Hillel "Harry" Furstenberg (Hebrew: הלל (הארי) פורסטנברג) (born September 29, 1935) is a German-born American-Israeli mathematician and professor emeritus at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem.
In mathematics, particularly in number theory, Hillel Furstenberg's proof of the infinitude of primes is a topological proof that the integers contain infinitely many prime numbers. When examined closely, the proof is less a statement about topology than a statement about certain properties of arithmetic sequences .
Sep 9, 2017 · Hillel Furstenberg is a German-born American mathematician working in combinatorics, probability theory, ergodic theory and topological dynamics. He has been awarded major mathematical prizes including the Wolf Prize and the Abel Prize.
A biography of Hillel Furstenberg. When Hillel (Harry) Furstenberg published one of his early papers, a rumour circulated that he was not an individual but instead a pseudonym for a group of mathematicians.
Dec 5, 2022 · The author, Hillel Furstenberg, did not claim any thrilling — or even new — results. He’d simply offered a proof of a theorem that another mathematician, Endre Szemerédi, had already proved two years before. Despite that, Furstenberg’s paper left a lasting imprint on mathematics.
Mar 19, 2020 · The Norwegian Academy of Science and Letters has awarded the Abel Prize for 2020 to Hillel Furstenberg, a 1958 Ph.D. graduate in mathematics, “for pioneering the use of methods from probability and dynamics in group theory, number theory and combinatorics.”.
