AND YOU WOULD
REFUSE ONE MILLION? The resume of an article in the newspaper of "Message". The author: MIKEMAR. A category: Outstanding people. It appears there is a
person who is capable to refuse the
premium in one million
dollars! Moreover, under the forecast of the Russian agency of the international information of "News", in the article published on August, 23rd, 2006. In the newspaper "To conduct" (Israel), it is informed, that this person has already refused rather prestigious medal awarded for outstanding opening; the mentioned agency, referring to experts, expresses doubt, that it will accept also the award in one million dollars (!). Who it, the person capable of such gesture, and for what is necessary to it the premium mentioned above? He is Russian mathematician Gregory Perelman (by the way, he is the well-known Jacob Perelman's son, the author of "Entertaining physics").Already at the age of 16 (1982) he has received the Gold medal on the International mathematical Olympiad for schoolboys. Defended the dissertation he continued working at the Steklov's
Institute of mathematics and then - at different universities of the USA. Some
years ago G. Perelman has returned to Russia, to the same institute where he worked before departure in the USA. The purpose of his returning was work about
proof of the form of the Universe. It is necessary to note, that achievement of Perelman's goal is connected with use of a hypothesis of Zhjulja Anri Poincare on which proof of validity many mathematicians unsuccessfully worked during the whole century. Several years ago Gregory Perelman was the first whom at last, managed to solve this problem of world value. After publication of results of this work, within two years many scientists tried to deny G.Perelmana's decision and, eventually, it has been recognized to be true. And it means, that G.Perelman certainly deserves the premium of one million dollars, appointed for the proof of validity of a hypothesis of Poincare private mathematical institute of Glue in Boston in 2000. As G.Perelman in 1996 refused rather prestigious European premium on the mathematics, experts believe, that he will refuse the premium at this present time as well. Anyway, until now he has not published the results in any of the specialized magazines, and it is an indispensable condition for receiving of the premium. For Gregory Perelman it is the opinion of his colleagues, the main thing is not the money, as for him the importance is his science.
