He was a member of the Moscow circle of Israel Gelfand, with whom he wrote several books. Graev was the co-author with Geland and Ilya Piatetski-Shapiro of volume 5 (Integral Geometry and Representation Theory) and the co-author with Gelfand and Naum Ya. Vilenkin of volume 6 (Representation Theory and Automorphic Functions) in the 6-volume monograph series Generalized Functions.[4] In 1966 Graev was an Invited Speaker at the International Congress of Mathematicians (ICM) in Moscow. His ICM presentation Theory of Representation of Groups was joint work with Alexander Kirillov.
