Biography

Nikita Nekrasov is recognized among Jewish contributors to Science & Medicine — Mathematical physicist of the Nekrasov partition function; Heineman Prize (2023)

How & why

Nikita Nekrasov is a Russian-American mathematical physicist at the Simons Center for Geometry and Physics whose 'Nekrasov partition function' gave exact results for supersymmetric gauge theories and deepened links between physics, integrable systems and geometry; he received the Dannie Heineman Prize for Mathematical Physics in 2023. His scientific record is thoroughly documented, but public biographies do not state a religious or ethnic identity, so no Jewish identity is asserted here.
