Vladimir Drinfeld Biography

Vladimir Drinfeld is one of the most popular and richest Mathematician who was born on February 14, 1954 in Kharkiv, Ukraine. Drinfeld was born to an Jewish mathematic family located in Kharkiv, Ukrainian SSR, Soviet Union in 1954. In 1969 at the age of 15 years old, Drinfeld was a representative of his country Soviet Union at the International Mathematics Olympiad in Bucharest, Romania, and received a gold medal with the total scoring of forty points. Drinfeld was at the at the time, the only participant to ever score the perfect score, a feat that was later surpassed by just three other participants, such as Sergei Konyagin and Noam Elkies. Drinfeld was admitted to Moscow State University in the same year, graduating from the university in 1974. Drinfeld received his Candidate of Sciences degree in 1978, and also his Doctor of Sciences degree from the Steklov Institute of Mathematics in 1988. He was given the Fields Medal in 1990. From 1981 until 1999, He worked for the Verkin Institute for Low Temperature Physics and Engineering (Department of Mathematical Physics). Drinfeld relocated back to his home in the United States in 1999 and is working in the University of Chicago since January 1999.

Drinfeld has also worked together with Alexander Beilinson to rebuild the theory of vertex algebras in a form that is coordinate-free that are becoming increasingly relevant to two-dimensional conformal fields theoryand string theory along with the geometry Langlands program. Drinfeld and Beilinson published their research in 2004 in a book entitled “Chiral Algebras.”

Drinfeld’s work connected algebraic geometry over finite fields with number theory, especially the theory of automorphic forms, through the notions of elliptic module and the theory of the geometric Langlands correspondence. Drinfeld introduced the notion of a quantum group (independently discovered by Michio Jimbo at the same time) and made important contributions to mathematical physics, including the ADHM construction of instantons, algebraic formalism of the quantum inverse scattering method, and the Drinfeld–Sokolov reduction in the theory of solitons.

He was presented with his Fields Medal in 1990. In 2016 the Academy elected him as a member of the National Academy of Sciences. In 2018, he was awarded the Wolf Prize in Mathematics.

Vladimir Gershonovich Drinfeld (Ukrainian: Volodimir Gershonovich Drinfel’d; Russian name: Vladimir Gershonovich Born 14 February 1954) Surname, also known as Drinfel’d. He is a well-known mathematician from the former USSR who has emigrated into America. United States and is currently working at the University of Chicago.

In 1974 when he was twenty-one, Drinfeld announced a proof of the Langlands conjectures regarding GL2 over the global field of positive characteristics. While proving the theories, Drinfeld created a brand new class of objects he named “elliptic modules” (now known as Drinfeld modules). In 1983 Drinfeld released a paper which expanded the concept that the Langlands conjectures. In 1983, the Langlands conjectures, as they were released in the year 1967 can be considered to be a kind in non-abelian field theories for class. It proposed an existence that could be a natural one-to-1 connection with Galois representations and certain automorphic types. This “naturalness” is guaranteed by the fundamental synchronization of L-functions. However, this assumption is pure arithmetic, and therefore cannot be considered as a general single-dimensional field of functions in an easy method. Drinfeld suggested the possibility that in lieu of automorphic forms , one could consider automorphic perverse sheaves as well as automorphic D-modules. “Automorphicity” of these modules as well as the Langlands correspondence can then be seen in the context of the actions that occurs in Hecke operators.

Drinfeld has also done much work in mathematical physics. In collaboration with his advisor Yuri Manin, he constructed the moduli space of Yang–Mills instantons, a result that was proved independently by Michael Atiyah and Nigel Hitchin. Drinfeld coined the term “quantum group” in reference to Hopf algebras that are deformations of simple Lie algebras, and connected them to the study of the Yang–Baxter equation, which is a necessary condition for the solvability of statistical mechanical models. He also generalized Hopf algebras to quasi-Hopf algebras and introduced the study of Drinfeld twists, which can be used to factorize the R-matrix corresponding to the solution of the Yang–Baxter equation associated with a quasitriangular Hopf algebra.
