   Format: MarkdownItexIn the course of my series of adding little blurbs to category:people entries I turned to the entry _[[Maxim Kontsevich]]_, fully expecting it to be as empty of textual information as most of the other entries, only to find myself reminded that this entry actually has a very good bit of information in it. I am wondering, though, if one should bring his homological mirror symmetry more to the forefront, together with the fact that via this Kontsevich had effectively been putting $\infty$-categories at the heart of modern QFT long before this became more widely recognized (and that is an ongoing process, of course).
