Grigori Perelman is a Russian mathematician known for his groundbreaking contributions to geometric analysis, Riemannian geometry, and geometric topology. He made significant advancements in the study of Alexandrov spaces, proved the soul conjecture in Riemannian geometry, and solved the Poincaré conjecture and Thurston’s geometrization conjecture using innovative techniques in Ricci flow analysis. Perelman declined prestigious awards such as the Fields Medal and the Clay Millennium Prize, citing a lack of interest in fame and money, and raising ethical concerns in the mathematical field.
