Ehud Hrushovski
Ehud Hrushovski ( Hebrew אהוד הרושובסקי; * 1959 ) is an Israeli mathematician who deals with mathematical logic ( model theory ).
Hrushovski's father, Benjamin Harshav, was a professor of literature at Yale University and Tel Aviv University . Hrushovski received his PhD in 1986 under Leo Harrington at the University of California, Berkeley ( Contributions to stable model theory ). He was a professor at Harvard University and is currently a professor at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem . Among other things, he was visiting professor at Yale University.
Hrushovski deals with model theory and its applications in geometry and number theory ( geometric model theory ). With Boris Zilber he introduced Zariski geometries. He proved the Mordell-Lang conjecture for function bodies with any characteristic. The conjecture (named after Serge Lang and Louis Mordell ) generalizes the Mordell conjecture and the Manin-Mumford conjecture and makes finite statements about the intersection of a sub-variety of a semi-Abelian variety with a subgroup of finite rank.
He is a member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences and the Israeli Academy of Sciences since 2008 and the Royal Society since 2020 . He was invited speaker (plenary lecture) at the International Congress of Mathematicians (ICM) in 1998 in Berlin ( Geometric Model Theory ) and in 1990 in Kyoto ( Categorical structures ).
He received the Karp Prize twice , in 1998 for work on the Mordell-Lang conjecture, and in 1993 for contributions to geometric stability theory. In 1994 he received the Erdős Prize of the Israeli Mathematical Society. For 2019, Hrushovski was awarded the Heinz Hopf Prize . In 1990 he received a research grant from the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation ( Sloan Research Fellowship ).
