He was one of the major figures of the Soviet school of functional analysis.
In the 70s he emigrated to Israel and was on the faculty of Tel Aviv University. Milman is known for his development of functional analysis methods, particularly in operator theory, in close connection with concrete problems coming from mathematical physics, in particular differential equations and normal modes.
The Krein–Milman theorem and the Milman–Pettis theorem are named after him. Milman received his Ph.D.
