He provided the first proof of the mirror conjecture for Calabi–Yau manifolds that are complete intersections in toric ambient spaces, in particular for quintic hypersurfaces in P4. He is now Professor of Mathematics at the University of California, Berkeley. As an extracurricular activity, he translates Russian poetry into English and publishes books, including his own translation of a textbook in geometry by Andrey Kiselyov and poetry of Marina Tsvetaeva. Givental is a father of two. (en)
  • Alexander B. Givental (* russisch Александр Борисович Гивенталь; 27. April 1958) ist ein russischstämmiger US-amerikanischer Mathematiker, der sich mit symplektischer Topologie, Singularitätentheorie und algebraischer Geometrie mit Wechselwirkungen zur Stringtheorie beschäftigt. Givental ist ein Schüler von Wladimir Arnold, bei dem er 1987 an der Lomonossow-Universität promovierte (Singularities of Solutions of Hamilton-Jacobi Equations in Variational Problems with Inequality Constraints). Er ist seit etwa Mitte der 1990er Jahre Professor an der Universität Berkeley. Von 1993 bis 1995 war er Sloan Research Fellow. Nachdem Stringtheoretiker 1991 auf Calabi-Yau-Mannigfaltigkeiten, speziell auf dreidimensionalen algebraischen Varietäten , mit Hilfe einer zu anderen Calabi-Yau-Mannigfaltigkeiten abzählen konnten, war Givental einer der Mathematiker, der dafür eine mathematische strenge Begründung an speziellen Calabi-Yau-Mannigfaltigkeiten fand. Givental verwendete dabei die Floerhomologie und . 1994 war er Invited Speaker auf dem ICM (Homological geometry and mirror symmetry). Er gab das in Russland seit 1892 verbreitete Geometrielehrbuch von Andrei Petrowitsch Kisseljow in englischer Übersetzung heraus. (de)
  • Alexander Givental (em russo: Александр Борисович Гивенталь; 1958) é um matemático russo-estadunidense. Trabalha nas áreas de geometria simplética, teoria das singularidades e suas relações com a teoria topológica das cordas. Obteve um Ph.D. em 1987, supervisionado por Vladimir Arnold. Forneceu a primeira prova da conjectura do espelho para variedades de Calabi-Yau tóricas, em particular para hipersuperfícies do quinto grau em P4.
