Vladimir Abramovich Rokhlin is recognized among Jewish contributors to Science & Medicine — Topology and ergodic theory; Rokhlin's theorem
Rokhlin, a Soviet Jewish mathematician who was captured during the Second World War and later concealed his survival, made fundamental contributions to topology and ergodic theory. His Rokhlin theorem on the signature of smooth four-manifolds became a cornerstone of low-dimensional topology, and his work on measure-preserving transformations shaped modern ergodic theory. He trained many of the leading Soviet mathematicians of the following generation.
