Yevgeny Solomonovich Golod
Evgeni Solomonovich Golod ( Russian Евгений Соломонович Голод , English transcription Evgenii or Evgeny Solomonovich Golod ; born October 21, 1935 in Moscow ; † July 5, 2018 ) was a Russian mathematician who dealt with algebra , especially commutative algebra and homological algebra .
Golod was a student of Igor Schafarewitsch at Lomonosov University , from which he graduated in 1958. From 1961 to 1966 he was an assistant at the Lomonossow University (algebra department), then a lecturer and from 2000 professor, having completed his habilitation in 1999 (Russian doctorate).
In 1964 he proved Golod and Schafarewitsch's theorem about class-field towers. At the same time, he gave a counterexample to the generalized Burnside conjecture of group theory by showing, building on his work with Schafarewitsch, that there are finite but infinite torsion groups .
In 1963 he received the Moscow Mathematical Society Prize.
Wadim Schechtman is one of his PhD students .
