Grigori Perelman Biography

Grigori Perelman is one of the most popular and richest Mathematician who was born on June 13, 1966 in Saint Petersburg, Russia. Russian mathematician, renowned for his research on Riemannian geometries and topological geometry. In his career, he has demonstrated a variety of important theorems.

Andrew Wiles is another influential mathematician of the twentieth century. is another famous mathematician from the 20th century.

Perelman’s most notable work in this period was in the field of Alexandrov spaces, the concept of which dates back to the 1950s. In a well-known 1992 paper coauthored with Yuri Burago and Mikhail Gromov, Perelman laid out the modern foundations of this field, with the notion of Gromov-Hausdorff convergence as an organizing principle. In 1993, Perelman developed a notion of Morse theory on these non-smooth spaces. For his work on Alexandrov spaces, Perelman was invited to lecture at the 1994 International Congress of Mathematicians.

Grigori Yakovlevich Perelman was born in Leningrad, Soviet Union (now Saint Petersburg, Russia) on 13 June 1966, to Russian-Jewish parents Yakov (who now lives in Israel) and Lyubov (who still lives in Saint Petersburg with Grigori). Grigori’s mother Lyubov gave up graduate work in mathematics to raise him. Grigori’s mathematical talent became apparent at the age of ten, and his mother enrolled him in Sergei Rukshin’s after-school mathematics training program.

He turned down three awards because he wasn’t a fan of the attention they garnered and felt that other people were deserving of the honor.

The mathematician is the first mathematician named “Breakthrough of the Year” by Science magazine.

The Poincaré conjecture, proposed by French mathematician Henri Poincaré in 1904, was one of the key problems in topology. Any loop on a 3-sphere—as exemplified by the set of points at a distance of 1 from the origin in four- dimensional Euclidean space—can be contracted into a point. The Poincaré conjecture asserts that any closed three-dimensional manifold, such that any loop can be contracted into a point, is topologically a 3-sphere. The analogous result has been known to be true in dimensions greater than or equal to five since 1960 as in the work of Stephen Smale. The four-dimensional case resisted longer, finally being solved in 1982 by Michael Freedman. But the case of three-manifolds turned out to be the hardest of them all. Roughly speaking, this is because in topologically manipulating a three-manifold there are too few dimensions to move “problematic regions” out of the way without interfering with something else. The most fundamental contribution to the three-dimensional case had been produced by Richard S. Hamilton. The role of Perelman was to complete the Hamilton program.

However, it was widely expected that the process would be impeded by developing “singularities.” In the 1990s, Hamilton made progress on understanding the possible types of singularities which may occur, but was unable to provide a comprehensive description. Perelman’s articles sketched a solution. According to Perelman, every singularity looks either like a cylinder collapsing to its axis, or a sphere collapsing to its center. With this understanding, he was able to construct a modification of the standard Ricci flow, called Ricci flow with surgery, which can systematically excise singular regions as they develop, in a controlled way. The idea for Ricci flow with surgery had been present since a 1993 article of Hamilton, who had successfully carried it out in 1997 in the setting of higher-dimensional spaces subject to certain restricted geometric conditions. Perelman’s surgery procedure was broadly similar to Hamilton’s but was strikingly different in its technical aspects.

Facts & Trivia

Grigori Ranked on the list of most popular Mathematician. Also ranked in the elit list of famous people born in Russia. Grigori Perelman celebrates birthday on June 13 of every year.

In the 1990s, partly in collaboration with Yuri Burago and Mikhail Gromov, he made influential contributions to the study of Alexandrov spaces. In 1994, he proved the soul conjecture in Riemannian geometry, which had been an open problem for the previous 20 years. In 2002 and 2003, he developed new techniques in the analysis of Ricci flow, and provided a detailed sketch of a proof of Thurston’s geometrization conjecture, the full details of which were filled in by various authors over the following several years. As a special case, this solved in the affirmative the Poincaré conjecture, which had been a famous open problem in mathematics for the past century.

What is Grigori Perelman famous for?

Grigori Perelman, (born 1966, U.S.S.R.) , Russian mathematician who was awarded—and declined—the Fields Medal in 2006 for his work on the Poincaré conjecture and Fields medalist William Thurston’s geometrization conjecture.

What did Grigori Perelman prove?

Quick Info. 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.

Why did Grigori Perelman declined the medal?

Russian mathematician Grigori Perelman declined Fields Medal, considered Nobel of mathematics, and the inaugural $1-million Millennium Prize of Clay Mathematics Institute, saying he had no interest in money and fame and that he did not want to be on display like a zoo animal.

How long did Grigori Perelman take to solve?

Fields Medal and Millennium Prize Sir John Ball, president of the International Mathematical Union, approached Perelman in Saint Petersburg in June 2006 to persuade him to accept the prize. After 10 hours of attempted persuasion over two days , Ball gave up.

Who is the first mathematician in the world?

One of the earliest known mathematicians were Thales of Miletus (c. 624–c. 546 BC); he has been hailed as the first true mathematician and the first known individual to whom a mathematical discovery has been attributed.
