Remembering Sergei Duzhin
by
Sergei Chmutov
Ohio State University, Mansfield

I will recall life and work of my life long friend Sergei Duzhin who suddenly passed away on February 1, 2015 from sharp heart failure. The main topic of our collaboration with Sergei was Vassiliev knot invariants. So the mathematical part of my talk will concentrate on this theory. I will give first definitions, survey the theory, and explain our results as well as their developments. Very briefly I recall his life and other his results.
