Abstract

Kazan State University is the third largest University in today’s Russia (after Moscow State and St. Petersburg State Universities). It is also one of the oldest universities in Russia, founded by a special order of Emperor Alexander I of Russia in 1804. Kazan State University has a glorious past. It was the place where Lobachevsky developed his non-Euclidean geometry. It was also the Alma Mater of many famous people (Lenin including). Many fundamental results were obtained, and many scientific discoveries were made in this university throughout the years.

How is Kazan State University doing now? What is the life of mathematical science like there? What are Kazan mathematicians interested in now?

These are some of the questions to be considered during this talk. Based on several particular results of Kazan mathematicians from mathematical logics, probability, function theory, modern algebra, algebraic geometry and C*-algebras, a survey on current mathematics developments at Kazan State University will be presented.
