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.”
