He is primarily known to the general public as a controversial critic, political activist and independent music publisher. Scientific activities Verbitsky graduated from a Math class at the Moscow State School 57 in 1986, and has been active in mathematics since then. His principal area of interest in mathematics is differential geometry, especially geometry of hyperkähler manifolds and locally conformally Kähler manifolds. He proved an analogue of the global Torelli theorem for hyperkähler manifolds and the mirror conjecture in hyperkähler case. He also contributed to the theory of Hodge structures. His PhD thesis, titled ''Cohomology of compact Hyperkaehler Manifolds'', was defended in 1995 at Harvard University under the supervision of David Kazhdan. He has h ...
