Grigori Yakovlevich Perelman (Russian: Григорий Яковлевич Перельман, pronounced [ɡrʲɪˈɡorʲɪj ˈjakəvlʲɪvʲɪtɕ pʲɪrʲɪlʲˈman] ⓘ; born 13 June 1966) is a Russian mathematician and geometer who is known for his contributions to the fields of geometric analysis, Riemannian geometry, and geometric topology.
Grigori Perelman, Russian mathematician who was awarded—and declined—the Fields Medal in 2006 for his work on the Poincare conjecture and Fields medalist William Thurston’s geometrization conjecture. He was the first mathematician ever to decline the Fields Medal.
Grigori Perelman is a Russian mathematician who proved the Poincaré Conjecture and who refused to accept a Fields Medal or the $1 000 000 Clay Prize.
Grigori Perelman is a 54-year-old Russian math genius who solved one of the world’s most challenging maths problems. But he turned down a $1 million prize
Grigori Perelman: the Reclusive Math Genius Who Declined a $1 Million ...
Perelman was born in 1966 and received his doctorate from St. Petersburg State University. He quickly became renowned for his work in Riemannian geometry and Alexandrov geometry, the latter being a form of Riemannian geometry for metric spaces. Some of Perelman’s results in Alexandrov geometry are summarized in his 1994 ICM talk [20]. We state one of his results in Riemannian geometry. In a ...
In August 2006, Perelman was awarded the Fields Medal[1] for "his contributions to geometry and his revolutionary insights into the analytical and geometric structure of the Ricci flow". Perelman declined to accept the award or to appear at the congress. On 22 December 2006, the journal Science recognized Perelman's proof of the Poincaré conjecture as the scientific "Breakthrough of the Year ...
Grigori Perelman solved the Poincaré Conjecture, one of maths' greatest mysteries, only to reject fame, fortune, and a million-dollar prize.
Grigori Perelman was born in Leningrad, Soviet Union (now Saint Petersburg, Russia) on 13 June 1966, to Jewish [7] parents, Yakov (who now lives in Israel) and Lubov.
(T) In English…Two Faces of Mathematical Innovation: what John Nash and Grigori Perelman reveal about how breakthroughs really happen "The most transformative ideas are often those that initially seem implausible." In a lecture devoted to the work of John Nash, the mathematician Cédric Villani offers, indirectly, a comparison with Grigori Perelman. Rather than contrasting two…
