معرفی
Zinovy Reichstein is a Professor in the Department of Mathematics at the University of British Columbia, Faculty of Science. His research focuses on algebra, algebraic geometry, and algebraic groups. He serves on the editorial board for Transformation Groups and supervises graduate students in Mathematics (MSc and PhD programs).
His research interests span various areas of pure mathematics, particularly focusing on:
- Algebraic groups and their representations
- Essential dimension theory and its applications
- Galois cohomology and field theory
- Invariant theory and geometric invariant theory
- Algebraic geometry, particularly related to moduli spaces
Reichstein's recent publications (2022-2025) demonstrate a strong focus on essential dimension theory, algebraic groups, and related areas in algebra and geometry. His work often connects abstract algebra with geometric methods, exploring problems related to Hilbert's 13th problem, Brauer groups, and specialization phenomena. Many of his papers investigate the interplay between group actions, field extensions, and algebraic structures, with particular attention to problems in prime characteristic.
His professional activities include:
- Member of the editorial board for Transformation Groups
- Supervision of graduate students in Mathematics
- Extensive publication record in top mathematics journals
Reichstein teaches undergraduate courses including Math 300 (Introduction to complex variables) during Term 2 (January-April 2024).
