In the category:people entry Vladimir Voevodsky I’d like to have a brief statement on the motivic work. I have now put in the following, but experts are please asked to fine tune this where necessary:
Владимир Воеводский (who publishes in English as Vladimir Voevodsky) (web site) is a famous mathematician.
he received a Fields medal in 2002 for a proof of the Milnor conjecture. The proof crucially uses A1-homotopy theory and motivic cohomology developed by Voevodsky for this purpose. In further development of this in 2009 Voevodsky announced a proof of the Bloch-Kato conjecture.
After this work in algebraic geometry, cohomology, homotopy theory Voevodsky turned to the foundations of mathematics and is now working on homotopy type theory which he is advertizing as a new “”univalent foundations” for modern mathematics.
It is odd – so far we never considered “famous” a relevant information for Lab nor fair to (some) other mathematicians. “Fields medalist” is a more neutral sufficient condition.
Sure, I have removed the “famous”. But I found just “is a Fields medalist” worse.
The latest version reads well. Thanks.
Thanks to Adeel.
