  Maxim Kontsevich   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
Maxim Kontsevich has established a reputation in pure mathematics and theoretical physics, with influential ideas and deep insights.
Kontsevich is an expert in the so-called "string theory" and in quantum field theory.
Maxim Kontsevich (born 25 August 1964) is professor at the Institute des Hautes Etudes Scientific (I.H.E.S) in France and visiting professor at Rutgers University in New Brunswick (USA).

 Research - RTD info - Edition - The mathematician who came in from the cold
Kontsevich was 'obsessed' by what he had heard and the next day, during a final boat trip on the Rhine for conference participants, he explained to his colleagues how he intended to prove Witten's conjecture.
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.

Maxim Kontsevich achieved a major breakthrough in 1993 when he realized that the conjectured associativity property of the "quantum cohomology" construction in theoretical physics can be translated to a recursion formula that easily computes N(d) for any desired degree.
The associativity property of quantum cohomology is described in terms of a nonlinear partial differential equation known as the WDVV (Witten, Dijkgraaf, Verlinde, Verlinde) equation.
Maxim Kontsevich and Yuri Manin posed the problem of explicitly constructing such quantum cohomology Frobenius manifolds.

Maxim Kontsevich (born 25 August 1964) is professor at the Institute des Hautes Etudes Scientifiques (IHES) in France and visiting professor at Rutgers University in New Brunswick, New Jersey.
Another noticeable contribution of Kontsevich is in the field of mirror symmetry, an important duality between two quantum field theory models from the physical point of view and between two types of geometry, complex and symplectic, from the mathematical perspective.
Kontsevich described the idea of a construction, which generalized a conjecture of Deligne on Hochschild cohomology and related algebra with physics in a mind-blowing shot.

 10.12.94 - Very Pleasurable Universe
Berkeley can be tumultuous, but to Maxim Kontsevich it is a peaceful haven compared to the turmoil today in Russia.
Kontsevich is one of many elite mathematicians to abandon Russia in the past several years, leaving behind the crime and unpredictability of Moscow.
At the moment Kontsevich is trying to unify two areas of geometry--symplectic and algebraic--in a way that explains the mirror symmetry discovered recently in string theory.

 NationMaster - Encyclopedia: Curtis T. McMullen
Efim Isaakovich Zelmanov (born September 7, 1955) is a mathematician, known for his work on combinatorial problems in nonassociative algebra and group theory, including his solution of the restricted Burnside problem.
This highest scientific award for mathematicians was presented today at the opening ceremony of the "International Congress of Mathematicians" to Richard E. Borcherds, Maxim Kontsevich, William Timothy Gowers and Curtis T.
McMullen is being awarded a medal primarily in recognition of his work in the fields of geometry and "complex dynamics", a branch of the theory of dynamic systems, better known perhaps as chaos theory.

Uiteindelijk kiest Dijkgraaf voor Kontsevich, de jongste van de drie, omdat dat een van de meeste geniale personen is die hij ooit heeft ontmoet.
Kontsevich was pas 22 en had niet alleen het werk van Witten overzien, maar het ook enorm uitgebreid.
Kontsevich gaat er dan gewoon aan rekenen, zonder zich druk te maken om bestaande vermoedens.

Fields Medal Kontsevich began to prepare for the greatest challenge of his life: presenting the 2004 Moursand Lectures at the U of O. The first Moursand Lecture consisted of definitions and "basic" examples.
He began by defining a sort of affine manifold on which the coordinate charts were related by an affine linear transformation in the regions in which they overlapped, as opposed to say by a diffeomorphism, as in the case of a differentiable manifold.
elements, which Kontsevich joked might be the mathematical object which acted on one mathematical space which I did not understand to produce another mathematical space which I did not understand.

 Cornell Math - MATH 751, Fall 2000
Two short papers by Maxim Kontsevich, written in the early 1990's, relate invariants of certain topologically important groups, including mapping class groups and outer automorphism groups of free groups, to invariants of certain infinite-dimensional Lie algebras.
The connection is made via various complexes of finite graphs, and a variation of these complexes leads to Kontsevich's graph cohomology, which has important applications to quantum field theory.
The goal of this seminar is to make progress towards understanding the theory described in these papers, starting from ground zero.
