The range of scientific and academic interests covers algebra, (Ring Theory, Homological Algebra, Algebraic K-theory, Linear Groups, Semigroups, Topological Algebra, Differential Algebra, Computer Algebra); Computational and Coding Theory; Algebraic Measure Theory; Theory of Models and Foundation of Matematics; Mathematical modeling.
Alexander V. Mikhalyov has solved the Bair - Koplansky problem; the Schreier - Van-der Varden problem (together with I.Z. Golubchik). He has also worked out the multiplicative classification of rings, the theory of full orthogonal algebraic systems with applications in the theory of rings ond modules (together with K.I. Beidar); has solved the Herstein's problem (todether with K.I. Beidar, W. Martindale); has worked out the theory of dimensional differential and sparse multinomials of Gilbert - Einstein - Kolchin (Together with E.V. Pankratiev, A.V. Levin); homological classification of monoids (With L.A. Skorniakov, U. Knauer); topology continuation for rings of multinomials, semigroup and group rings (With V.I. Arnautov); codes and recurrent sequences for rings and modules (with A.A. Nechaev). Together with V.K. Zakharov he has solved the problem of Riss-Padon and has worked out the theory of mathematical systems and levels of foundation of Mathematics. He has solved the MAltsev problem of elementary equivalence of linear and algebraic groups (together with K.I. Beidar and E.I. Bunina); has worked out mathematical models of management of air ciculation.
Candidate?s thesis: "Isomorphisms of Semigroups of Modules? Endomorphisms".
Doctor?s Thesis: "Endomorphisms of modules and the Multiplicative Structure of Rings".
Alexander Mikhalyov has been working at MSU for more than 35 years already.
