Boris Moishezon
Boris Moishezon ( Russian Борис Гершевич Мойшезон , transcription Boris Gerschewitsch Moishezon ; born October 26, 1937 in Odessa ; † August 25, 1993 in Teaneck , New Jersey ) was a Soviet-American mathematician who dealt with algebraic geometry .
Moishezon was a student of Igor Schafarewitsch at the Steklow Institute in Moscow and did his doctorate with Ilya Pyatetskij-Shapiro at Lomonosov University . He then went to the Central Institute for Mathematical Economics. He signed a public letter in 1972 in which Jewish scholars complained about the high costs that doctoral holders had to pay to leave the country. In 1972 he left the Soviet Union and went as a professor at Tel Aviv University and from 1977 he was in New York at Columbia University as a professor of mathematics. He stayed in this post jogging until he died of a heart attack.
He was an expert in algebraic geometry. In the 1960s he introduced the later so-called Moishezon manifolds, compact, connected, complex manifolds in which the associated function body of meromorphic functions on these manifolds has the same degree of transcendence as the complex dimension of the manifold. Examples are algebraic varieties in complex. In 1967 Moishezon showed that Moishezon manifolds are projective algebraic varieties if and only if they allow a Kahler metric.
In 1977 he was visiting professor at the University of Utah .
In 1983 he was a Guggenheim Fellow .
He was married and had a son and a daughter.
