Sergei Vostokov
Sergei Vladimirovich Vostokov (russian: Сергей Владимирович Востоков; born April 13, 1945) is a Russian mathematician. He made major contributions to local number theory. He is a professor at St. Petersburg State University. Work Vostokov developed an important class of explicit formulas for the Hilbert symbol on local fields, which have a wide range of applications in number theory. His formulas generalize to formal groups. A generalization of his explicit formula to higher local fields is called the Vostokov symbol. It plays an important role in higher local class field theory. Prizes For his 60th birthday, two special volumes of St Petersburg Mathematical Society of Vostokov were published in Russian and English by the American Mathematical Society The American Mathematical Society (AMS) is an association of professional mathematicians dedicated to the interests of mathematical research and scholarship, and serves the national and internatio ...

Saint Petersburg
Saint Petersburg ( rus, links=no, Санкт-Петербург, a=Ru-Sankt Peterburg Leningrad Petrograd Piter.ogg, r=Sankt-Peterburg, p=ˈsankt pʲɪtʲɪrˈburk), formerly known as Petrograd (1914–1924) and later Leningrad (1924–1991), is the second-largest city in Russia. It is situated on the Neva River, at the head of the Gulf of Finland on the Baltic Sea, with a population of roughly 5.4 million residents. Saint Petersburg is the fourth-most populous city in Europe after Istanbul, Moscow and London, the most populous city on the Baltic Sea, and the world's northernmost city of more than 1 million residents. As Russia's Imperial capital, and a historically strategic port, it is governed as a federal city. The city was founded by Tsar Peter the Great on 27 May 1703 on the site of a captured Swedish fortress, and was named after apostle Saint Peter. In Russia, Saint Petersburg is historically and culturally associated with t ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
