Gennadi Henkin


Gennadi Markovich Henkin was a Russian mathematician and mathematical economist.
Henkin studied at Moscow State University, where he received his doctorate in 1967 and habilitated in 1973. From 1973 he was a senior scientist at the Central Economic Mathematical Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences. From 1991 he was a professor at the Pierre et Marie Curie University.
He published on complex analysis, functional analysis, mathematical economics, evolution equations, integral geometry, and inverse problems.
In 1983 he was an Invited Speaker with talk Tangent Cauchy-Riemann equations and the Yang-Mills, Higgs and Dirac fields at the International Congress of Mathematicians in Warsaw. In 1992 he shared, with Victor Polterovich, the Kondratiev Prize in mathematical economics from the Russian Academy of Sciences for works on Schumpeterian dynamics and nonlinear wave theory. In 2011 he received the Stefan Bergman Prize for "fundamental contributions to the theory of functions on complex manifolds, integral representations in several complex variables, and the multidimensional Cauchy-Riemann equations".
