Vladimir Gilelevich Masja

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Wladimir Gilelevich Masja ( Russian Владимир Гилелевич Мазья , English Vladimir Gilelevich Maz'ya ; born  December 31, 1937 in Leningrad ) is a Russian mathematician who mainly deals with the theory of partial differential equations.

Masja witnessed the siege of Leningrad (his father died there in World War II and both of his grandfathers died during the siege). As a schoolboy, he won first prizes at the local math Olympiads in Leningrad. In 1955 he began to study at the University of Leningrad a . a. at Solomon Michlin . His first publication appeared in 1959, and he graduated in 1960. In 1962 he received an award as the best young mathematician of the Leningrad Mathematical Society and he received his doctorate at Lomonosov University (candidate) and in 1965 he completed his habilitation (Russian doctorate) in Leningrad. From 1960 to 1986 he was a scientist at the Institute for Mathematics and Mechanics at the University of Leningrad and from 1968 to 1972 also a professor at the Shipbuilding Institute. In 1986 he went to the newly established Leningrad Institute of Engineering Studies of the Russian Academy of Sciences , where he headed the department of mathematical models of mechanics. Masja emigrated to Sweden in 1990, where he has been a professor in Linköping since 1993 . Since 2004 he has also been a professor at Liverpool University . From 2004 to 2008 he was a professor at Ohio State University . He was u. a. Visiting professor at the École polytechnique , at the Institut Henri Poincaré in Paris and at the Schrödinger Institute in Vienna .

Masja worked a. a. in the theory of Sobolev spaces (where he found connections with geometric isoperimetric inequalities), the theory of capacities and in hydrodynamics (theory of water waves, Navier-Stokes equations in areas with irregular edges, stationary flow in three dimensions with a free surface ). At the end of the 1960s, independently of Ennio de Giorgi, he found counterexamples for Hilbert's 19th and 20th problem. He also worked on elasticity theory, nonlinear potential theory, approximation theory, wavelets, spectral theory, asymptotic and boundary value problems of partial differential equations, and numerical methods for partial differential equations.

He is married to the mathematician Tatiana Olegovna Shaposhnikova . With her he wrote a biography of Jacques Hadamard .

In 1999 he received the Humboldt Research Prize and in 2003 the Verdaguer Prize of the French Academy of Sciences. In 1990 he received an honorary doctorate from the University of Rostock . In 2004 he received the Celsius Medal from the Royal Society of Sciences in Uppsala . He is a member of the Royal Society of Edinburgh and the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences. In 2009 he received the Senior Whitehead Prize . In 2002 he was invited speaker at the International Congress of Mathematicians in Beijing ( The Wiener test for higher order elliptic equations ). He is a fellow of the American Mathematical Society .
