FAQ About Grigori Perelman

Perelman's approach to solving the Poincaré Conjecture was unique due to his innovative use of the Ricci flow with surgery, advancing Richard S. Hamilton's earlier work. He combined this approach with fresh mathematical techniques and insights to conquer longstanding obstacles that had previously hindered solving the conjecture. What set his work apart was the combination of technical complexity with conceptual elegance that ultimately led to the proof of the conjecture while offering new methodologies for examining manifold structures.
