Russian Mathematical Federation
The Russian Mathematical Federation is a national professional association founded in 1991 to represent mathematicians across the Russian Federation. It serves as a coordinating body linking researchers, educators, institutions, and societies in the tradition of Russian mathematical schools such as those associated with Steklov Institute of Mathematics, Moscow State University, Saint Petersburg State University, Soviet Academy of Sciences, and ITEP. The Federation functions alongside international bodies like International Mathematical Union, European Mathematical Society, American Mathematical Society, All-Russian Mathematical Society and national academies including the Russian Academy of Sciences, fostering collaboration with institutes such as Keldysh Institute of Applied Mathematics, Lebedev Physical Institute, Saratov State University, and Novosibirsk State University.
The Federation was established in the aftermath of the dissolution of the Soviet Union to continue the organizational continuity of mathematical activity previously coordinated by entities like the Steklov Institute and the Moscow Mathematical Society. Early figures in its formation included mathematicians connected to Andrey Kolmogorov’s lineage, alumni of Moscow State University and participants from the Leningrad School linked to Vladimir Arnold, Israel Gelfand, and Grigori Perelman’s broader milieu. During the 1990s it navigated transitions affecting funding from bodies such as the Russian Academy of Sciences and ministries formerly part of the Soviet Union structure, while engaging with international partners including the European Mathematical Society and the International Congress of Mathematicians organizing committees.
The Federation is governed by an elected council and a presidium whose composition reflects representation from major research centers: Moscow State University, Saint Petersburg State University, Novosibirsk State University, Tomsk State University, and regional academies like the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences. Executive officers have included professors associated with institutions such as Steklov Institute of Mathematics, Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology, and Higher School of Economics. The statutes align governance procedures with practices seen in the International Mathematical Union and national mathematical societies like the American Mathematical Society and the London Mathematical Society, defining committees for research policy, ethics, and international relations.
Membership encompasses professional mathematicians from research institutes such as the Keldysh Institute of Applied Mathematics and universities like Moscow State University, Saint Petersburg State University, Novosibirsk State University, Ural Federal University, and Kazan Federal University. The Federation maintains regional chapters in centers including Novosibirsk, Kazan, Yekaterinburg, Tomsk, Irkutsk, and Rostov-on-Don that coordinate with municipal authorities and university departments. Individual members include faculty linked to named chairs established in honor of mathematicians like Andrey Kolmogorov, Sergei Sobolev, Pavel Alexandrov, Ludwig Faddeev, and Igor Shafarevich; institutional members include research organizations such as the Steklov Institute of Mathematics, Lebedev Physical Institute, and the Institute of Mathematics of the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences.
The Federation organizes national conferences, workshops, and thematic schools collaborating with venues such as Moscow State University, Saint Petersburg State University, Novosibirsk State University, and research centers like the Steklov Institute. It coordinates participation in international meetings including the International Congress of Mathematicians, the European Congress of Mathematics, and joint programs with the International Mathematical Union and the European Mathematical Society. Programs address connections with applied centers including the Keldysh Institute and Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology, and foster links with industrial partners historically tied to institutes like the Lebedev Physical Institute and regional ministries.
The Federation sponsors research networks and editorial boards for journals and proceedings involving editors from Steklov Institute of Mathematics, Moscow State University, Saint Petersburg State University, and Novosibirsk State University. Collaborations have produced special issues and conference proceedings connected to titles associated with the Russian Academy of Sciences publishing houses and journals tracing heritage to the Matematicheskii Sbornik tradition. Research initiatives cover areas represented in departments at the Steklov Institute, Keldysh Institute, and university faculties associated with names like Andrey Kolmogorov, Ivan Vinogradov, Sergei Sobolev, and Leonid Kantorovich.
The Federation runs summer schools, olympiad training camps, and teacher development linked to university programs at Moscow State University, Saint Petersburg State University, Novosibirsk State University, and regional pedagogical institutes such as Moscow State Pedagogical University and Kazan Federal University. Outreach includes partnerships with competitions like the All-Russian Mathematical Olympiad, preparatory programs feeding national teams to the International Mathematical Olympiad and exchanges with institutions such as the European Mathematical Society and International Mathematical Union for student mobility and visiting lectureships.
The Federation administers prizes and recognitions honoring contributions by mathematicians aligned with historic figures: awards named after Andrey Kolmogorov, Sergei Sobolev, Pavel Alexandrov, Ivan Vinogradov, and Leonid Kantorovich appear in Federation programs. It supports national rounds of competitions leading to selection for the International Mathematical Olympiad and sponsors conference prizes that parallel honors awarded by the Russian Academy of Sciences, the European Mathematical Society, and international prizes associated with the International Mathematical Union.
