Стр. 2 из 21 13.08.2018, 9:13 Persons: Popov Vladimir Leonidovich http://www.mathnet.ru/php/person.phtml?&personid=8935&option_la... ● Creation of a new direction in Invariant theory—classifying linear actions with certain exceptional properties, e.g., with a free algebra of invariants (jointly with V. G. Kac and E. B. Vinberg), with a free module of covariants, with an equidimensional quotient, and the others. Developing the appropriate methods and obtaining the classifications themselves. Finiteness theorems for the actions with a fixed length of the chain of syzygies (1976–83). The ideology of exceptional properties has then became wide spreaded. ● Solution to the generalized Hilbert’s 14th problem (1979). ● The estimates of the degrees of basic invariants of connected semisimple linear groups first obtained 100 years after the attempt by Hilbert to obtain them (1981–82). They gave rise to
