Timeline

1943

Victor Gershevich (Grigorievich) Kac (Виктор Гершевич (Григорьевич) Кац; born 19 December 1943) is a Soviet and American mathematician at MIT, known for his work in representation theory.

He co-discovered Kac–Moody algebras, and used the Weyl–Kac character formula for them to reprove the Macdonald identities.

He classified the finite-dimensional simple Lie superalgebras, and found the Kac determinant formula for the Virasoro algebra.

He is also known for the Kac–Weisfeiler conjectures with Boris Weisfeiler.

1965

Kac studied mathematics at Moscow State University, receiving his MS in 1965 and his PhD in 1968.

1967

"Almost simultaneously in 1967, Victor Kac in the USSR and Robert Moody in Canada developed what was to become Kac–Moody algebra. Kac and Moody noticed that if Wilhelm Killing's conditions were relaxed, it was still possible to associate to the Cartan matrix a Lie algebra which, necessarily, would be infinite dimensional."

– A.J. Coleman

1968

From 1968 to 1976, he held a teaching position at the Moscow Institute of Electronic Machine Building (MIEM).

1977

He left the Soviet Union in 1977, becoming an associate professor of mathematics at MIT.

1978

In 1978 he was an invited speaker (Highest weight representations of infinite dimensional Lie algebras) at the International Congress of Mathematicians (ICM) in Helsinki.

1981

In 1981, he was promoted to full professor.

Kac received a Sloan Fellowship and the Medal of the Collège de France, both in 1981, and a Guggenheim Fellowship in 1986.

1988

Kac was a plenary speaker at the 1988 American Mathematical Society centennial conference.

1996

He received the Wigner Medal (1996) "in recognition of work on affine Lie algebras that has had wide influence in theoretical physics".

2002

In 2002 he gave a plenary lecture, Classification of Supersymmetries, at the ICM in Beijing.

Kac is a Fellow of the American Mathematical Society, an honorary member of the Moscow Mathematical Society, Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences and a Member of the National Academy of Sciences.

The research of Victor Kac primarily concerns representation theory and mathematical physics.

His work appears in mathematics and physics and in the development of quantum field theory, string theory and the theory of integrable systems.

Kac has published 13 books and over 200 articles in mathematics and physics journals and is listed as an ISI highly cited researcher.

2015

Victor Kac was awarded the 2015 AMS Leroy P. Steele Prize for Lifetime Achievement.

He was married with Michèle Vergne and they have a daughter, Marianne Kac-Vergne, who is a professor of American civilization at the university of Picardie.

His brother Boris Katz is a principal research scientist at MIT.
