Alexander A. Voronov (Russian: Александр Александрович Воронов) (born November 25, 1962) is a Russian-American mathematician specializing in mathematical physics, algebraic topology, and algebraic geometry. He is currently a Professor of Mathematics at the University of Minnesota and a Visiting Senior Scientist at the Kavli Institute for the Physics and Mathematics of the Universe.[1]
Biography
Voronov graduated from Moscow State School 57 in 1980. He received an M.S. in Mathematics in 1985 and a Ph.D. in Mathematics at Moscow State University in 1988 under Yuri I. Manin.[2] Alexander Voronov is known for his work on the super Mumford isomorphism (see Mumford measure), semi-infinite cohomology, operads in quantum field theory (see Swiss-cheese operad), Deligne's and Kontsevich's conjectures on Hochschild cohomology, cohomology of vertex operator algebras, and string topology (see cactus operad). He is a Fellow of the American Mathematical Society[3], an AMS Centennial Fellow,[4], a Simons Fellow,[5] and a 2010 Japan Society for the Promotion of Science (JSPS) Research Fellow.
