FAQ About Grigori Perelman
Did Grigori Perelman work alone on the Poincaré Conjecture?
While Grigori Perelman is renowned for his individual solution to the Poincaré Conjecture, his work was heavily influenced by and built upon the foundational research of other mathematicians, most notably Richard S. Hamilton, whose development of the Ricci flow laid the groundwork for Perelman's subsequent advances. Thus, while Perelman conducted his decisive research independently, it was part of an extended dialogue in the mathematical community.
