Ya.B. Zeldovich was a pre-eminent Soviet physicist whose seminal contributions spanned many fields ranging from physical chemistry to nuclear and particle physics, and finally astrophysics and cosmology. March 8, 2014 marks Zeldovich's…
A recollection of special moments spent with Yakov Borisovich Zeldovich and with the scientists of Soviet Union and abroad.
I discuss the formation of the modern cosmological paradigm. In more detail I describe the early study of dark matter and cosmic web and the role of Yakov Zeldovich in the formation of the present concepts on these subjects.
This year marks the 100th anniversary of the birth of Yakov Zel'dovich. Amongst his many legacies is the Zel'dovich approximation for the growth of large-scale structure, which remains one of the most successful and insightful analytic…
I review five of Bohdan Paczynski's ideas on black hole accretion disk theory. They formed my understanding of the subject and often guided intuition in my research. They are fundamentally profound, rich in physical consequences,…
The algebraic part of approach to groupoids started by S. Zakrzewski is presented.
The following is an exposition of a course of algebra that Prof. Aleksandr Aleksandrovich Zykov (1922-2013) distributed among the participants of his seminar in graph theory not far away from Odessa, Ukraine, on September, 1991. It is a…
The present article provides an overview of Yakov Eliashberg's seminal contributions to the concepts of orderability and contact non-squeezing. It also examines subsequent research by various authors, highlighting the significance of these…
This is a short overview of the contribution of Leonid Kantorovich into the formation of the modern outlook on the interaction between mathematics and economics.
We explore an (unpublished) approach to the famous Jacobian Conjecture by means of identities of algebras, discovered by the brilliant deceased mathematician, Alexander Vladimirovich Yagzhev (1951{2001). This approach also indicates some…
Isaak Moiseevich Yaglom deduced complete classification of geometric spaces. In this work, supposed to your attention, author formalizes Yaglom's approach and constructs uniform theory of geometric spaces on analytic level. Among its…
The paper contains a short description of the scientific papers of Professor Boris Ya. Sukharevsky on condensed matter physics. His basic scientific activity was related to following directions: structural vacancies concept; influence of…
The idea of convexity feeds generation, separation, calculus, and approximation. Generation appears as duality; separation, as optimality; calculus, as representation; and approximation, as stability. This is an overview of the origin,…
This is a brief and informal introduction to cluster algebras. It roughly follows the historical path of their discovery, made jointly with A.Zelevinsky. Total positivity serves as the main motivation.
The talk at international conference in honor of Ya. B. Zeldovich 95th Anniversary, Minsk, Belarus, April 2009. The talk represents a review of the old results and contemporary development on the problem of cosmological singularity.
Yuri L'vovich Klimontovich (28.09.1924--26.10.2002) was an outstanding theoretical physicist who made major contributions to kinetic theory. On the occasion of his 100th birthday we recall his main scientific achievements.
This article is dedicated to the centenary of the birth of Aleksandr D. Alexandrov (1912-1999). His functional-analytical approach to the solving of the Minkowski problem is examined and applied to the extremal problems of isoperimetric…
We have developed a generalization of the Zeldovich approximation (ZA) that is exact in a wide variety of situations, including plannar, spherical and cilyndrical symmetries. We have shown that this generalization, that we call complete…
In this brief note, there is a short recollection of my scientific interactions with the great Russian mathematician Sergey Konstantinovich Godunov.
This is a short overview of the influence of mathematicians and their ideas on the creative contribution of Mikhailo Lomonosov on the occasion of the tercentenary of his birth.
