groups such as the Yang-Mills field and the Einstein gravitational field, by means of
continual integration. In 1971, he received the State Prize and in 1975, he was the
recipient of the prestigious Dannie Heineman Prize for Mathematical Physics of the
American Physical Society. In 1975, he formalized the quantification of particle-like
solutions (solitons) of field-theory equations. Methods developed by him are
employed in various fields of mathematics, in quantum mechanics, and in the
theory of elementary particles. From 1985 to 1987, he has served as Vice President
of the International Mathematical Union when he became president. He is head of
the National Committee of Mathematicians of the Russian Federation. He also
heads the International Institute named after I. Eiler located in St Petersburg. (GSE

Vladimirov, Vasilii S., D. PM. S. Born in 1923 in Leningrad Oblast. Russian
mathematician. He became an academician of the Mathematics Department of the
Academy in 1970, and Deputy Academician Secretary of the Department in August
1988. He graduated from Leningrad State University in 1948. He began working at
the V. A. Steklov Institute that same year. In August 1988, he was selected to be
the Director of the famous V. A. Steklov Mathematics Institute in Moscow. His
works are on transport equations, quantum field theory, generalized solutions of
equations in convolutions, holomorphic functions of many complex variables, the
theory of multi-dimensional linear passive systems, the geometric theory of
numbers, quadratic formulas for functional integrals, the monte-carlo method, and
pulur-subharmonic functions. Recipient of the State Prize, 1953. (GSE 5, p. 535.)
