| | KONTSEVICH, MAXIM - CIRS |
 | | Maxim Kontsevich's research cuts across many fields of pure mathematics, mixing algebra, geometry, analysis, topology, combinatorics, etc. Some of his work is inspired by theoretical physics, in particular string theory and quantum field theory, which applies quantum theory to the interaction between elementary particles. |
 | | Kontsevich has also worked on the mathematics of knots, a field which, although is seems to be further from physics, is not without its applications. |
