Victor Ginzburg (in some 1980s articles spelled Ginsburg) is a professor of mathematics at the University of Chicago. His thesis in Moscow was under Alexandre Kirillov. His main interests are representation theory, especially geometric representation theory, including more recently noncommutative algebraic geometry.
Warning: there is another mathematician (global analysis, symplectic geometry), V…
The five-year Research Training Group award will fund groundbreaking research in geometry and representation theory while supporting students and educators across Los Angeles. The post $3M NSF grant funds new USC Dornsife mathematics research and training program appeared first on USC Dornsife .
Representation theory was initially dismissed. Today, it’s central to much of mathematics. The post The ‘Useless’ Perspective That Transformed Mathematics first appeared on Quanta Magazine
A few years ago, I gave a talk at NCSU on some work I had done on Littlewood-Richardson numbers, cluster algebras and such things. For the first half hour or so, I outlined the basic results I would be using about the representation theory of the group . Afterwards, I had a number of grad […]
