Andrei Suslin (Russian: Андре́й Алекса́ндрович Су́слин, sometimes transliterated Souslin) is a Russian mathematician who has made contributions to the field of algebra, especially algebraic K-theory and its connections with algebraic geometry. He is currently a Trustee Chair and Professor of mathematics at Northwestern University.[1]
He was born on December 27, 1950, in St. Petersburg, Russia. He received his PhD from Leningrad University in 1974; his thesis was titled Projective modules over polynomial rings.[2]
In 1976 he and Daniel Quillen independently proved Serre's conjecture about the triviality of algebraic vector bundles on affine space.
Together with Alexander Merkurjev, he proved the Merkurjev–Suslin theorem concerning the Brauer group in 1982.
Suslin was an invited speaker at the International Congress of Mathematicians in 1978 and 1994, and he gave a plenary invited address at the Congress in 1986. He was awarded the Frank Nelson Cole Prize in Algebra in 2000 by the American Mathematical Society for his work on motivic cohomology.[3]
In 2010 special issues of "Journal of K-theory"[4] and of Documenta Mathematica[5] was published in honor of Suslin's sixtieth birthday.
