Anatoly Timofeevich Fomenko is a Soviet and Russian mathematician, professor at Moscow State University, well known as a topologist, and a member of the Russian Academy of Sciences. He is the author of a pseudoscientific theory known as New Chronology, based on works of Russian-Soviet writer and freemason Nikolai Alexandrovich Morozov. He is also a member of the Russian Academy of Natural Sciences (1991).
Serge Lang was a French-American mathematician and activist who taught at Yale University for most of his career. He is known for his work in number theory and for his mathematics textbooks, including the influential Algebra. He received the Frank Nelson Cole Prize in 1960 and was a member of the Bourbaki group.
Sir Simon Kirwan Donaldson is an English mathematician known for his work on the topology of smooth (differentiable) four-dimensional manifolds, Donaldson–Thomas theory, and his contributions to Kähler geometry. He is currently a permanent member of the Simons Center for Geometry and Physics at Stony Brook University in New York, and a Professor in Pure Mathematics at Imperial College London.
Yuri Ivanovich Manin is a Russian mathematician, known for work in algebraic geometry and diophantine geometry, and many expository works ranging from mathematical logic to theoretical physics. Moreover, Manin was one of the first to propose the idea of a quantum computer in 1980 with his book Computable and Uncomputable.
Phillip Augustus Griffiths IV is an American mathematician, known for his work in the field of geometry, and in particular for the complex manifold approach to algebraic geometry. He was a major developer in particular of the theory of variation of Hodge structure in Hodge theory and moduli theory. He also worked on partial differential equations, coauthored with Shiing-Shen Chern, Robert Bryant and Robert Gardner on Exterior Differential Systems.
Shlomo Zvi Sternberg, is an American mathematician known for his work in geometry, particularly symplectic geometry and Lie theory.
Alan David Weinstein is a professor of mathematics at the University of California, Berkeley, working in the field of differential geometry, and especially in Poisson geometry.
Victor William Guillemin is a mathematician working in the field of symplectic geometry, who has also made contributions to the fields of microlocal analysis, spectral theory, and mathematical physics. He is a tenured Professor in the Department of Mathematics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
Sigurdur Helgason is an Icelandic mathematician whose research has been devoted to the geometry and analysis on symmetric spaces. In particular he has used new integral geometric methods to establish fundamental existence theorems for differential equations on symmetric spaces as well as some new results on the representations of their isometry groups. He also introduced a Fourier transform on these spaces and proved the principal theorems for this transform, the inversion formula, the Plancherel theorem and the analog of the Paley–Wiener theorem.
Robert Leamon Bryant is an American mathematician and Phillip Griffiths Professor of Mathematics at Duke University. He specializes in differential geometry.
Kentaro Yano was a mathematician working on differential geometry who introduced the Bochner–Yano theorem.
In mathematics, the Kronheimer–Mrowka basic classes are elements of the second cohomology H2(X) of a simple smooth 4-manifold X that determine its Donaldson polynomials. They were introduced by P. B. Kronheimer and Tomasz S. Mrowka (1994, 1995).
Robert C. Hermann was an American mathematician and mathematical physicist. In the 1960s Hermann worked on elementary particle physics and quantum field theory, and published books which revealed the interconnections between vector bundles on Riemannian manifolds and gauge theory in physics, before these interconnections became "common knowledge" among physicists in the 1970s.
Nolan Russell Wallach is a mathematician known for work in the representation theory of reductive algebraic groups. He is the author of the 2-volume treatise Real Reductive Groups.
Michael Eugene Taylor is an American mathematician, working in partial differential equations.
Robert Stephen Strichartz is an American mathematician, specializing in mathematical analysis.
Robert Miller Hardt is an American mathematician. His research deals with geometric measure theory, partial differential equations, and continuum mechanics. He is particularly known for his work with Leon Simon proving the boundary regularity of volume minimizing hypersurfaces.
Andrew John Sommese is an American mathematician, specializing in algebraic geometry.
Gennadi Markovich Henkin was a Russian mathematician and mathematical economist.
Dietmar Arno Salamon is a German mathematician.
