		Efim Zelmanov, a former Yale University mathematics professor and recipient of the Fields Medal, commonly known as the Nobel Prize for mathematicians, has joined the faculty at the University of California, San Diego.
		Zelmanov’s presence on the campus is expected to draw other top mathematicians from around the world, enhancing the intellectual excitement and international reputation of the university’s mathematics faculty.
		Zelmanov, who occupies the same office used by both Yau and Freedman, says he was drawn to UCSD “by the beauty of San Diego and the dynamic intellectual atmosphere here.

	Fields Medalist Symposium « What’s new
		Efim gave a much more technical, but also very beautiful, talk on some cutting edge research in group theory, revolving around the extent to which a group can be understood from a prescribed set of relations.
		Efim and Lubotzky then conjectured that the LS conjecture in fact extends to all GS groups, but this was disproven by an explicit counterexample last year by Ershov.
		Efim then closed by talking a little more about universal identities; he mentioned the Specht conjecture (proven by Kemer) that over a field of characteristic 0, there are only finitely many universal identities which generate all the others in a syntactical sense (i.e.

	New faculty member Zelmanov wins Fields Medal
		Efim Zelmanov, who joined the faculty as Professor in Mathematics on July 1, is one of four recipients of the 1994 Fields Medal, which is considered the world's most prestigious prize for mathematics and is often compared to the Nobel Prize.
		Zelmanov was honored for his work in the field of abstract algebra, including group theory, and specifically for his proof of the Restricted Burnside Problem, where he showed that certain mathematical constructs known as periodic groups are finite.
		Before coming to Chicago, Zelmanov had been professor at the University of Wisconsin-Madison since 1990; he previously was on the faculty at the Institute of Mathematics, Academy of Sciences of the U.S.S.R., in Novosibirsk.

	[No title]
		Zelmanov described this work on Jordan algebras in his invited lecture to the International Congress of Mathematicians at Warsaw in 1983.
		In 1980 Zelmanov was appointed as a Junior Researcher at the Institute of Mathematics of the Academy of Sciences of the USSR at Novosibirsk.
		Let me explain the background to the restricted Burnside problem, the solution of which was the main reason for the award of the Medal, and also explain how Zelmanov, not a group theorist by training, came to solve one of the most fundamental questions in group theory.
