Yuri Valentinovich Nesterenko

Yuri Valentinovich Nesterenko (Russian Юрий Валентинович Нестеренко, English transliteration Yuri Nesterenko Valentinovich; born December 5, 1946 in Kharkiv ) is a Russian mathematician who deals with number theory.

Nesterenko received his doctorate in 1973 Andrei Schidlowski at the Lomonosov University in Moscow ( On some properties of solutions of linear differential equations and their application in the theory of transcendental numbers ), where he is Professor and Chair of the Department of Number Theory today.

Nesterenko deals with the theory of algebraic independence and the theory of transcendental numbers and made ​​significant progress there. So he proved the algebraic independence of and (both transcendental numbers ) using modular functions. He also showed 1999, the transcendence of positive integers d

In 1997 he was awarded the Ostrowski Prize and the Prize of the Hardy - Ramanujan Society of India. In 2003 he was awarded the Humboldt Research Award and in 2006 with the Markov Prize from the Russian Academy of Sciences. Nesterenko has been a corresponding member of the Russian Academy of Sciences. In 1990 he was invited speaker at the International Congress of Mathematicians in Kyoto ( Algebraic independence of values ​​of analytic functions).
