Timeline

1909

Mark Aronovich Naimark (Марк Ароно́вич Наймарк; 5 December 1909 – 30 December 1978) was a Soviet mathematician who made important contributions to functional analysis and mathematical physics.

Naimark was born on 5 December 1909 in Odessa, part of modern-day Ukraine, but which was then part of the Russian Empire.

His family was Jewish, his father Aron Iakovlevich Naimark a professional artist, and his mother was Zefir Moiseevna.

1914

He was four years old at the onset of World War I in 1914, and seven when the tumultuous Russian Revolution began in 1917.

1924

Showing an early talent for mathematics, Naimark enrolled in a technical college at the age of fifteen in 1924 soon after the Russian Civil War had ended.

1929

There he studied while working at a foundry until enrolling in the Physics and Mathematics faculty at Odessa Institute of National Education in 1929.

1930

Naimark's interests were formed in the 1930s during a golden age of functional analysis in the USSR.

His early work with Krein included development of the theory of separation of roots of algebraic equations.

Naimark also began to take interest in pedagogical techniques at this time, an interest that stayed with him for the rest of his life.

After moving to the Steklov Institute of Mathematics for his D.Sc.

Naimark worked intensively on spectral theory, extensions of symmetric operators, and the representation theory of locally compact operators.

His collaboration with Israel Gelfand in the 1930s and 1940s led to several fundamental results in functional analysis, including the 1943 Gelfand–Naimark theorem and the GNS theorem.

During his service in World War II Naimark wrote several papers on seismology and helped to develop the Spectral theory of ordinary differential equations.

He worked especially on second-order singular differential operators with a continuous spectrum, using eigenfunctions to describe their spectral decompositions and studying the concept of a spectral singularity.

1932

He married his wife Larisa Petrovna Shcherbakova in 1932, with whom he had two sons.

1933

In 1933, Naimark began graduate studies at Odessa State University in the Department of the Theory of Functions.

1936

He was supervised by the functional analyst Mark Krein, completing his candidate's dissertation in 1936.

Krein was at the time still a young mathematician, only two years older than Naimark, but had already built a research group in functional analysis, and they worked together on some of Naimark's first works on symmetric and Hermitian forms.

1938

In 1938 Naimark began his doctoral studies at the Steklov Institute of Mathematics, where he developed his renowned work on self-adjoint extensions of symmetric operators, and began a collaboration with Israel Gelfand that lasted for over a decade.

1941

He received his doctorate in 1941, and was made a chair at the Seismological Institute of the USSR Academy of Sciences.

In 1941 Hitler invaded the Soviet Union, and in the same year the Romanian and German occupation of the Ukraine led to a massacre in Naimark's hometown.

Naimark joined special duty (called "home-guard") during the war and worked on the labor front, moving to Tashkent with the Seismological Institute at the end of 1941 as the Nazi army advanced on Moscow, where he remained until 1943.

1954

After the war Naimark returned to Moscow, where he worked in various institutes, and in 1954 became a professor in the Department of Mathematics at the Physico-Technical Institute of Moscow.

His results are summarized in the monograph Linear Differential Operators, which was published in 1954.

1956

In 1956 Naimark published his monograph Normed Rings which gave the first comprehensive treatment of Banach algebras and was enormously influential in the development of the field.

1958

His 1958 monograph Linear representations of the Lorentz group helped to develop the theory of representations of the fundamental series of the complex classical groups, beginning with SL(2,C).

With Zhelobenko he later generalized these results to all complex semisimple Lie groups.

1960

In the 1960s Naimark's interests focused more intensively on the representation theory of groups and algebras in spaces with an indefinite metric, which became the subject of his last (1976) monograph, The theory of group representations.

Naimark's name is associated with several important ideas in functional analysis:

(all the above books were written in Russian)

1962

He was appointed a professor at the Steklov Institute of Mathematics in 1962, where he stayed for the remainder of his career, and supervised seven doctoral students.

During the writing of his last book, Theory of group representations, Naimark was too sick to write by himself, and so completed it by dictation to his wife.

1978

Naimark died on 30 December 1978 at age 69 after a prolonged illness, and was buried in Kuntsevo Cemetery in Moscow.

He had written 123 papers and five books.
