Scientific Results
Lax operator algebras:
Introduced in 2006 in the joint work with I.Krichever. Certain basic properties were established there, such as almost
graded structure, existense of the almost graded central extensions (the corresponding 2-cocycles are constructed
explicitly).The classification of all almost graded central extensions is given in the joint work with
M.Schlichenmaier (2007). In my subsequent works I developed certain applications to the theory of integrable
systems: the existence and properties of integrable hierarchies.
Krichever-Novikov
algebras and their representations:
Classification of the
coadjoint orbits and its relation to the 21-th problem of Hilbert.
Hitchin-Tyurin invariants of Krichever-Novikov algebras. Construction of wedge
representations of Krichever-Novikov algebras and their classification by
holomorphic bundles on Riemann surfaces. Description of the second order
casimirs for the Krichever-Novikov algebras and some more general operators
(semi-casimirs). Relation between semi-casimirs, conformal blocks and tangent
spaces to certain moduli spaces of Riemann surfaces with marked points and
fixed jets of local coordinates. Analog of Weil-Kac formula for characters for
the special class of irreducible representations.
2D
Conformal Field Theory:
Constructing the Conformal Field Theory
on moduli spaces of Riemann surfaces with puctures using Krichever-Novikov algebras as algebras of gauge and
conformal symmetries. The generalization of the Knizhnik-Zamolodchikov
equations on positive genus. Formules for infinitesimal deformation of regular Krichever-Novukov functions
and vector fields under deformation of moduli (joint results with M.Schlichenmaier).
Discrete
minimization (maximization) problems (1977-82).
The duality theory for
linear discrete programming. Analog of Kuhn-Tacker theorem for discrete
nonlinear programming. Lagrange multipliers for problems in discrete arguments.
The extremal properties of subadditive cutting planes.
