2022 Dubrovin Medal

8 Jun 2022

Congratulations to SwissMAP visitor Pavlo Gavrylenko (hosted by A. Grassi’s Group, UNIGE & CERN), who was amongst the three winners of the Dubrovin Medal 2022, a special prize that recognizes exceptionally promising young researchers who have made outstanding contributions to the fields of Mathematical physics and Geometry.

The Boris Dubrovin medal was created in memory of the great mathematician Boris Anatolievich Dubrovin, Professor at SISSA from 1993 to 2019 Pavlo Gavrylenko, was awarded for his work connecting isomonodromic τ-functions of Painleve equations to conformal blocks of Virasoro algebra/Nekrasov partition functions and for generalizing these results to higher rank systems, to systems on the torus and to q-difference Painleve’ equations.
