Andrei Vladlenovich Zelevinsky ({{lang|ru|Андрей Владленович Зелевинский}}; 30 January 1953 – 10 April 2013)[1] was a Russian-American mathematician who made important contributions to algebra, combinatorics, and representation theory, among other areas.

Biography

Zelevinsky graduated in 1969 from the Moscow Mathematical School No. 2.[2]

After winning a silver medal as a member of the USSR team at the International Mathematical Olympiad[3] he was admitted without examination to the mathematics department of Moscow State University

where he obtained his PhD in 1978 under the mentorship of Joseph Bernstein,

Alexandre Kirillov and Israel Gelfand.[4]

He worked[5] in the mathematical laboratory of Vladimir Keilis-Borok at the Institute of Earth Science (1977–85), and at the Council for Cybernetics of the Soviet Academy of Sciences (1985–90). In the early 1980s, at a great personal risk, he taught at the Jewish Peoples' University,[6] an unofficial organization offering first-class mathematics education to talented students denied admission to Moscow State University's math department.

In 1990-91, Zelevinsky was a visiting professor at Cornell University, and from 1991 until his death was on faculty at Northeastern University, Boston.

With his wife, Galina, he had a son and a daughter; he also had several grandchildren.[7]

Research

Zelevinsky's most notable achievement is the discovery (with Sergey Fomin) of cluster algebras.

His other contributions include:

  • Bernstein–Zelevinsky classification of representations of p-adic groups;
  • introduction (jointly with Israel Gelfand and Mikhail Kapranov) of A-systems of hypergeometric equations (also known as GKZ-systems)[8] and development of the theory of hyperdeterminants[9];
  • generalization of the Littlewood–Richardson rule and Robinson–Schensted correspondence using the combinatorics of "pictures";
  • work (jointly with Arkady Berenstein and Sergey Fomin) on total positivity;
  • work (with Sergey Fomin) on the Laurent phenomenon, including its applications to Somos sequences.

Awards and recognition

  • Invited lecture at the International Congress of Mathematicians (Berlin, 1998)[10]
  • Humboldt Research Award (2004)
    • Fellow (2012) of the American Mathematical Society[13]
    • University Distinguished Professorship (2013) at Northeastern University[14]
    • Steele Prize for Seminal Contribution to Research (2018) [15]
