Yuri Ivanovich Manin (Russian: Ю́рий Ива́нович Ма́нин; 16 February 1937 – 7 January 2023) was a Russian mathematician, known for work in algebraic geometry and diophantine geometry, and many expository works ranging from mathematical logic to theoretical physics.

Life and career

Manin was born on 16 February 1937 in Simferopol, Crimean ASSR, Soviet Union.[2]

He received a doctorate in 1960 at the

Max-Planck-Institut für Mathematik in Bonn, where he was director from 1992 to 2005 and then director emeritus.[3][2] He was also a professor emeritus at Northwestern University.[4]

He had over the years more than 40 doctoral students, including Vladimir Berkovich, Mariusz Wodzicki, Alexander Beilinson, Ivan Cherednik, Alexei Skorobogatov, Vladimir Drinfeld, Mikhail Kapranov, Vyacheslav Shokurov, Ralph Kaufmann, Arend Bayer, Victor Kolyvagin and Hà Huy Khoái.[5]

Manin died on 7 January 2023.[2]

Research

Manin's early work included papers on the arithmetic and

algebraic varieties.[6][7]

He developed the

Grothendieck's theory of global Azumaya algebras, setting off a generation of further work.[8][9]

Manin pioneered the field of arithmetic topology (along with John Tate, David Mumford, Michael Artin, and Barry Mazur).[10] He also formulated the Manin conjecture, which predicts the asymptotic behaviour of the number of rational points of bounded height on algebraic varieties.[11]

In mathematical physics, Manin wrote on

1980 with his book Computable and Uncomputable.[14]

He wrote a book on

Awards

He was awarded the

In 1990, he became a foreign member of the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences.[16] He was a member of eight other academies of science and was also an honorary member of the London Mathematical Society.[2]
