	Mikhail Gromov - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		For other people named Mikhail Gromov, see Mikhail Gromov (disambiguation).
		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 geometry, especially metric geometry, symplectic geometry, and geometric group theory.
		Mikhail Gromov studied for a doctorate (1973) in Leningrad, where he was a student of V.

	Gromov-Hausdorff convergence - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Gromov-Hausdorff convergence, named after Mikhail Gromov and Felix Hausdorff, is a notion for convergence of metric spaces which is a generalization of Hausdorff convergence.
		The key ingredient in the proof was the almost trivial observation that for the Cayley graph of a group with polynomial growth a sequence of rescalings converges in the pointed Gromov-Hausdorff sense.
		Another simple and very useful result in Riemannian geometry is Gromov's compactness theorem, which states that the set of Riemannian manifolds with Ricci curvature ≥c and diameter ≤D is pre-compact in the Gromov-Hausdorff metric.

		His musical pursuits, however, prevented Mikhail from receiving a higher education as he was expelled from the Moscow Institute of Oil and Gas, lost his draft deferment as a college student and was called up for a term of compulsory military service in the country's Far East.
		Mikhail got a job as a fireman at Moscow's Estrada Theater, continuing his career as a rock musician, something that was frowned upon by the Soviet establishment.
		A couple of years later, however, quite unexpectedly for Gromov, Mikhail Men resigned as vice governor of the Moscow region and was appointed deputy prime minister in the Moscow city government.

		Boris Gromov is a member of the Duma group "Russian Regions" that is formed by independent legislators elected in Russian regions.
		Gromov is a member of the committee on International affairs and heads the subcommittee on the arms control and international security.
		Afterwards, for several years Gromov was not active in the Russian politics, mainly because during the period of democratic euphoria his background seemed suspicious to the new political elite.

		Gromov's attitude then softens to one of "condescending irony" as he sees how the doctor values his opinions.
		As he remarks to Gromov, there is "nothing but idle chance" in his being a doctor and in Gromov being an asylum patient.
		This paranoid lunatic condemns the status quo: Gromov is a radical who dares to challenge what David Margarshack terms Rabin's "non- resistance to evil." To better understand Chekhov's sympathetic characterization of Gromov and his condemnation of Ragin, one should note that the author visited the notorious Sakhalin prison in 1890.

		Gromov's work is both tremendously elegant and immediately relevant to problems in applied mathematics and mathematical physics in a way that reflects his tremendous creativity and excellent taste.
		Gromov's work on symplectic manifolds has already played a central role in the development of one of the most promising unified field theories of theoretical physics, string theory.
		In awarding the prize to Gromov, the selection committee cited in particular his work in Riemannian geometry, which revolutionized this subject, his theory of pseudoholomorphic curves in symplectic manifolds, his solution of the problem of groups of polynomial growth, and his construction of the theory of hyperbolic groups.

		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.
		Of course Gromov's strength is that his treatment is always concrete and he never theorizes without having particular objects and applications in mind.

		We also show that for each such group there is a well-defined notion of a boundary at infinity and an intrinsic notion of a subgroup being quasiconvex.
		These results were established by Gromov in the negatively curved setting and do not extend to general nonpositively curved spaces.
		Gromov states several theorems about the existence of geodesics and the relationship between local and global definitions of non-positive curvature in simply-connected spaces.

		He admitted in his testimony before the IJ that the group was required to obtain a permit before holding a demonstration, but that they had not obtained a permit prior to the May 1 demonstration.
		He claims he cannot return safely to Russia because Gromov holds a position in the Duma, had held a position on the Geological Ministry committee, and is a personal friend of Konstatin Kondratenko, the governor of the Krasnodar region.

		Finally, forms for the physical hamil- tonian and inner product are suggested and a new action principle for general relativity, as a geodesic principle on the connection superspace, is found.
		That is, it's the geometry of spaces on which one can take Poisson brackets of functions in a manner given locally by the usual formulas.
		Gromov has really revolutionized the subject, and these lectures look like a good place to begin learning what is going on.

		Despite his condescending manner and personality quirks -- Nash was known for incessantly whistling Bach's Little Fugue, chewing empty coffee cups and having notoriously complicated romantic relationships with both men and women -- he flourished in the elite hierarchy of first-rate mathematicians.
		Most of his peers agreed with the eminent geometrician Mikhail Gromov, who called Nash "the most remarkable mathematician of the second half of the century."
		In a profession that "placed a certain premium on eccentricity and outrageousness" and in which "a lack of social graces was considered part and parcel of being real mathematicians," Nash was more outrageous, eccentric and lacking in social skills and emotional attachments than most.

		He showed that any Riemannian manifold possessing a special kind of smoothness could be embedded in a Euclidian space.
		It is this result, primarily, that made Mikhail Gromov call Nash "the most remarkable mathematician of the second half century."
		A few years later, as a young professor at MIT, Nash once again astounded the mathematics profession by solving an equally profound though much newer problem involving partial differential equations, the kinds of equations that are used to describe orbits, waves, air flows and similar physical phenomena.
