Vladimir Georgievich Turajew
Wladimir Georgijewitsch Turajew ( Russian Владимир Георгиевич Тураев ; English transcription Vladimir Turaev, born October 17, 1954 ) is a Russian mathematician who deals with topology .
Turajew received his doctorate in 1979 under Oleg Yanovich Wiro at the Steklov Institute in Leningrad . He was a professor at the University of Louis Pasteur in Strasbourg and then at Indiana University . He is a fellow of the American Mathematical Society .
Turajew deals with low-dimensional topology and knot theory and in this context with topological quantum field theories . Topological invariants in this area are named after him and Reshetichin or Wiro.
In 1990 he was invited speaker at the International Congress of Mathematicians in Kyōto ( State sum models in low dimensional topology ). For 2016 he was awarded the Ferran Sunyer i Balaguer Prize together with Alexis Virelizier .
