The Wolf Prize in Mathematics is an international award presented annually by the Wolf Foundation in Israel. It was established in 1978 and is one of the most prestigious awards in the field of mathematics, alongside the Fields Medal and the Clay Millennium Prizes. The prize recognizes outstanding achievements in mathematics and is awarded to individuals who have made significant contributions to the field.
George Mostow is a prominent American mathematician known for his significant contributions to the field of mathematics, particularly in the areas of topology, geometry, and group theory. Mostow is perhaps best known for his work on rigidity theorems, which have deep implications in the study of manifolds and the geometry of hyperbolic spaces. Mostow's rigidity theorem shows that, under certain conditions, a higher-dimensional manifold is uniquely determined by its fundamental group.
