA and who deals with representation theory and non-commutative geometry.
Ginzburg originally wanted to become a nuclear physicist, but according to his own words, he switched to mathematics because, as a Jew in the Soviet Union, this path was blocked for him. Ginzburg received his doctorate from Lomonossow University in Moscow in 1985 with Israel Gelfand and Alexandre Kirillov . He was then a scientist at the Schmid Institute for Earth Physics of the Soviet Academy of Sciences. In 1994 he became a professor at the University of Chicago . He was visiting professor at Harvard University and the Institute for Advanced Study .
Among other things, he worked on the geometric representation theory of quantum groups and Hecke algebras, symplectic reflection algebras, Calabi-Yau algebras and Koszul dualities in representations of Lie algebras and in operads. In 1986 he was invited speaker at the International Congress of Mathematicians in Berkeley (Geometrical aspects of representation theory).
