Work
Vostokov developed an important class of explicit formulas for the Hilbert symbol on local fields, which have a wide range of applications in number theory.[1]
His formulas generalize to formal groups. A generalization of his explicit formula to higher local fields is called the Vostokov symbol. It plays an important role in higher local class field theory.[2]
Prizes
For his 60th birthday, two special volumes of St Petersburg Mathematical Society of Vostokov were published in Russian and English by the American Mathematical Society.[3][4]
In 2014 Vostokov was awarded the Chebyshev Prize.[5]
