iopscience.org/msb Highlights from the past 150 years Matematicheskii Sbornik was established in 1866 during the process of transforming a mathematical circle, founded by Professor N. D. Brashman from Moscow University in 1864, into the Moscow Mathematical Society. The first issue of the journal appeared in October 1866. Since its inception, the journal has become a leading publication in disseminating original research papers containing full results in the author’s field of study. Many eminent mathematicians have been among the editors-in-chief and board members of the journal. Sbornik: Mathematics is the English translation of the Russian monthly journal Matematicheskii Sbornik. It has been published since 1967. From 1995, Sbornik: Mathematics has been published jointly by Turpion Ltd, the London Mathematical Society, and the Russian Academy of Sciences. We have created this brochure to showcase the best content published in the journal by scientists from the worldwide maths community and to celebrate the 150th anniversary of Matematicheskii Sbornik. We hope you enjoy it.

Scientific pioneers The history of Matematicheskii Sbornik stretches back over 150 years. During this time, the journal has played a vital role in the development of mathematical sciences in Russia and worldwide. Matematicheskii Sbornik lists many eminent mathematicians among its editors and authors. The founder of the journal Nikolay Brashman 14 June 1796 – 13 May 1866 The journal’s founder was a Russian mathematician of Austrian origin. Brashman was born in Neu-Rausnitz in the Austrian Empire (now Rousínov in the Czech Republic) and studied at the University of Vienna and Vienna Polytechnic Institute. In 1824 he moved to St Petersburg in Russia and accepted a position at Kazan University, and in 1834 he became a professor of applied mathematics at Moscow University. There he is best remembered as a founder of the Moscow Mathematical Society and its journal Matematicheskii Sbornik. Brashman was awarded the Demidov Prize in mathematics in 1838 for his paper “The theory of equilibria of rigid and fluid bodies, or statics and hydrostatics”. Most prominent editors of the journal Otto Schmidt 30 September 1891 – 7 September 1956 Schmidt was a Russian scientist in mathematics, astronomy and geophysics. A celebrated explorer of the Arctic and a founder of the Moscow Algebra School, he suggested a new cosmogonic hypothesis on the formation of the Earth and the other planets of the Solar System. Ivan Petrovskii 18 January 1901 – 15 January 1973 A Russian mathematician, prominent statesman of Soviet education and Chancellor of Lomonosov Moscow State University (1951 – 1973), Petrovskii worked mainly in the field of partial differential equations. He greatly contributed to the solution of Hilbert’s 19th and 16th problems, and discovered what are now called Petrovskii lacunas. Lev Pontryagin 3 September 1908 – 3 May 1988 Pontryagin was a Russian mathematician, academician and founder of the mathematical optimal control theory based on Pontryagin’s maximum principle. He made major discoveries in a number of fields of mathematics, including algebraic and differential topology. Andrey Gonchar 21 November 1931 – 10 October 2012 Russian mathematician Andrey Gonchar was vice-president of the Russian Academy of Sciences (1991 – 1998), a prominent organizer of science, and Laureate of the Demidov Prize in mathematics and Keldysh’s Gold Medal winner. He was the founder of the world-famous scientific school on the theory of approximations of analytical functions. Authors – outstanding contributors to Matematicheskii Sbornik Pafnuty Chebyshev Chebyshev was a Russian mathematician and mechanician known for 1821 – 1894 his work in the fields of the theory of probability, statistics, mechanics and number theory, and also for the Chebyshev polynomials and the Chebyshev bias. Andrey Markov Best known for his work on stochastic processes, mathematical 1856 – 1922 analysis and number theory, Russian mathematician Markov’s primary research subject later became known as Markov chains and Markov processes. Vladimir Steklov Steklov was a Russian mathematician, mechanician and physicist, 1864 – 1926 and the founder and first director of the Physical and Mathematical Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences, which was divided into separate mathematical and physical institutes in 1934. In his memory, the former was named the Steklov Mathematical Institute. Steklov’s primary scientific contribution was in mathematical physics and orthogonal series. Hermann Minkowski German mathematician Minkowski created and developed the geometry 1864 – 1909 theory of numbers and used geometrical methods to solve problems in number theory, mathematical physics and the theory of relativity. He is best known for his contribution in the geometry four-dimensional model of the special theory of relativity, since known as “The Geometry of Minkowski Spacetime”. Emmy Noether Noether was a German mathematician known for her landmark 1882 – 1935 contributions to abstract algebra and theoretical physics. She has been described as the most important woman in the history of mathematics, and as one of the leading mathematicians of her time, she developed the theories of rings, fields and algebras. In physics, Noether’s theorem explains the connection between symmetry and conservation laws. John Edensor A British mathematician best known for his achievements in Littlewood mathematical analysis, number theory and differential equations, 1885 – 1977 Littlewood was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society in 1916, awarded the Royal Medal in 1929, the Sylvester Medal in 1943 and the Copley Medal in 1958. He was president of the London Mathematical Society from 1941 to 1943, and was awarded the De Morgan Medal in 1938 and the Senior Berwick Prize in 1960. Ivan Vinogradov Vinogradov was a Russian mathematician who was one of the creators 1891 – 1983 of modern analytic number theory. He became director of the Steklov Mathematical Institute in 1934, and apart from a five-year period between 1941 and 1946, he held this position for the rest of his life. Nikolay Bogolyubov A Russian mathematician and theoretical physicist known for his 1909 – 1992 significant contribution to quantum field theory, classical and quantum statistical mechanics, and the theory of dynamical systems, Bogolyubov was a winner of the Dirac Prize in 1992. Andrey Kolmogorov One of the founders of the modern theory of probability, Russian 1903 – 1987 mathematician Andrey Kolmogorov made a great contribution to many areas of mathematics and its applications, including mathematical analysis, topology, dynamic systems, turbulence, classical mechanics, algorithmic information theory and computational complexity. John von Neumann von Neumann was a Hungarian–American pure and applied 1903 – 1957 mathematician, physicist, inventor and polymath. He was a pioneer of the application of operator theory to quantum mechanics and in the development of functional analysis. He was also a principal member of the Manhattan Project and the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, and a key figure in the development of game theory and the concepts of cellular automata, the universal constructor and the digital computer. Leonid Kantorovich A Russian mathematician and economist known for his theory and 1912 – 1986 development of techniques for the optimal allocation of resources, Kantorovich is regarded as the founder of linear programming and was a winner of the Nobel Prize in Economics in 1975. Israel Gelfand Gelfand was a Russian mathematician who made major contributions 1913 – 2009 to many branches of mathematics, including Lie group theory, representation theory and functional analysis. .

    “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.

    Excerpts from Kolmogorov's Diary

    Asia Pacific Mathematics Newsletter Excerpts from Kolmogorov’s Diary Translated by Fedor Duzhin Introduction At the age of 40, Andrey Nikolaevich Kolmogorov (1903–1987) began a diary. He wrote on the title page: “Dedicated to myself when I turn 80 with the wish of retaining enough sense by then, at least to be able to understand the notes of this 40-year-old self and to judge them sympathetically but strictly”. The notes from 1943–1945 were published in Russian in 2003 on the 100th anniversary of the birth of Kolmogorov as part of the opus Kolmogorov — a three-volume collection of articles about him. The following are translations of a few selected records from the Kolmogorov’s diary (Volume 3, pages 27, 28, 36, 95). Sunday, 1 August 1943. New Moon 6:30 am. It is a little misty and yet a sunny morning. Pusya1 and Oleg2 have gone swimming while I stay home being not very well (though my condition is improving). Anya3 has to work today, so she will not come. I’m feeling annoyed and ill at ease because of that (for the second time our Sunday “readings” will be conducted without Anya). Why begin this notebook now? There are two reasonable explanations: 1) I have long been attracted to the idea of a diary as a disciplining force. To write down what has been done and what changes are needed in one’s life and to control their implementation is by no means a new idea, but it’s equally relevant whether one is 16 or 40 years old.

  • Randomness and Computation

    Randomness and Computation

    Randomness and Computation Rod Downey School of Mathematics and Statistics, Victoria University, PO Box 600, Wellington, New Zealand [email protected] Abstract This article examines work seeking to understand randomness using com- putational tools. The focus here will be how these studies interact with classical mathematics, and progress in the recent decade. A few representa- tive and easier proofs are given, but mainly we will refer to the literature. The article could be seen as a companion to, as well as focusing on develop- ments since, the paper “Calibrating Randomness” from 2006 which focused more on how randomness calibrations correlated to computational ones. 1 Introduction The great Russian mathematician Andrey Kolmogorov appears several times in this paper, First, around 1930, Kolmogorov and others founded the theory of probability, basing it on measure theory. Kolmogorov’s foundation does not seek to give any meaning to the notion of an individual object, such as a single real number or binary string, being random, but rather studies the expected values of random variables. As we learn at school, all strings of length n have the same probability of 2−n for a fair coin. A set consisting of a single real has probability zero. Thus there is no meaning we can ascribe to randomness of a single object. Yet we have a persistent intuition that certain strings of coin tosses are less random than others. The goal of the theory of algorithmic randomness is to give meaning to randomness content for individual objects. Quite aside from the intrinsic mathematical interest, the utility of this theory is that using such objects instead distributions might be significantly simpler and perhaps giving alternative insight into what randomness might mean in mathematics, and perhaps in nature.

    Algebraic Topology - Wikipedia, the Free Encyclopedia Page 1 of 5

    Algebraic topology - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Page 1 of 5 Algebraic topology From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Algebraic topology is a branch of mathematics which uses tools from abstract algebra to study topological spaces. The basic goal is to find algebraic invariants that classify topological spaces up to homeomorphism, though usually most classify up to homotopy equivalence. Although algebraic topology primarily uses algebra to study topological problems, using topology to solve algebraic problems is sometimes also possible. Algebraic topology, for example, allows for a convenient proof that any subgroup of a free group is again a free group. Contents 1 The method of algebraic invariants 2 Setting in category theory 3 Results on homology 4 Applications of algebraic topology 5 Notable algebraic topologists 6 Important theorems in algebraic topology 7 See also 8 Notes 9 References 10 Further reading The method of algebraic invariants An older name for the subject was combinatorial topology , implying an emphasis on how a space X was constructed from simpler ones (the modern standard tool for such construction is the CW-complex ). The basic method now applied in algebraic topology is to investigate spaces via algebraic invariants by mapping them, for example, to groups which have a great deal of manageable structure in a way that respects the relation of homeomorphism (or more general homotopy) of spaces. This allows one to recast statements about topological spaces into statements about groups, which are often easier to prove. Two major ways in which this can be done are through fundamental groups, or more generally homotopy theory, and through homology and cohomology groups.

  • Fundamental Theorems in Mathematics

    Fundamental Theorems in Mathematics

    SOME FUNDAMENTAL THEOREMS IN MATHEMATICS OLIVER KNILL Abstract. An expository hitchhikers guide to some theorems in mathematics. Criteria for the current list of 243 theorems are whether the result can be formulated elegantly, whether it is beautiful or useful and whether it could serve as a guide [6] without leading to panic. The order is not a ranking but ordered along a time-line when things were writ- ten down. Since [556] stated “a mathematical theorem only becomes beautiful if presented as a crown jewel within a context" we try sometimes to give some context. Of course, any such list of theorems is a matter of personal preferences, taste and limitations. The num- ber of theorems is arbitrary, the initial obvious goal was 42 but that number got eventually surpassed as it is hard to stop, once started. As a compensation, there are 42 “tweetable" theorems with included proofs. More comments on the choice of the theorems is included in an epilogue. For literature on general mathematics, see [193, 189, 29, 235, 254, 619, 412, 138], for history [217, 625, 376, 73, 46, 208, 379, 365, 690, 113, 618, 79, 259, 341], for popular, beautiful or elegant things [12, 529, 201, 182, 17, 672, 673, 44, 204, 190, 245, 446, 616, 303, 201, 2, 127, 146, 128, 502, 261, 172].

La teor´ıade CO ofrece m´etodos para derivar una trayectoria de control que minimiza (o maximiza) ese criterio. Esta Tesis trata la aplicaci´ondel CO en automoci´on,y especialmente en el motor de combusti´oninterna. Las herramientas necesarias son un m´etodo de optimizaci´ony una representaci´onmatem´aticade la planta motriz. Para ello, se realiza un an´alisiscuantitativo de las ventajas e inconvenientes de los tres m´etodos de optimizaci´onexistentes en la literatura: programaci´ondin´amica, principio m´ınimode Pontryagin y m´etodos directos. Se desarrollan y describen los algoritmos para implementar estos m´etodos as´ıcomo un modelo de planta motriz, validado experimentalmente, que incluye la din´amicalongitudinal del veh´ıculo,modelos para el motor el´ectricoy las bater´ıas,y un modelo de motor de combusti´onde valores medios.
