Oscar Zariski

Wolf Prize Laureate in Mathematics 1981

The Wolf Prize Committee for Mathematics has unanimously decided that the award for 1981 should be equally divided among Oscar Zariski and Lars V. Ahlfors.

 

Oscar Zariski
Harvard University
Cambridge, Massachusetts, USA

 

“Creator of the modern approach to Algebraic geometry, by its fusion , with Commutative algebra.”

 

Professor (Emeritus) Oscar Zariski harnessed the power of modern algebra to serve the needs of algebraic geometry. This made possible to do algebraic geometry over arbitrary fields and to apply it to deep problems in number theory. Zariski put algebraic geometry on a secure foundation, retaining the intuitive language and insight of the Italian school, in whose tradition, he was trained. He showed that purely algebraic notions, like local rings, valuations, normality, etc., are intimately connected with basic properties of algebraic ,varieties. His wonderful algebraic intuition led him to a number of fundamental theorems and concepts, including the resolution of singularities in two and three dimensions in characteristic zero, minimal models and criterion of rationality in dimension two, the ‘Zariski topology’, holomorphic functions in abstract algebraic geometry, the connectedness theorem and the famous ‘Zari ski main theorem’.

 

Zariski’s papers and teachings had a tremendous impact. Algebraic geometry is one of the most active fields in modern mathematics, and perhaps half of its leading practitioners are his former students. At the age of 82 he is still the leader in studying equi-singularity, a concept he created.

Yakov Eliashberg

Wolf Prize Laureate in Mathematics 2020

The Prize Committee in Mathematics has carefully considered all candidates and has reached a unanimous conclusion that the Wolf Prize in Mathematics this year should be jointly awarded to Israel M. Gelfand and Carl L. Siegel.

 

Carl L. Siegel
University of Gottingen
Goettingen, Germany

 

in recognition of his contributions to the theory of numbers, theory of several complex variables, and celestial mechanics.

 

Professor Izrail M. Gelfand was a student of Kolmogorov, and some of his most important work was done in the 1940´s. Since the early 1950´s he has been Head of the Section of the Institute of Applied Mathematics of the USSR Academy of Sciences. He was a member of the editorial ´board of ‘Uspekhi Matematicheskikh Nauk’, chief editor of the journal ‘Functional Analysis’. From 1968-70, he was President of the Moscow Mathematical Society. He was awarded the Order of Lenin three times, and the Lenin Prize, and received many other honors and recognition such as Honorary Membership, in the American National Academy of Sciences, the American Mathematical Society, the London Mathematical Society, and many more.

 

Professor Carl L. Siegel received his Doctor of Philosophy degree in Gottingen, 1920; became Professor of Mathematics at the University of Frankfurt-am-Main, 1922, and later at the University of Gottingen. Many of his important contributions to the theory of numbers and several complex variables date to this period in Gottingen. Being an outspoken anti-Nazi, he fled Germany in 1940 to Denmark, and was at the Institute for Advanced Study, Princeton, from 1940 to 1950 at which time he returned to Gottingen.
