Arif Salimov
Arif Salimov (A.A. Salimov, born 1956, Azerbaijani: Arif Səlimov) is an Azerbaijani/Soviet mathematician, known for his research in differential geometry. He obtained a B.Sc. degree from Baku State University, Azerbaijan in 1978, a PhD and Doctor of Sciences (Habilitation) degrees in geometry from Kazan State University, Russia in 1984 and 1998, respectively. His advisor was Vladimir Vishnevskii.[1] Salimov is currently a full professor in the department of mathematics at Ataturk University, Turkey. He is an author and co-author of more than 100 articles.[2][3][4][5] His primary areas of research are:
- theory of lifts in tensor bundles
- geometrical applications of tensor operators
- special Riemannian manifolds, indefinite metrics
- general geometric structures on manifolds (almost complex, almost product, hypercomplex, Norden structures etc.)
