Viktor Pavlovich Maslow

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Viktor Pawlowitsch Maslow ( Russian Виктор Павлович Маслов , English Victor Maslov ; born June 15, 1930 in Moscow ) is a Russian mathematician and mathematical physicist .

Act

Maslow was known for developing the theory of the Maslov Index in the 1970s, an adiabatic invariant of classical dynamic systems, originally developed as part of WKB approximation.

He deals with various questions of theoretical and mathematical physics, in particular the quantization of classical systems, quantum statistics and quantum field theory, solitons. He is a professor at Lomonossow University in Moscow, where he is head of the department of quantum statistics and quantum field theory.

He has been a member of the Russian Academy of Sciences since 1984 and received the Russian State Prize. In 1982 he received the Lyapunov Gold Medal and in 1985 the Lenin Prize for his work on global asymptotic methods in the theory of linear partial differential equations . In 1983 he gave a plenary lecture at the ICM in Warsaw ( Non-Standard-Characteristics in Asymptotical Problems ) and in 1970 he was invited speaker at the ICM in Nice ( The characteristics of pseudo-differential operators and difference schemes ). In 2000 he received the Demidow Prize .

  1. ↑ that means approximately invariant, with slow change over time. The Maslov index is a whole or half number and counts the number of points of intersection (with sign) of the orbits of the dynamic system with caustics , or the phase jump of waves along caustics (projection singularities of the wavefront). The name comes from Vladimir Arnold .
