Mikhail Leonidovich Gromov, also spelled Mikhael Gromov or Michael Gromov; Russian: Михаи́л Леони́дович Гро́мов, (born 23 December 1943), is a Russian mathematician known for important contributions in many different areas of mathematics. He is considered a geometer in a very broad sense of the word.

Work

Gromov's style of geometry features a "coarse" or "soft" viewpoint, often analyzing asymptotic or large-scale properties.

His impact has been felt most heavily in geometric group theory, where he characterized groups of polynomial growth and created the notion of hyperbolic group; symplectic topology, where he introduced pseudoholomorphic curves, and in Riemannian geometry. His work, however, has delved deeply into analysis and algebra, where he will often formulate a problem in "geometric" terms. For example, his homotopy principle (h-principle) on differential relations is the basis for a geometric theory of partial differential equations.

Gromov is also interested in mathematical biology.[1]

Gromov studied for a doctorate (1973) in Leningrad, where he was a student of Vladimir Rokhlin. He is now a permanent member of IHÉS, and a Professor of Mathematics at New York University.
