Mathematical Division of B. Verkin Institute for Low Temperature Physics and Engineering

The Mathematical Division of B. Verkin Institute for Low Temperature Physics and Engineering   — is a part of Mathematical Division of NASU ,^[1] one of the leading Ukrainian mathematical centers, where fundamental research in mathematics is conducted.

The main research areas of the Mathematical Division are:

• mathematical physics;
• differential equations;
• geometry;
• function theory and functional analysis.

History[]

Formally, the Mathematical Division of Institute for Low Temperature Physics and Engineering was established by a decree of the Presidium of the Academy of Sciences of the Ukrainian SSR dated October 5, 1987. However, the mathematical departments appeared at the Institute almost simultaneously with its foundation in 1960. At that time there were 5 mathematical departments in the Institute:

• function theory, headed by Naum Akhiezer;
• mathematical physics, headed by Vladimir Marchenko;
• geometry, headed by Aleksei Pogorelov;
• applied mathematics (from 1962), headed by ;
• functional analysis and computational mathematics (from 1963), headed by .

In the mathematical departments of the Institute at various times had worked and work now such well-known mathematicians as , Vladimir Drinfeld, Alexandr Eremenko, Boris Levin, , , Leonid Pastur, , , , , , and others.

In 1990, Vladimir Drinfeld, who worked at the Mathematical Division from 1981 to 1999, was awarded by Fields Medal. ^[2]
