Viacheslav V. Nikulin

Viacheslav Valentinovich Nikulin (Slava) is a Russian mathematician working in the algebraic geometry of K3 surfaces and Calabi–Yau threefolds, mirror symmetry, the arithmetic of quadratic forms, and hyperbolic Kac–Moody algebras.[1] He is a professor of mathematics at the University of Liverpool. A third chair of mathematics was established for Nikulin in 1999, the second chair having been established in 1964 for C. T. C. Wall and the first having been established in 1882.[2] Nikulin has made contributions towards the solution of Hilbert's 16th problem.[3]

gollark: Oh, you mean "have people externally label a page", not "have the pages have pointers to an external service".
gollark: There is empirical evidence of this in that we actually have the the various `aria-` attributes now, and basically nothing uses them, although that might just be because we have plenty of semantic elements anyway.
gollark: If you make it rely on explicit annotations, nobody will actually do this.
gollark: For instance, the scripting language is Lua, storage is... SQLite..., pages are also Lua table notation, and headers are Lua table notation too.
gollark: We're going all Lua here, for purposes.
