Last updated

Anton Yurevich Alekseev (Антон Юрьевич Алексеев, born 9 August 1967) is a Russian mathematician.

Contents

Alekseev was a student of Ludvig Faddeev. Alekseev worked at the Steklov Institute in Saint Petersburg and, at the beginning of the 1990s, at Uppsala University, Sweden. He is now a professor ordinarius at the University of Geneva. [1]

Alekseev does research on representation theory of Lie groups and algebras, moment theory, symplectic geometry and mathematical physics. [1]

In 2006 he, with Eckhard Meinrenken, published in Inventiones Mathematicae a proof of the Kashiwara-Vergne conjecture. [2] In 2008 he gave a new proof with Charles Torossian. [3]

In 2014 Alekseev was an invited speaker with talk Three lives of the Gelfand-Zeitlin integrable system at the International Congress of Mathematicians in Seoul.

In 2020 Alekseev received the Medal of the Erwin Schrödinger International Institute for Mathematics and Physics. [4]

In mathematics, a symplectomorphism or symplectic map is an isomorphism in the category of symplectic manifolds. In classical mechanics, a symplectomorphism represents a transformation of phase space that is volume-preserving and preserves the symplectic structure of phase space, and is called a canonical transformation.

In mathematical physics, geometric quantization is a mathematical approach to defining a quantum theory corresponding to a given classical theory. It attempts to carry out quantization, for which there is in general no exact recipe, in such a way that certain analogies between the classical theory and the quantum theory remain manifest. For example, the similarity between the Heisenberg equation in the Heisenberg picture of quantum mechanics and the Hamilton equation in classical physics should be built in.
