Emmanuil Moiseevich Zhmud’ (1918-2007)
The future remarkable algebraist was born on 30th July 1918 in Dne-
propetrovsk, however, all his conscious life is connected with Kharkov,
the city where his parents moved to in 1922. The family of the boy was
quite gifted in the field of music, his father and uncle sang perfectly, and
his grandfather, who was a tailor, played the trumpet. Therefore, Em-
manuil Moiseevich was attracted to music since childhood, and his piano
playing gave admiration to all his listeners till the end of his life.
The boy inherited his abilities in sciences from his mother, who was
one of the best students of physico-mathematical faculty of Odessa Uni-
versity. His choice in favor of sciences was largely influenced by his
friendly relations with the future Nobel Prize winner, physicist Lev Lan-
dau.
However, having entered Faculty of Physics and Mathematics of
Kharkov State University (KhSU), a student Emmanuil Zhmud’ realized
that he most of all appreciated the mathematical part of physics. There-
fore, he got a transfer to the mathematical department of the faculty.

At that period he started his scientific research under the supervision
of Professor A. K. Sushkevich. At first he became interested in number
theory, then geometry and finally the theory of finite groups, to which he
devoted his life.
In 1941 E. M. Zhmud’ graduated from KhSU, but the Great Patriotic
War, that had just broken out, interrupted his further research in the field
of mathematics for some time. From 1941 till 1946 Emmanuil Moiseevich
Zhmud’ served in the Red Army. After demobilization he worked as a
researcher at the Research Institute of Mathematics and Mechanics at
KhSU and presented his PhD thesis “Non-unimodular transformations
of square forms” in 1950. He started teaching mathematics at Kharkov
Institute of Engineering and Economics in 1950. From 1958 till the early
1990s he worked at KhSU at the higher algebra department.
At the mechanico-mathematical faculty E. M. Zhmud’ permanently
taught both principal courses in higher algebra and number theory and
special courses (theory of groups, theory of algebras, representations of
finite groups, Galois theory, etc.). His lectures inspired love for algebra
in many generations of mathematicians, who either became or did not
become algebraists. The majority of students were allocated to the de-
partment of algebra being influenced by his teaching. Together with Pro-
fessor S. D. Berman he supervised the city algebraic seminar. A. Vejtsblit,
A. Vyshnevetskiy, G. Kurinnoy, and L. Pronin were among his pupils.
In 1972 E. M. Zhmud’ presented his doctoral thesis “Lattice-theoreti-
cal properties of kernels of linear representations of finite groups”. The
paper was highly evaluated by the official opponents – I. D. Ado, S. D. Ber-
man, I. M. Grayev, and its author was unanimously given the doctoral
degree in physical and mathematical sciences by the Scientific Council of
Kazan University. However, the state policy of anti-Semitism flourishing
at that period in the country caused the fact that the Higher Certifying
Committee of USSR did not confirm the verdict of the Scientific Coun-
cil. But this fact did not affect in any way the intensity of the talented
algebraist’s creative research.
E. M. Zhmud’s scientific activity never stopped during his entire life.
After his retirement he wrote no less scientific papers than he did during
his work at the university. His passion for mathematics was not just a
professional call; it was the condition of his soul. The results obtained by
him are distinguished by completeness and refinement. He was engaged
in the research of projective representations, constructed the duality be-
tween the kernels and antikernels of indecomposable representations of a
group, discovered the criterion of existence of an exact representation of
a finite group that decomposes into a given number of irreducible com-
ponents, developed the theory of symplectic geometries on finite Abelian

groups, and described finite CM-groups. He was interested in zeros of
characters of finite groups and the so-called connectivity relations on
groups during the last years of his life.
E. M. Zhmud’ is the author of more than fifty scientific papers in al-
gebra, each of which made an essential contribution to science. In co-
authorship with I. Berkovich he wrote the two-volume monograph “Char-
acters of Finite Groups”, published by American Mathematical Society
in 1999. Till his last days Emmanuil Moiseevich worked preparing the
second edition of this monograph.
Emmanuil Moiseevich was able to see beauty not only in mathematics.
He had a subtle perception and understanding of classical music, and
drew perfectly. Being fluent in French and German, he began to write his
papers in English at a rather mature age, publishing them in prestigious
international scientific journals.
Creative work presented utmost happiness for Emmanuil Moiseevich,
and he considered the ability to be engaged in it during his whole life as
a great luck. Emmanuil Moiseevich passed away on 29th December 2007.
We will always remember this wonderful and surprisingly modest person.
