He was noted for his work in descriptive set theory and aspects of mathematical analysis with strong connections to point-set topology. In Mathematical logic, descriptive set theory is the study of certain classes of " Well-behaved " subsets of the Real line and other Analysis has its beginnings in the rigorous formulation of Calculus. In Mathematics, general topology or point-set topology is the branch of Topology which studies properties of Topological spaces and structures He was the eponym of Luzitania, a loose grouping of young Moscow mathematicians in the first half of the 1920s. They adopted his set-theoretic orientation, and went on to apply it in other areas of mathematics.

In the 1920s Luzin organized a famous research seminar at Moscow University. His doctoral students included some of the most famous Soviet mathematicians: Pavel Aleksandrov, Nina Bari, Aleksandr Khinchin, Andrey Kolmogorov, Alexander Kronrod, Mikhail Lavrentyev, Lazar Lyusternik, Pyotr Novikov, Lev Schnirelmann, and Pavel Urysohn.

The Luzin affair of 1936
In July-August 1936 Luzin was criticised in Pravda in a series of articles. Year 1936 ( MCMXXXVI) was a Leap year starting on Wednesday (link will display the full calendar of the Gregorian calendar. Pravda (Правда "The Truth" was a leading Newspaper of the Soviet Union and an official organ of the Central Committee of the It was alleged that he published “would-be scientific papers,” “felt no shame in declaring the discoveries of his students to be his own achievements,” stood close to the ideology of the “black hundred”, orthodoxy, and monarchy “fascist-type modernized but slightly. ” Luzin was claimed at a special trial of a Commission of the Academy of Sciences of the USSR which endorsed all accusations of Luzin as an enemy under the mask of a Soviet citizen. The method of political insinuations and slander was used against the old Muscovite professorship many years before the article in Pravda. The declaration of November 21, 1930 of the “initiative group” of the Moscow Mathematical Society which consisted of his former students Lazar Lyusternik and Lev Shnirelman, along with Alexander Gelfond, and Lev Pontryagin claimed that “there appeared active counter-revolutionaries among mathematicians. The Moscow Mathematical Society is a society of Moscow Mathematicians aimed at the development of mathematics in Russia. Alexander Osipovich Gelfond (Александр Осипович Гельфонд October 24 1906, St Petersburg — November 7 1968 Lev Semenovich Pontryagin ( Russian Лев Семёнович Понтрягин ( 3 September 1908 &ndash 3 May 1988) was a ” Some of these were pointed out, namely, Dimitri Egorov who had been arrested a few years before in 1930 and died in 1931.
The political offensive against Luzin was launched not only by Stalin's repressive ideological authorities but also by a group of Luzin's students headed by Pavel Alexandrov. Joseph Stalin ( ნამდვილი გვარი ჯუღაშვილი|Iosif Vissarionovich Dzhugashvili; March 5 1953 was General Secretary of the Communist Party Pavel Sergeyevich Alexandrov (Па́вел Серге́евич Алекса́ндров sometimes romanized Aleksandroff or Aleksandrov ( November 16 Although the Commission convicted Luzin, he was not expelled from the Academy nor arrested. There has been some speculation about why his punishment was so much milder than that of most people condemned at that time, but the reason for this does not seem to be known for certain. However, he was never rehabilitated even after the death of Stalin. Rehabilitation (реабилитация in the context of Soviet or Russian topics is often a linguistic False cognate used to translate the Russian
