	Yale's Margulis wins 2005 Wolf prize for mathematics
		New Haven, Conn. -- The Prize Committee for Mathematics of the Wolf Foundation has unanimously selected Gregory A. Margulis, Erastus L. DeForest Professor of Mathematics at Yale as recipient of the 2005 Wolf Prize in Mathematics for his exceptional contributions to algebra and his creative synthesis of ideas and methods from different areas of mathematics.
		Margulis is cited for "monumental contributions to algebra, in particular to the theory of lattices in semi-simple Lie groups, and striking applications of this to ergodic theory, representation theory, number theory, combinatorics and measure theory."
		Among the prestigious international honors Margulis has received are the Fields Medal, the Medal of the College de France, the Alexander von Humboldt Prize and the Lobachevsky International Prize of the Russian Academy of Sciences.

	Grigory Margulis (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		Gregori Aleksandrovich Margulis (first name often given as Gregory, Grigori or Grigory) (born February 24, 1946) is a mathematician known for his far-reaching work on lattices in Lie groups, and the introduction of methods from ergodic theory into diophantine approximation.
		This was a question that had been open for half a century, on which considerable progress had been made by the Hardy-Littlewood circle method; but to reduce the number of variables to the point of getting the best-possible results, the more structural methods from group theory proved decisive.
		In 2005, Margulis received the Wolf Prize for his contributions to lattice theory, and applications to ergodic theory, representation theory, number theory, combinatorics, and measure theory.

	The Gaia Hypothesis (Section 3) - Dr Lynn Margulis (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		Effectively, Lynn Margulis contended that symbiosis, not chance mutation, was the driving force behind evolution and that the cooperation between organisms and the environment are the chief agents of natural selection -- not competition among individuals.
		While the research work of Lynn Margulis in the area of cell evolution was gradually being accepted, her collaboration with Dr James Lovelock in the formulation of the Gaia Hypothesis was often viewed in a critical manner.
		As we have found in the preceeding section concerning the formulation of the Gaia Hypothesis by Dr James Lovelock, this question would have been purposefully redirected by the traditional physical sciences to the attention of counterparts in the philosophy departments, possibly the biology department or, dependent upon their cultural beliefs, possibly to the theological offices.

		Margulis has proved a series of great theorems with a powerful combination of originality and technique.
		His defining theorem, which earned him the Fields Medal, proved that lattices in a semi-simple group of R-rank greater than one are arithmetic.
		In particular, using homogeneous dynamics and partially in collaboration with other mathematicians, I was able to prove some conjectures about values of irrational quadratic forms and about diophantine approximation on manifolds.

	THE GAIA HYPOTHESIS: IMPLICATIONS FOR A CHRISTIAN POLITICAL THEOLOGY OF THE ENVIRONMENT (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		Known amusingly as "The Wizard of Ooze" owing to her investigation of microbes in swamps, mudflats, and marshes around the world, Margulis maintains that symbiosis and cooperation have been as central to biological evolution as has the competitive conflict for survival that marks Darwinian theory (Joseph 1990, 8).
		Attempting to show the importance of microorganisms for Gaia, Margulis is quick to demonstrate that life on earth has existed on the planet for 3.5 billion years, and that for the first 2 billion, only bacterial microorganisms existed.
		Margulis and Sagan claim that Gaia can still be seen primarily as a microbial production and that humans are relegated to "a tiny and unessential part of the Gaian system" (Margulis and Sagan 1984, 71).

	Dr. James Lovelock
		Dr Lynn Margulis had much to reply in this area regarding the systematics of Darwinian evolution in regard to the smallest and earliest of living things upon the earth.
		However it is interesting to note that James Lovelock and Lynn Margulis acknowledge the geologist-physician James Hutton's concept of a living Earth as a forerunner to the Gaia hypothesis.
		James Lovelock and Lynn Margulis coined the phrase the Gaia hypothesis to suggest not only that life has a greater influence on the evolution of the Earth than is typically assumed across most earth science disciplines but also that life serves as an active control system.

	Evolving together: the biology of symbiosis, part 2
		GREGORY G. From the Department of Psychiatry, The University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center at Dallas.
		The endosymbiont hypothesis that posits this origin of mitochondria and chloroplasts was originally championed by the biologist Lynn Margulis in the middle decades of the 20th century, long before it became widely accepted.
		Chloroplast genomes, in contrast, are most like those of cyanobacteria, photosynthetic bacteria that were once called “blue-green algae.” Chloroplasts are the photosynthetic specialists of a family of membrane-bound plant cell organelles called plastids, all of which are believed to have evolved from cyanobacteria.

		Jim and Gregory Bateson are both good examples of this pattern; Gregory’s separation from his father and St. John’s College, Cambridge, his initiation into schizmogenesis in Melanesia, and his return to society in the Macy Conferences to help take part in the birth of the new science of cybernetics.
		Barbara MacClintock, Lynn Margulis, Gregory Bateson, and km Lovelock—they all have this characteristic that they have a feeling for the organism because they basically have an imagination that is able to connect the little to the large.
		And Gregory talked about being at the meeting in which Whitehead made the famous comment about Bertrand Russell's talk on relativity—the one in which Whitehead said that Bertie was to be congratulated on not obscuring the inherent darkness of the subject.

		This paper, coauthored with Todd Drumm, shows that the Margulis invariant is a complete invariant of the translational conjugacy class of an affine deformation of a Fuchsian group.
		This paper, submitted to the Proceedings of the Newton Institute Euro-Workshop on ``Ergodic theory, rigidity and geometry'' surveys various properties of this invariant, interpreted in terms of deformations of hyperbolic structures on surfaces and the basic conjecture relating it to properness of affine deformations is discussed.
		In this paper, coauthored with Gregory Margulis, we prove the theorem, due to Geoff Mess, that the linear holonomy group of a complete flat Lorentz 3-manifold cannot be cocompact in SO(2,1).
