  • Jeffery-Williams Prize Prix Jeffery-Williams
    Askold Khovanskii’s widely influential research involves a striking and innovative combination of algebraic geometry, topology and combinatorics. In his Ph.D. thesis, Askold introduced a topological variant of Galois theory. He continues to extend this theory, which gives the strongest results about solvability and unsolvability of algebraic and differential equations in finite terms, and his book on this subject has just appear in the Springer Monographs in Mathematics series. He is one of the creators of the Newton Polyhedra theory linking algebraic geometry Jeffery-Williams Prize and the combinatorics and geometry of integral convex polyhedra. Askold Khovanskii Another of Askold’s innovations is the theory of fewnomials, which involves a category of transcendental varieties reminiscent of algebraic geometry. Finally, in recent collaborative work with Kaveh and others, Askold has developed the theory of Newton-Okounkov bodies, which has proved to be an important new tool in both algebraic geometry and geometry of convex bodies and has spawned a rapidly growing research area. Les travaux d’Askold Khovanskii jouissent d’une très large influence et mettent en jeu un mélange étonnant et innovateur de géométrie algébrique, de topologie et de combinatoire. Il a entrepris l’étude des variantes topologiques de la Prix Jeffery-Williams théorie de Galois dans sa thèse de doctorat. Il continue d’approfondir sa théorie, dont les résultats les plus Askold Khovanskii solides portent sur la solvabilité et l’insolvabilité des équations algébriques et différentielles en termes finis. Son ouvrage sur ce sujet vient d’ailleurs de paraître dans la collection « Monographs in Mathematics » aux éditions Springer.

Coconvex sets appear in singularity theory (they are closely related to Newton diagrams) and in commutative algebra. Such invariants of coconvex sets as volumes, mixed volumes, number of integer points, etc., play an important role.
