Vadim Zudilin

Wadim Walentinowitsch Zudilin , Russian Вадим Валентинович Зудилин , (* 1970 in Beltsy , Moldova ) is a Russian number theorist.

Zulidin studied mathematics from 1987 onwards at Lomonossow University (diploma in 1992), where he received his doctorate in 1995 with Yuri Nesterenko with a dissertation on estimates of measures of linear independence for values ​​of some analytical functions. From 1996 he was an assistant professor and from 2000 an associate professor at Lomonosov University. He was also at the Steklow Institute . As a post-doctoral student , he received an Ostrowski scholarship in 1999 at the University of Paris VI (Inst. Math. De Jussieu) and at the Center Èmile Borel, and in 2003 as a Humboldt scholarship at the University of Cologne . In 2014 he completed his habilitation (Habilitation thesis: Apéry's theorem and problems for the values ​​of Riemann's zeta function and their q-analogues ). From 2009 he was at the University of Newcastle, Australia . In 2017 he became a professor at Radboud University Nijmegen .

From 1995 he is also in the publications department of the Russian Academy of Sciences, where he edits their mathematical grades.

From 2006 he was a regular visiting scientist at the Max Planck Institute for Mathematics .

Zudilin deals with transcendent and irrational numbers, zeta function values and values ​​of the multiple zeta function . He gave a new proof of the theorem of apery about the irrationality of and proved that at least one of the numbers , , , is irrational. For the latter result he received the Distinguished Award of the Indian Hardy Ramanujan Society in 2001. ${\displaystyle \zeta (3)}$ ${\displaystyle \zeta (5)}$ ${\displaystyle \zeta (7)}$ ${\displaystyle \zeta (9)}$ ${\displaystyle \zeta (11)}$

He is co-author of a book on Mahler measures and one on continued fractions.

In 2014 he received the G. de B. Robinson Award from the Canadian Mathematical Society .
