Evgeny Golod

Yevgeny Solomonovich Golod (Russian: Евгений Соломонович Голод, English transcription Evgenii or Evgeny Golod Solomonovich; born October 21, 1935 in Moscow ) is a Russian mathematician who deals with algebra, especially commutative algebra and Homo Logical algebra.

Golod was a student of Igor Shafarevich at the Lomonosov University, where he graduated in 1958. 1961 to 1966 he was assistant professor at the Moscow State University (Department of Algebra ), then lecturer and professor from 2000 after he completed his habilitation in 1999 (Russian doctorate ).

In 1964 he proved the theorem of Golod and Shafarevich on class field towers. At the same time he was thus a counterexample to the generalized Burnside presumption of group theory by building on the work with Shafarevich showed that there are finitely generated, but infinite Torsionsgruppen.

In 1963 he was awarded the prize of the Moscow Mathematical Society.

His doctoral Vadim Schechtman heard.
