Ján Mináč (born 15 June 1953) is a Slovak-Canadian mathematician who is a professor of mathematics at The University of Western Ontario. His research interests include Galois groups, Galois cohomology, quadratic forms, and nonlinear dynamics.

Early life and education

Mináč received his bachelor's degree and his master's level RNDr. degree from Comenius University, Czechoslovakia in 1976 and 1977 respectively. He then earned his Ph.D. in 1986 from Queen’s University in Canada under the supervision of Paulo Ribenboim. The title of his thesis is "Galois Groups, Order Spaces, and Valuations".[1]

His brother Matej Mináč is a film director.

Career

Mináč was a member of Mathematical Sciences Research Institute at Berkeley from 1986 to 1987 and then an NSF Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of California at Berkeley from 1987 to 1989. Afterward, he joined the University of Western Ontario as an assistant professor in 1989. He became an associate professor in 1991 and a full professor in 2003.[2]

Research

Mináč and Nguyễn Duy Tân formulated the Mináč-Tân conjectures on the vanishing of Massey products over fields and the kernel unipotent conjecture.[3][4][5] He has also worked on Galois theory and quadratic forms,[6] Galois Demushkin groups,[7][8] mild pro-2-groups,[9] Galois modules,[10] small quotients of Absolute Galois groups,[11][12][13] ghosts in group cohomology,[14] Koszulity properties of Galois cohomology,[15][16] and Zassenhaus filtrations.[17][18][19]

Mináč has also worked on non-linear dynamics in networks and its applications to computational neuroscience.[20]

Awards

Mináč received the Distinguished Research Professor Award at Western University during the years 2004-2005 and 2020-2021.[21][22] In 2019, he became a Fellow of the Canadian Mathematical Society.[23] During the year 2022-2023, he was a fellow at the Western Academy for Advanced Research.[24] In 2013 he received an Excellence in Teaching Award from the Canadian Mathematical Society.[25] Mináč also received multiple teaching awards at the University of Western Ontario.

Metal and Allied Workers' Union

Trade union in South Africa Logo of the union The Metal and Allied Workers' Union (MAWU) was a trade union representing workers in metalworking, engineering and related industries in South Africa. The union was founded in April 1974 in Pietermaritzburg, with the assistance of the General Factory Workers' Benefit Fund. It admitted all workers, regardless of ethnicity, and so was unable to apply for official recognition. By the end of the year, it also had a branch in Durban, and from 1975 it w...

Specific angular momentum

Vector quantity in celestial mechanics In celestial mechanics, the specific relative angular momentum (often denoted h → {\displaystyle {\vec {h}}} or h {\displaystyle \mathbf {h} } ) of a body is the angular momentum of that body divided by its mass.[1] In the case of two orbiting bodies it is the vector product of their relative position and relative linear momentum, divided by the mass of the body in question. Specific relative angular momentum plays a pivotal role in the an...
