Sep 29, 2023 · Perelman is famously known for his reclusive lifestyle. After solving the Poincaré Conjecture, he withdrew from the mathematics community and opted for a life of seclusion in his hometown of St. Petersburg, Russia.
Apr 6, 2007 · Grigori Perelman (born 1966, U.S.S.R.) is a 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.
May 30, 2024 · Perelman proved that smaller structures that mimic the actual shape—for example, curves—can be found within the overall object. More impressively, he did so in a short scientific article. About a decade later, Perelman developed new techniques in the analysis of Ricci flow, a concept used in differential geometry and geometric analysis ...
Why did Perelman turn his back on the world? This question haunts Masha Gessen’s “Perfect Rigor,” a dogged portrait of an elusive man.
