Vladimir C

Vladimir Chernov is a Professor of Mathematics at Dartmouth College, specializing in contact and symplectic geometry, geometric and low-dimensional topology, and the connections between topology and Lorentz geometry. His research bridges pure mathematics and mathematical physics, examining fundamental structures in geometry, spacetime, and topology.

Professor Chernov has published extensively in premier mathematics journals, including the Journal of Symplectic Geometry, Communications in Mathematical Physics, Geometry & Topology, Journal of Geometry and Physics, and the Journal of the London Mathematical Society. His work spans Legendrian isotopy, Lorentz manifolds, causal structures in spacetime, and the topology of curves and surfaces. Current research projects explore Lorentz geometry, spaces of light rays, smooth structures on spacetimes, and virtual knots and curves.

At Indigo, Professor Chernov will also mentor students on extremal curves for Arnold invariants of curves on surfaces and constructive real analysis through linear algebra, planar geometry, and the study of averages and means.
