In early October, the well-known Russian and American mathematician, Fields Prize Winner Vladimir Voevodsky died at the age of 51 in the USA.
His ex-wife Nadia Shalabi said that the scientist was found dead by friends in her house whom she called after she was unable to contact her ex-husband, reports New York Times.
Finding the body, friends called the police. Shalabi suggested that Voevodsky became ill, and he seemed to have fallen, but the exact cause of death had not yet been determined.
He was a professor Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, New Jersey.
“Voevodsky is a truly extraordinary and unusual mathematician who made a great contribution to the development of mathematical science,” the institute said.
The mathematician was known for his work in algebraic geometry and algebraic K-theory. He also developed new approaches to the formalization of mathematical evidence. The scientist developed the theory of homotopy and motivic cohomology of algebraic varieties. Thanks to his work, the hypothesis of Milnor (Bloch-Kato) was solved.
More recently, he became interested in type-theoretic formalizations of mathematics and automated verification of evidence. He worked on the new foundations of mathematics, based on the homotopy-theoretical semantics of the theories of Martin-Löf type. His new "axiom of uniqueness" had a tremendous impact on both mathematics and computer science.
Vladimir Voevodsky was born in 1966 in Moscow. In 1992, he received his doctorate from Harvard University. In 2002, he won the Fields Medal, which is awarded every four years to outstanding mathematicians under the age of 40.
