[1] His mother was the cousin of World Chess Champion Mikhail Botvinnik, as well as of the mathematician Isaak Moiseevich Rabinovich. [2]
Mikhail Mikhailovich Gromov (Russian: Михаи́л Миха́йлович Гро́мов; 24 February [O.S. 12 February] 1899 – 22 January 1985) was a Russian and Soviet military aviator, test pilot, and Hero of the Soviet Union.
Mikhail Gromov, a test pilot, Hero of the Soviet Union, became its first chief. From the very beginning the institute participated in development and testing of aircraft and airborne systems, conducted flight research in order to pave the way to further scientific activities.
Mikhail Gromov or Mikhael Gromov (Russian: Михаи́л Гро́мов) may refer to: Mikhael Gromov (mathematician) (Mikhail "Misha" Leonidovich Gromov, born 1943) Mikhail Gromov (aviator) (Mikhail Mikhailovich Gromov, 1899–1985)
Gromov used this theory to prove a non-squeezing theorem concerning symplectic embeddings of spheres into cylinders. Gromov showed that certain moduli spaces of pseudoholomorphic curves (satisfying additional specified conditions) are compact , and described the way in which pseudoholomorphic curves can degenerate when only finite energy is ...
The theory was started by Yakov Eliashberg, Mikhail Gromov and Anthony V. Phillips. It was based on earlier results that reduced partial differential relations to homotopy, particularly for immersions. The first evidence of h-principle appeared in the Whitney–Graustein theorem.
Systolic freedom was first detected by Mikhail Gromov in an I.H.É.S. preprint in 1992 (which eventually appeared as Gromov 1996), and was further developed by Mikhail Katz, Michael Freedman and others. Gromov's observation was elaborated on by Marcel Berger .
"Manifold Destiny" is an article in The New Yorker written by Sylvia Nasar and David Gruber and published in the 28 August 2006 issue of the magazine. [1] It claims to give a detailed account (including interviews with many mathematicians) of some of the circumstances surrounding the proof of the Poincaré conjecture, one of the most important accomplishments of 20th and 21st century ...
