Henri Poincare - one of the most famous French scientists of all time.During his life, he managed to achieve a lot.In addition, he made a lot of discoveries in various fields of knowledge, it is also for many years he taught at the Sorbonne and was a member of the French Academy of Sciences, and from 1906 until his death in 1912 he was its president.In today's world most famous for his achievement is considered Poincaré, which has been proven Perelman.
attempts to prove
many scientists for many years engaged in the study of the theorem, but were successful only a few people.One of the major breakthroughs made American scholar Thurston.The essence of his work is that he was able to visually illustrate the diversity of the elements of three-dimensional plane.Jobs was named Thurston geometrization conjecture, but for her, he was awarded the Fields Medal.
Several Chinese scholars have also been interested in the fact that Poincare theorem has been proved.Among them stands out Shin Tung Yau, who even made the statement that he and his disciples managed to do it.
Work Perelman
Perelman proved the theorem of Poincare, after many years of hard work on it.He began his studies, while in America, where for a long time has lectured at various universities.After his first meeting with American researchers Hamilton, who helped him to clarify some aspects of string theory, he thought about the proof of the theorem.After some time, he decided to return to his native St. Petersburg, where he diligently set to work.
In 2002, Perelman posted the first part of his work and sent her a copy of the Shin Yau Tong, so that he could give her an objective assessment.Even then, the scientific world has learned that Poincaré proved.For several months, Perelman has published two articles in which his work was presented in a very concise manner.
accepted in the scientific world, so that before they make an official statement about the opening, it must confirm the number of different researchers, and only then work can be officially published.Before the proof was published, Poincaré-Perelman has been examined many times, and this work is complicated by the fact that it included a large number of cuts and there was little explanation for such a serious work.However, after some time, it was recognized that Perelman succeeded in solving the problem, which fought over many generations of scientists.
Fields Medal
This award is given only once in four years, no more than four scientists who have made a significant contribution to the study of mathematics.Her and Perelman was awarded in 2006 for proving the Poincare conjecture, but, oddly enough, he gave up a prestigious award and was not present at the presentation.According to the scientist, it is not important for the honors, he has brought pleasure to the fact that the hypothesis is proved.
Poincaré is a mystery to many scientists, but it was an eccentric Russian mathematician was able to make its decision, and to find answers to questions that a long time worried the whole scientific world.
