Stan K-B: We all miss Dmitri Nabokov, but of his many, many admired
achievements, command of the profound mathematics/physics of
symmetry/antisymmetry is not apparent in any publications I've encountered.
Refs requested.



In pre-SKB times, when Galya Diment was the List's editor, she posted a NY
Times article celebrating VN's centennial on April 21, 1999, from which I
remembered the following passage:



"Dmitri Nabokov, once a fast-living opera singer and race-car driver, now
chastened by a near-death experience after a fiery crash and the death of
his

mother in 1991, has decided to devote himself to literature. He is revising
his own novel about parallel lives, which has a love scene told in
mathematical

formulas."
