Dmitrii Andreevich Gudkov (1918–1992; alternative spelling Dmitry) was a Soviet mathematician famous for his work on

Hilbert's sixteenth problem Hilbert's 16th problem was posed by David Hilbert at the Paris conference of the International Congress of Mathematicians in 1900, as part of his list of 23 problems in mathematics. The original problem was posed as the ''Problem of the topolog ...

Gudkov's conjecture In real algebraic geometry, Gudkov's conjecture, also called Gudkov’s congruence, (named after Dmitry Gudkov) was a conjecture, and is now a theorem, which states that an M-curve of even degree 2d obeys the congruence : p - n \equiv d^2\, (\!\bm ...
