Boris Petrovich Komrakov (Борис Петрович Комраков; born 30 October 1948, in Ivano-Frankivsk) is a Russian mathematician, who works on Lie groups.
Komrakov received his PhD in 1991 at the University of Tartu in Estonia with thesis Primitive Actions and the Sophus Lie Problem;[1] however, while living in Minsk he had published papers since the 1970s. He is a professor and the director of the International Sophus Lie Center founded in 1990 in Minsk; the center collaborates with the University of Oslo. In 1997 Komrakov received the Lobachevsky Medal fof[clarification needed] his work on the theory of Lie groups, in particular for Primitive Actions and the Sophus Lie Problem and the book Structures on Manifolds and Homogeneous Spaces.[2] Komrakov has contributed to the theory of the Lie groups with applications in differential geometry and the theory of differential equations.
