Zinovy Reichstein
Zinovy Reichstein (* 1961 ) is a Russian-born Canadian mathematician who studies algebra , algebraic geometry and algebraic groups.
Reichstein received his doctorate from Michael Artin at Harvard University in 1988 ( The Behavior of Stability under Equivariant Maps ). He was at the University of California, Berkeley and is a professor at the University of British Columbia .
In 1997 he and Joe Buhler introduced the concept of the essential dimension , originally for extensions of finite fields, but since then, among others, Reichstein himself has extended it to other algebraic objects. They indicate the minimum number of independent parameters to define the object.
In 2012 he became a Fellow of the American Mathematical Society . In 2013 he received the Jeffery Williams Prize . In 2010 he was an "Invited Speaker" at the International Congress of Mathematicians in Hyderabad ( Essential Dimension ).
He is co-editor of Transformation Groups magazine .
