Professor Gregory A. Margulis, one of the most influential mathematicians of the past century, added another one to his awards. The Abel Prize, given by Norway to one or more mathematicians every year in honor of the Norwegian mathematician Niels Henrik Abel, was awarded to Gregory A. Margulis this year. Now Professor of Mathematics, who is 74 years old, was born in Moscow in 1946. However, the administration of the Soviet Union at that time did not allow Margulis to go to Helsinki to receive his award. After the Soviet academics were given more personal freedom in 1979, the scientist was finally able to get his award. Gregory A. Margulis visited academic institutions in Europe and the USA before starting his post at Yale when the Soviet Union disbanded in 1991. Then he started his career at Yale University. One of Margulis’s greatest successes was the proof of the Selberg-Piatetski-Shapiro Hypothesis, which showed that the cages, which are a concrete mathematical structure similar to the symmetry patterns of periodic trends in high-grade Lie groups, are arithmetic in nature. As part of his work with cages, Margulis introduced the Margulis Super Matrix Theorem, which has become an important tool for mathematicians. The famous mathematician also resolved the 1929 Oppenheim Hypothesis, which relates to the values of uncertain irrational quadratic forms at integer points. Solving the hypothesis led to the construction of the first expander graphics, which were extremely useful for computer science. The Norwegian government launched the Abel Awards in 2002 for the 200th birthday of Norwegian mathematician Niels Henrik Abel. Since then, the Abel Awards have been given to active mathematicians by the Norwegian Academy of Science and Letters. Gregory A. Margulis became the first scientist to win this award from Yale University by winning the Abel Prize. Margulis won the $ 834,000 award with the Abel Prize. Margulis, who won the Abel Prize, is also a member of the US National Academy of Sciences.
