Symplectic Rigidity and Quantum-Classical Correspondence
Leonid Polterovich,
professor of mathematics,
Tel Aviv University, University of Chicago, MSRI,
Speaker's Bio:
Dr. Leonid Polterovich was born in Moscow in 1963. Dr. Polterovich received his MSc in mechanics at Moscow State University in 1984. His research interests include symplectic and contact topology and dynamical systems. While he was working in industry until emigration to Israel, he continued research within Sinai's and Arnold's seminars. Dr. Polterovich received his PhD in 1990 at Tel Aviv University under the supervision of Yakov Sinai and Vitali Milman. Since then he has been at Tel Aviv University where he currently holds the Gordon Chair in Symplectic Topology and Hamiltonian dynamics. In the Fall of 2009 Dr. Polterovich joined the Department of Mathematics at University of Chicago. During the Winter quarter of 2010 he will be visiting MSRI as a Simons Professor. Dr. Polterovich has been awarded The European Congress of Mathematicians Award for Young Mathematicians (1996), Erdos prize of the Israel Mathematical Union (1998) and the Michael Bruno Memorial Award (2003). In 1998 he delivered an invited address to the International Congress of Mathematicians, Berlin.
