[vavilov-perugia-2013] Pavel Gvozdevsky

[Павел Гвоздевский]

Hi,

I'm Pavel Gvozdevsky, Паша(Pasha) for short. I've just finished my third specialist's (that is something between bachelor and master) year in Mathematics at St Petersburg State University, and Nikolai Vavilov is my advisor. I had 2 years of general algebra course, and a number of special courses and seminars on some advanced subjects including commutative algebra, homological algebra, algebraic topology, Hopf algebras, triangulated categories, modular forms, model theory, modular representation and others.

Thanks! Yes, "Pasha" should be easy for everyone who knows how to put strong dynamical stress

on the first syllable, which in this case is penultimate, so that's what Italians would do anyway. Only

that "sh" is hard, like German "sch" (though not nearly quite as hard, as Polish "sz" in "Warszawa"),

not soft like Italian "sci" (in Russian we have both of those, "ш" and "щ").

And yes, Pasha tells you the whole truth, that within 3 years he was exposed to AT LEAST

11--12 semesters of Algebra (actually MORE, I guess, since among "others" there certainly was my

own course "Kac---Moody groups"), some of which rather advanced, but not all of them concluded

by exams (maybe only about 6--7).
