Alexandre Aleksandrovich Kirilloff (
Soviet and Russian mathematician,[1] known for his works in the fields of representation theory, topological groups and Lie groups. In particular he introduced the orbit method[2] into representation theory. He is an emeritus professor at the University of Pennsylvania
.
Career
Kirillov studied at
kandidat) dissertation Unitary representations of nilpotent Lie groups was published in 1962. He was awarded the degree of Doctor of Science. At the time he was the youngest Doctor of Science in the Soviet Union
. He worked at the Moscow State University until 1994 when he became the Francis J. Carey Professor of Mathematics at the University of Pennsylvania.
During his school years, Kirillov was a winner of many
mathematics competitions
, and he is still an active organizer of Russian mathematical contests. Kirillov is an author of many popular school-oriented books and articles.
In 2012 he became a fellow of the American Mathematical Society.[3]
