Vyacheslav Shokurov
Vyacheslav Vladimirovich Shokurov (russian: Вячеслав Владимирович Шокуров; born 18 May 1950) is a Russian mathematician best known for his research in algebraic geometry. The proof of the Noether–Enriques–Petri theorem, the cone theorem, the existence of a line on smooth Fano varieties and, finally, the existence of log flips—these are several of Shokurov's contributions to the subject. Early years In 1968 Shokurov became a student at the Faculty of Mechanics and Mathematics of Moscow State University. Already as an undergraduate, Shokurov showed himself to be a mathematician of outstanding talent. In 1970, he proved the scheme analog of the Noether–Enriques–Petri theorem, which later allowed him to solve a Schottky-type problem for the polarized Prym varieties, and to prove the existence of a line on smooth Fano varieties. Upon his graduation Shokurov entered the Ph.D. program in Moscow State University under the supervision of Yuri M ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
