Career

Alexander Kiselev received his bachelor's degree in 1992 from Saint Petersburg State University and his PhD in 1997 from Caltech under supervision of Barry Simon. In 1997-1998 he was a postdoctoral fellow at the Mathematical Sciences Research Institute, where he co-authored a paper on Christ–Kiselev maximal inequality. Between 1998 and 2002 he was an E. Dickson Instructor and then assistant professor at the University of Chicago where he worked with Peter Constantin on reaction-diffusion equations and fluid mechanics. In 2001, Kiselev solved one of the Simon problems, on existence of imbedded singular continuous spectrum of the Schrödinger operator with slowly decaying potential. [2] [3] [4] [5] He taught at the University of Wisconsin-Madison from 2002 to 2013, as an associate and full professor. He was a member of the Rice University faculty between 2013 and 2017. Since 2018, Kiselev is a William T. Laprade Professor of Mathematics at Duke University. His research has been profiled by Science Watch, [6] Institute for Mathematics and its Applications, [7] Duke Today [8] and Quanta Magazine [9]

Mathematical physics refers to the development of mathematical methods for application to problems in physics. The Journal of Mathematical Physics defines the field as "the application of mathematics to problems in physics and the development of mathematical methods suitable for such applications and for the formulation of physical theories". An alternative definition would also include those mathematics that are inspired by physics, known as physical mathematics.

In mathematics, the Simon problems are a series of fifteen questions posed in the year 2000 by Barry Simon, an American mathematical physicist. Inspired by other collections of mathematical problems and open conjectures, such as the famous list by David Hilbert, the Simon problems concern quantum operators. Eight of the problems pertain to anomalous spectral behavior of Schrödinger operators, and five concern operators that incorporate the Coulomb potential.
