Stanislav Smirnov
Stanislav Konstantinovich Smirnov, called Stas Smirnov (Russian Станислав Константинович Смирнов, English transcription: Stanislav Konstantinovich Smirnov, born September 3, 1970 in Leningrad ) is a Russian mathematician who deals with the theory of percolation and dynamical systems in the complex domain.
Smirnov won the 1986 and 1987 gold medal at the International Mathematical Olympiad, each with the highest possible score. He studied at the University of Saint Petersburg in Victor Chawin and received his PhD in 1996 at Caltech with Nikolai Makarov. As a post-doc, he worked at the Max Planck Institute for Mathematics in Bonn, at Yale University and at the Institute for Advanced Study. In 1998 he went to the Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm as a lecturer and was also a researcher at the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences. Since 2003 he is professor at the University of Geneva.
Smirnov get important contributions in the theory of percolation using the SLE by Oded Schramm ( Schramm - Loewner Evolution ). Among other things, he proved conformal invariance in percolation on triangular lattices at the critical point ( and proved a formula for the transition probabilities in this limit, which has been suggested by John Cardy ) and thereafter, and also for the random - cluster model (Random Cluster Model) the Ising model in two dimensions. With Wendelin Werner, he also proved theorems on the existence and values of the critical exponents in two-dimensional percolation.
He received in 2001 with Oded Schramm the Salem Prize and the Clay Research Award. In 2002 he received the Rollo Davidson prize, the 2004 EMS Prize of the European Mathematical Society and in 2010 he received the Fields Medal. He is a Fellow of the American Mathematical Society.
In 2006 he was invited speaker at the International Congress of Mathematicians in Madrid ( Towards conformal invariance of two dimensional lattice models ).
