[4] Perelman's first two papers claimed to prove the geometrization conjecture; the third paper gives an argument which would obviate the technical work in the second half of the second paper in order to give a shortcut to prove the Poincaré conjecture.

Although there were people captured by Plains tribes and adopted into the tribe, their lives were generally not so romantic as that of the fictional Morgan. 2, 289–319. In the setting of Kähler geometry, due to the corresponding version of the Poincaré lemma, this differential graded algebra has a decomposition into holomorphic and anti-holomorphic parts. Starting in 2003, and culminating in a 2008 publication, Bruce Kleiner and John Lott posted detailed annotations of Perelman's first two papers to their websites, covering his work on the proof of the geometrization conjecture.

In July 2009, he was the founding director of the Simons Center for Geometry and Physics at Stony Brook University, which is a research center devoted to the interface between mathematics and physics. He was an instructor at Princeton University from 1969 to 1972, and an assistant professor at MIT from 1972 to 1974. This is a revised version taking in account the comments of the referees and others. We welcome any additional information. In collaboration with Pierre Deligne, Phillip Griffiths, and Sullivan, Morgan used this decomposition to apply Sullivan's theory to study the topology of simply-connected compact Kähler manifolds. Many mathematicians found Perelman's work to be hard to follow due to a lack of detail on a number of technical points. American Mathematical Society, Providence, RI; Clay Mathematics Institute, Cambridge, MA, 2007. xlii+521 pp. Education. According to our current on-line database, John Morgan has 7 students and 7 descendants. 5, 2587–2855. "[7] The level of detail in Morgan and Tian's work was criticized in 2015 by mathematician Abbas Bahri, who found a counterexample to one of their claims corresponding to Perelman's third paper. John Morgan and Gang Tian. Their primary result is that the real homotopy type of such a space is determined by its cohomology ring. Elliptic surfaces with, John W.

Learn how and when to remove this template message, plenary lecture at the International Congress of Mathematicians, Ergebnisse der Mathematik und ihrer Grenzgebiete. In 2002 and 2003, Grigori Perelman posted three papers to the arXiv which purported to use Richard Hamilton's theory of Ricci flow solve the geometrization conjecture in three-dimensional topology, of which the renowned Poincaré conjecture is a special case. Please allow 24 hours for your entry to be reviewed for appropriate content. Math. Marketing and Entrepreneurship Faculty and Staff. In 2006, Morgan gave a plenary lecture at the International Congress of Mathematicians in Madrid, saying that Perelman's work had "now been thoroughly checked. [2] One of the simplest examples of a differential graded algebra is the space of smooth differential forms on a smooth manifold, so that Sullivan was able to apply his theory to understand the topology of smooth manifolds.
