Mark Iosifovich Graev (Марк Иосифович Граев, 21 November 1922, Moscow[1] – 22 April 2017[2]) was a Russian mathematician. He is known as one of the namesakes in the Gelfand–Graev representation.
Education and career
[edit]Graev received his doctorate in 1947 from Lomonosov Moscow State University with thesis Free topological groups under the supervision of Alexander Kurosh.[3] Graev was a professor at the Scientific Research Institute of System Development of the Russian Academy of Sciences and the Keldysh Institute of Applied Mathematics of the Russian Academy of Sciences.
He was a member of the Moscow circle of Israel Gelfand, with whom he wrote several books. Graev was the co-author with Gelfand and Ilya Piatetski-Shapiro of volume 5 (Integral Geometry and Representation Theory) and the co-author with Gelfand and Naum Ya. Vilenkin of volume 6 (Representation Theory and Automorphic Functions) in the 6-volume monograph series Generalized Functions.[4] In 1966 Graev was an Invited Speaker at the International Congress of Mathematicians (ICM) in Moscow. His ICM presentation Theory of Representation of Groups was joint work with Alexander Kirillov.[5]
