Nikolai Grigorievich Chebotaryov (often spelled Chebotarov or Chebotarev, Ukrainian: Мико́ла Григо́рович Чеботарьо́в, Russian: Никола́й Григо́рьевич Чеботарёв) (15 June [ O.S. 3 June] 1894 – 2 July 1947) was a Soviet mathematician. [1] He is best known for the Chebotaryov density theorem. [2]
He was a student of Dmitry Grave, a Russian mathematician. [3] Chebotaryov worked on the algebra of polynomials, in particular examining the distribution of the zeros. He also studied Galois theory and wrote a textbook on the subject titled Basic Galois Theory. His ideas were used by Emil Artin to prove the Artin reciprocity law. [4] He worked with his student Anatoly Dorodnov on a generalization of the quadrature of the lune, [5] and proved the conjecture now known as the Chebotaryov theorem on roots of unity.
Nikolai Chebotaryov was born on 15 June 1894 in Kamianets-Podilskyi, Russian Empire (now in Ukraine). He entered the department of physics and mathematics at Kyiv University in 1912. In 1928 he became a professor at Kazan University, remaining there for the rest of his life. He died on 2 July 1947. He was an atheist. [6] On 14 May 2010 a memorial plaque for Nikolai Chebotaryov was unveiled on the main administration building of I.I. Mechnikov Odessa National University. [7]
