Description |
The Norwegian Academy of Sciences has announced the award of the 2011 Abel Prize to John Willard Milnor for his diverse contributions to Differential Topology, Algebraic Topology, Dynamical Systems, Singularity Theory and Algebra. In this talk, I will outline some of his work in Differential Topology such as existence of non-standard differentiable structures on spheres and the counter example to the Hauptvermutung. |
