Scholar-generated biography
Boris Khesin is a Professor of Mathematics at the University of Toronto, specializing in the application of topological and geometric methods to fluid dynamics and infinite-dimensional Lie theory. His research explores the interplay between differential geometry, integrable systems, and nonlinear partial differential equations. Khesin's work includes the study of Euler equations on homogeneous spaces, the geometry of diffeomorphism groups, and the analysis of geodesic flows on pseudo-Riemannian manifolds. He has also contributed to the understanding of symplectic structures, Poisson-Lie groups, and the integrability of higher-order pentagram maps. His research bridges mathematical physics and geometry, offering insights into the dynamics of fluids and the structure of infinite-dimensional spaces.
