IN CELEBRATION OF THE CENTENNIAL
of Ljudmila Vsevolodovna Keldysh
(March 12, 1904 - February 16, 1976)
Scopes and Themes
The conference will cover the areas of L.V. Keldysh’s scientific interests as
well as some modern development in geometry and topology. There will be four
sections:
-
Geometric Topology (A.V. Chernavsky , E.V. Shchepin)
-
Set Theory (V.V. Fedorchouk, V.G. Kanovei, V.A. Lyubetsky)
-
Topology of Low Dimensions (S.V. Matveev, I.A. Dynnikov)
-
Combinatorial geometry and algebraic topology (V.M. Buchstaber)
|
Ljudmila Vsevolodovna Keldysh was an eminent mathematician. She first worked in
Descriptive Set Theory (being a member of the celebrated Lusitania - a
mathematiciancommunity grouped around N.N. Lusin), and then, from the 50's, in
the domain of Geometric Topology.
Her main result in Descriptive Theory consists in the full analysis of the
Borel sets, including the construction of arithmetic examples for all
effectively given transfinites.
In Topology, she is the author of the well known examples of open
null-dimensional mapping of the Menger curve onto cubes and open monotone
mappings of cubes onto cubes of higher dimension. This work stimulated many
further studies.
In the last period of her life L.V. Keldysh conducted a seminar inGeometric
Topology, which has markedly influenced modern state of the field.
