  Mikhail Gromov - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Mikhail Leonidovich Gromov Russian: Михаил Леонидович Громов (born December 23, 1943, also known as Mikhael Gromov, Michael Gromov, or Misha Gromov) is a mathematician known for important contributions in many different areas of mathematics.
Gromov's impact has been felt most heavily in geometric group theory, where he characterized groups of polynomial growth and created the notion of hyperbolic group; symplectic topology, where he introduced pseudoholomorphic curves, and in Riemannian geometry.
Mikhail Gromov studied for a doctorate (1973) in Leningrad, where he was a student of V.

 North American Kyoto Prize Web Site: Kyoto Prize
Gromov has pioneered entirely new disciplines in a variety of fields, including geometry and analysis, and has had a substantial impact on all the mathematical sciences.
Gromov's work includes his studies of isometric imbedding and the regular homotopy theory from the 1960s to the early 1970s, and his study of Riemannian spaces from the late 1970s to the 1980s, which, in particular, established revolutionary concepts.
Gromov, however, applied the idea of defining a metric structure for the family to the study of discrete groups, and proved that discrete groups with polynomial growth have nilpotency.

Mikhael L. Gromov is professor of mathematics at the Institut des Hautes Études Scientifiques, Bures-sur-Yvette, France, and Jay Gould Professor of Mathematics at the Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences at New York University.
Gromov's work on symplectic manifolds has played a central role in the development of string theory, one of the most promising unified field theories of theoretical physics.
Gromov is the recipient of numerous distinguished awards, including the Kyoto Prize (2002), the Balzan Prize (1999), the Leroy P. Steele Prize (1997), the Lobatchewski Medal (1997), the Wolf Prize (1993), the Prix UAP (1989), Elie Cartan Prize (1984), Oswald Veblen Prize in Geometry (1981), and the Moscow Mathematical Society Prize (1971).

Gromov is a professor both at the Institute des Hautes Études Scientifiques near Paris and at New York University's Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences.
Gromov proposed the innovative idea of considering the distance between spaces -- which he identified as "like" (close) or "unlike" (far) -- to create a deeper understanding by allowing spaces to be compared.
Gromov has therefore had an immeasurable impact on all of the mathematical sciences.

 Hyperbolic Metric Spaces   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
Using this property of hyperbolic space, it is possible to generalize the notion of hyperbolicity to abstract geodesic metric spaces; and thanks to some deeply insightful definitions of M. Gromov in the 1980's to metric spaces in general.
Hyperbolic metric spaces arise naturally as the boundaries at infinity of hyperbolic manifolds (the boundary at infinity of n-dimensional hyperbolic space is the n-1 sphere).

A very important property of R trees is that they are hyperbolic spaces in the sense of Gromov, in fact they are 0 hyperbolic, i.e.
....conditions for X to be ffi hyperbolic in the sense of Gromov, or negatively curved in the sense of Cannon.
Gromov has suggested that such groups are in a sense generic.

 Math 6843 Topics in Topology I
The second major influence, pioneered by Mikhael Gromov [G1], [G2] and [G3], involves studying infinite groups as geometric objects.
One of Gromov's key contributions in this area is the development of the concept of large scale (or coarse) hyperbolicity, and the realization that the large scale phenomena associated with negative curvature have some dramatic consequences in group theory.
Then we shall study Gromov's hyperbolic groups and see that they too have a Dehn's algorithm solution to the word problem.

The new wave began with seminal papers by Svarc and Milnor on growth of groups and the spectacular proof of the rigidity of lattices by Mostow.
Also, Gromov found metric structure within homotopy theory and thus introduced new invariants controlling combinatorial complexity of maps and spaces, such as the simplicial volume, which is responsible for degrees of maps between manifolds.
Additionally, four appendices---by Gromov on Levys inequality, by Pansu on quasiconvex domains, by Katz on systoles of Riemannian manifolds, and by Semmes overviewing analysis on metric spaces with measures---as well as an extensive bibliography and index round out this unique and beautiful book.

Professor Mikhael Gromov has introduced a large number of very original new concepts into the classical field of differential geometry which have led to the solution of a large number of important and apparently unsolvable problems.
He has introduced new invariants linking the differential geometric structures with those of algebraic topology which have proved their value both in Gromov´s hands and in the hands of others.
He succeeded, for example, in estimating the Betti numbers of Riemannian manifolds solely in terms of a lower bound on the sectional curvature.
