Victor Alexandrovich Kolyvagin (Russian: Виктор Александрович Колывагин, born 11 March, 1955) is a Russian mathematician who wrote a series of papers on Euler systems, leading to breakthroughs on the Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer conjecture, and Iwasawa's conjecture for cyclotomic fields.[1] His work also influenced Andrew Wiles's work on Fermat's Last Theorem.[2][3]
