Yakov Eliashberg background
Yakov Eliashberg is an American mathematician who was born in Saint
Petersburg Russia, December 11 1946. He grew up in Saint Petersburg Russia
and in 1972 he received his doctoral degree from Leningrad University. The
same year Eliashberg joined the Soviet Union as a professor. Today Yakov
Eliashberg is 75 years old and teaches at Stamford University as a math
professor.

Yakov Eliashberg Prizes
The most recent prize Yakov
Eliashberg won was the Wolf
Prize of Mathematics in 2020.
He received the prize for his
foundational work on
topologies. He changed the
face of of the fields and
contributed to homotopy
principles of multi dimensional
complex analysis.

works with 3035 citations and 2993 reads
such as his discovery on the space of tight
contact structures, he has also shows he
existence of a global field of lahrangian
planes with other mathematicians. One of
his most famous discoveries is the
stabilized convex sympletic on homotopy.

Yakov Eliashberg Work
Yakov is a founder of topology, which a mathematical language for
problems having a connection with physics. He is very famous for his
series of papers on sympletic topology from 1989 to 1992. Eliashberg
introduced a fundamental dichotomoy know as tight vs overtwisted that
created the basis of topology. Another famous series of papers made
by Yakov is the 3 sphere in 1992 which is used by many
mathematicians and scientists in their fields. In a 2000 paper Yakov with
Givental and Hofer pioneered foundation the sympletic field theory.
Which is an algebraic structure behind holomorphic curves. It is also
used a lot in simpletic and contact topology.

Yakov Eliashberg facts
• Yakov Eliashberg Has received his Ph.D. from Leningrad University

Eliashberg received the Leningrad Mathematical Society Prize in 1972.

He also was a member of the Selection Committee in mathematical sciences


Shaw Prize.

He is one of the founders of symplectic topology, a new and active area of research which
emerged in 1980s and found important applications in other areas of mathematics and
theoretical physics.
