Summary on Grant Application Form |
Victor Goryunov is a leading figure in Singularity Theory, whose contributions to the subject are fundamental. He has published several books and a vast variety of papers in singularity theory, Vassiliev type invariants, and Legendrian knots. Many of his papers in Lagrange and Legendiran geometry are now considered to be classical in the subject. In particular he has developed stability theory of maps between Lagrangian and Legendrian varieties and studied local properties of their singularities. In addition Victor Goryunov has worked on complex crystallographic groups, and he has calculated Tjurina and Milnor numbers of matrix singularities. Victor Goryunov's great enthusiasm, his amiability and his belief in scientific progress have helped to maintain a strong research network of mathematicians all over the world. Originally from Arnol'd's school in Moscow, he has worked in Russia, Denmark, US and UK. He is an active collaborator with former Soviet Union mathematicians and those from the West. Victor Goryunov was among the principal organizers of a semester program in the Newton Institute on singularity theory. He has been an organizer of many international conferences. For many years he has been a principal organizer of 'Singularity Days' joining researchers of Liverpool, Warwick, and Valencia (funded by LMS).
The proposed workshop in singularity theory and its applications will attract major figures from, at least, Europe including Scandinavia and Israel, North and South America, Russia and Japan.
