Mikhail Gromov Guide, Meaning , Facts, Information and Description
Mikhail (Misha) Gromov (born December 23, 1943) is a leading figure in the mathematical field of differential geometry, in which he has introduced many new ideas. He studied for a doctorate (1973) in Leningrad, where he was a student of V. A. Rokhlin. He is now a permanent member of IHES, and Jay Gould Professor of Mathematics at New York University.He was awarded the Wolf Prize in Mathematics in 1993 and the Nemmers Prize in Mathematics in 2004. He is known, amongst other things, for his h-principle on differential relations, for his work on hyperbolic groups, and for connecting symplectic topology with the almost complex manifold theory.
