Mathematical work

Anatoly T. Fomenko is a full member (Academician) of the Russian Academy of Sciences, the Russian Academy of Natural Sciences and the International Higher Education Academy of Sciences, as well as a doctor of physics and mathematics, a professor, and head of the Differential Geometry Department of the Faculty of Mathematics and Mechanics in Moscow State University. Fomenko is the author of the theory of invariants and topological classification of integrable Hamiltonian dynamic systems. He is the author of 180 scientific publications, 26 monographs and textbooks on mathematics, a specialist in geometry and topology, variational calculus, symplectic topology, Hamiltonian geometry and mechanics, and computer geometry. Fomenko is also the author of a number of books on the development of new empirico-statistical methods and their application to the analysis of historical chronicles as well as the chronology of antiquity and the Middle Ages.

Fomenko is the author of extensive writings in his original fields of mathematics, and is also famous for his original drawings, inspired by topological objects and structures (http://anatoly-fomenko.com). Topology (Greek topos = place and logos = word) is a branch of mathematics concerned with the study of topological spaces. ...

Historical work

Fomenko is a supporter of revising chronological history. He has created his own revision called "New Chronology", based on statistical correlations, dating of zodiacs, and by examining the mathematics and astronomy involved in chronology. Fomenko said that he discovered that many historical events did not correspond mathematically with the dates they were supposed to have occurred. Fomenko asserts that all of ancient history (including the history of Greece, Rome, and Egypt) is just a reflection of events that occurred in the Middle Ages and that all of Chinese and Arab history are fabrications of 17th and 18th century Jesuits. He also claims that Jesus lived in the 11th century A.D. and that the Trojan war and the Crusades were the same historical event. He claims that Genghis Khan and the Mongols were actually Russians. He talks about all of this in his book History: Fiction or Science? It's a projected series of seven volumes. The first two are currently available in English. Cover of History: Fiction or Science? Chronology 1 The New Chronology of Anatoly Timofeevich Fomenko is an attempt to rewrite world chronology, based on his conclusion that world chronology as we know it today is fundamentally flawed. ...
