Albert Schwarz is a mathematician and a theoretical physicist born in Soviet Union and now Professor at University of California-Davis (web). He was one of the pioneers of Morse theory and brought up a first example of a topological quantum field theory. Schwarz worked on some examples in noncommutative geometry. He is “S” of the famous AKSZ model.
