Vyacheslav Shokurov Biography

Vyacheslav Shokurov is one of the most popular and richest Mathematician who was born on May 18, 1950 in Moscow, Russia. Vyacheslav Vladimirovich Shkurov (Russian: Viacheslav Vladimirovich Shokurov born on 18 May 1950) is a Russian mathematician whose fame is primarily due to his research on algebraic geometry. The proof of the Noether-Enriques-Petri theorem, the cone theorem, the existence of a line on smooth Fano varieties and, finally, the existence of log flips–these are several of Shokurov’s contributions to the subject.

In the latter half of the 80’s, Shokurov began contributing to developing MMP. Minimal model program (MMP). In 1984, he released an article titled The closed cone of curvatures of algebraic 3-folds in which he proved that the negative region within the closed cone curves of an algebraic 3-fold (with acceptable imperfections) can be locally polyhedral. In the year 1985 Shokurov wrote a study called The nonvanishing theorem which was a foundational piece of the entire MMP in its use to prove such fundamental theorems like the Cone theorem as well as The Semi-ampleness theory. In this study, Shokurov proved the termination of three-dimensional flips. Even though he demonstrated this only for three-dimensional types however, the majority of his methods were later adapted by Yujiro Kawamata in order to achieve similar results for variations with any dimensions.

The year 1983 saw Shokurov’s article Prym varieties Theory and Applications was published. In it, Shokurov was able to complete the task of solving the Schottky-type puzzle for Prym varieties, which was first introduced in the papers by Arnaud Beauville, and Andrey Tyurin. Shokurov discovered a criterion that lets you determine if the most Polarized Prym variant of a Beauville’s couple, subject to certain stability conditions are the Jacobian of a smooth curve. The main use of this criterion derived the Iskovskikh’s criteria for rationality of a conventional conic bundle, whose basis is a smooth minima rational surface.

In 1968, Shokurov was admitted to his Faculty of Mechanics and Mathematics of Moscow State University. As an undergraduate, Shokurov showed himself to be a mathematician of exceptional potential. In 1970, he proved the scheme analog of the Noether-Enriques-Petri theorem, which later allowed him to solve a Schottky-type problem for the polarized Prym varieties, and to prove the existence of a line on smooth Fano varieties.

After completing his studies, Shokurov was accepted into after his graduation into the Ph.D. program at Moscow State University under the supervision of Yuri Manin. The time was when Shokurov focused on the geometrical aspects and geometry of Kuga varieties. The results he came up with in this field became the basis of his thesis . He was granted the title of Ph.D. (“candidate degree”) in the year 1976.

One of Shokurov’s ideas formed a basis for a paper titled 3-fold log flips where the existence of three-dimensional flips (first proved by Shigefumi Mori) was established in a more general log setting. The inductive method and the singularity theory of log pairs developed in the framework of that paper allowed most of the paper’s results to be later generalized to arbitrary- dimensional varieties. Later on, in 2001, Shokurov announced the proof of the existence of 4-dimensional log flips, whose complete version appeared in two books: Flips for 3-folds and 4-folds and Birational geometry: linear systems and finitely-generated algebras. An application of Shokurov’s ideas concerning the existence of log flips has led to the paper Existence of minimal models for varieties of log general type by Caucher Birkar, Paolo Cascini, Christopher Hacon and James McKernan.
