  • “To Be a Good Mathematician, You Need Inner Voice” ”Огонёкъ” Met with Yakov Sinai, One of the World’S Most Renowned Mathematicians
    “To be a good mathematician, you need inner voice” ”ОгонёкЪ” met with Yakov Sinai, one of the world’s most renowned mathematicians. As the new year begins, Russia intensifies the preparations for the International Congress of Mathematicians (ICM 2022), the main mathematical event of the near future. 1966 was the last time we welcomed the crème de la crème of mathematics in Moscow. “Огонёк” met with Yakov Sinai, one of the world’s top mathematicians who spoke at ICM more than once, and found out what he thinks about order and chaos in the modern world.1 Committed to science. Yakov Sinai's close-up. One of the most eminent mathematicians of our time, Yakov Sinai has spent most of his life studying order and chaos, a research endeavor at the junction of probability theory, dynamical systems theory, and mathematical physics. Born into a family of Moscow scientists on September 21, 1935, Yakov Sinai graduated from the department of Mechanics and Mathematics (‘Mekhmat’) of Moscow State University in 1957. Andrey Kolmogorov’s most famous student, Sinai contributed to a wealth of mathematical discoveries that bear his and his teacher’s names, such as Kolmogorov-Sinai entropy, Sinai’s billiards, Sinai’s random walk, and more. From 1998 to 2002, he chaired the Fields Committee which awards one of the world’s most prestigious medals every four years. Yakov Sinai is a winner of nearly all coveted mathematical distinctions: the Abel Prize (an equivalent of the Nobel Prize for mathematicians), the Kolmogorov Medal, the Moscow Mathematical Society Award, the Boltzmann Medal, the Dirac Medal, the Dannie Heineman Prize, the Wolf Prize, the Jürgen Moser Prize, the Henri Poincaré Prize, and more.

    THE PICARD SCHEME STEVEN L. KLEIMAN Abstract. This article introduces, informally, the substance and the spirit of Grothendieck’s theory of the Picard scheme, highlighting its elegant simplicity, natural generality, and ingenious originality against the larger historical record. 1. Introduction A scientific biography should be written in which we indicate the “flow” of mathematics ... discussing a certain aspect of Grothendieck’s work, indicating possible roots, then describing the leap Grothendieck made from those roots to general ideas, and finally setting forth the impact of those ideas. Frans Oort [60, p. 2] Alexander Grothendieck sketched his proof of the existence of the Picard scheme in his February 1962 Bourbaki talk. Then, in his May 1962 Bourbaki talk, he sketched his proofs of various general properties of the scheme. Shortly afterwards, these two talks were reprinted in [31], commonly known as FGA, along with his commentaries, which included statements of nine finiteness theorems that refine the single finiteness theorem in his May talk and answer several related questions. However, Grothendieck had already defined the Picard scheme, via the functor it represents, on pp.195-15,16 of his February 1960 Bourbaki talk. Furthermore, on p.212-01 of his February 1961 Bourbaki talk, he had announced that the scheme can be constructed by combining results on quotients sketched in that talk along with results on the Hilbert scheme to be sketched in his forthcoming May 1961 Bourbaki talk. Those three talks plus three earlier talks, which prepare the way, were also reprinted in [31]. arXiv:1402.0409v1 [math.HO] 3 Feb 2014 Moreover, Grothendieck noted in [31, p.

    Saggi e Studi ‘Ero stato uno dei primi professori medi d’Italia, divenni l’ultimo’ Emilio Artom (1888-1952) * ** ERIKA LUCIANO - LUCA LOTITO 1. Dispensati dal servizio1 Nel 2018 ricorreva l’ottantesimo anniversario della promulgazione delle leggi razziali che - com’è noto - costituiscono una delle pagine più vergognose della nostra storia recente e al contempo uno dei peggiori crimini compiuti dal regime fascista. Precedute dalla pubblicazione del Manifesto della razza e dal censimento della minoranza ebraica condotto nell’estate del 1938, le leggi razziali ratificano l'antisemitismo di Stato e privano gli ebrei italiani dei diritti politici e civili conquistati in epoca risorgimentale, condannandoli a divenire ‘una casta di paria’2. A seguito dei decreti del 5 settembre e del 17 novembre 1938, circa 170 insegnanti e presidi sono dispensati dal servizio, altrettanti professori universitari perdono la cattedra3 e sono espulsi da ogni accademia e società scientifica4, migliaia di studenti sono cacciati dalle scuole di ogni ordine e grado5 e l’uso di libri di testo di autori di razza ebraica è proibito in tutti gli istituti statali (quest’ultimo provvedimento è noto come la cosiddetta procedura di bonifica libraria)6. Le dimensioni della discriminazione sono di drammatica rilevanza per la scienza e per la matematica italiana, che perdono figure del calibro di Giuseppe Levi, Giacomo Mario Levi, Bruno Rossi, Emilio Segré, Enrico Fermi, Vito Volterra, Tullio Levi-Civita, e molti altri ancora7.

  • Rostislav Grigorchuk Texas A&M University
    CLAREMONT CENTER for MATHEMATICAL SCIENCES CCMSCOLLOQUIUM On Gap Conjecture for group growth and related topics by Rostislav Grigorchuk Texas A&M University Abstract: In this talk we will present a survey of results around the Gap Conjecture which was formulated by thep speaker in 1989. The conjecture states that if growth of a finitely generated group is less than e n, then it is polynomial. If proved, it will be a far reaching improvement of the Gromov's remarkable theorem describing groups of polynomial growth as virtually nilpotent groups. Old and new results around conjecture and its weaker and stronger forms will be formulated and discussed. About the speaker: Professor Grigorchuk received his undergraduate degree in 1975 and Ph.D. in 1978, both from Moscow State University, and a habilitation (Doctor of Science) degree in 1985 at the Steklov Institute of Mathematics in Moscow. During the 1980s and 1990s, Rostislav Grigorchuk held positions in Moscow, and in 2002 joined the faculty of Texas A&M University, where he is now a Distinguished Professor of Mathematics. Grigorchuk is especially famous for his celebrated construction of the first example of a finitely generated group of intermediate growth, thus answering an important problem posed by John Milnor in 1968. This group is now known as the Grigorchuk group, and is one of the important objects studied in geometric group theory. Grigorchuk has written over 100 research papers and monographs, had a number of Ph.D. students and postdocs, and serves on editorial boards of eight journals. He has given numerous talks and presentations, including an invited address at the 1990 International Congress of Mathematicians in Kyoto, an AMS Invited Address at the March 2004 meeting of the AMS in Athens, Ohio, and a plenary talk at the 2004 Winter Meeting of the Canadian Mathematical Society.

    THE INVERSE APPROACH TO DIRAC-TYPE SYSTEMS BASED ON THE A-FUNCTION CONCEPT FRITZ GESZTESY AND ALEXANDER SAKHNOVICH Abstract. The principal objective in this paper is a new inverse approach to general Dirac-type systems of the form ′ y (x,z)= i(zJ + JV (x))y(x,z) (x ≥ 0), ⊤ where y = (y1,...,ym) and (for m1, m2 ∈ N) Im1 0m1×m2 0m1 v J = , V = ∗ , m1 + m2 =: m, 0m2×m1 −Im2 v 0m2 m ×m for v ∈ C1([0, ∞)) 1 2 , modeled after B. Simon’s 1999 inverse approach to half-line Schr¨odinger operators. In particular, we derive the A-equation associated to this Dirac-type system in the (z-independent) form x ∂ ∂ ∗ A(x,ℓ)= A(x,ℓ)+ A(x − t, ℓ)A(0,ℓ) A(t, ℓ) dt (x ≥ 0,ℓ ≥ 0). ∂ℓ ∂x ˆ0 Given the fundamental positivity condition ST > 0 in (1.14) (cf. (1.13) for details), we prove that this integro-differential equation for A( · , · ) is uniquely solvable for initial conditions 1 m ×m A( · , 0) = A( · ) ∈ C ([0, ∞)) 2 1 , m ×m and the corresponding potential coefficient v ∈ C1([0, ∞)) 1 2 can be recovered from A( · , · ) via ∗ v(ℓ) = −iA(0,ℓ) (ℓ ≥ 0).
