There are lots of bests this year but for me above all others the best thing that happened in 2024 was CATS: The Jellicle Ball. The PAC became my house of worship and the experience was ecstasy. I am not a spiritual person and believe religion a con. It might sound like the show was church for me but it came from a much higher, purer plane. I miss it so. #cats #catsthejellicleball #pac #perelman #nyc #downtown #thejellicleball #theater #theatre #musical #bestof #bestof2024 #andrewlloydweber

Leider können nur wenige sich so verhalten, wie Grigori #Perelman.

Und andererseits stelle ich immer wieder fest, dass Menschen wichtige Beiträge leisten und sich dessen gar nicht bewusst sind.

Und dann gibt es da noch die Hähne, die meinen, die Sonne ginge auf, weil sie krähen.

Es ist komplex ... oder vielleicht nur ungewiss?

18 mars 2010 : Grigori #Perelman sacré pour sa démonstration de la conjecture de Poincaré #histoire #cejourla #invention

From #DorothyParker, in a 1957 review of S. J. #Perelman’s book “The Road to Miltown”:

“It is a strange force that compels a #writer to be a #humorist. It is a strange force, if you care to go back farther, that compels anyone to be a writer at all, but this is neither the time nor the place to bring up that matter. The writer’s way is rough and lonely, and who would choose it while there are vacancies in more gracious professions, such as, say, cleaning out ferryboats?”

There are dozens of variations of the surname (due in significant part to Jewish migration & contact w/ gentile languages) including #Margaliot, #Margolies, #Margarethen, #Margent, #Margolevsky, etc.
The surnames #Perl, #Perel, #Pearl, and variations (e.g. #Perelman, #Perlitz) have multiple etymologies; in some families the name is a direct translation of the Hebrew surname.

For n = 2, h-cobordism theorem is equivalent to the Poincaré conjecture stated by Poincaré in 1904 (one of the Millennium Problems and was proved by Grigori #Perelman in a series of 3 papers in 2002 and 2003 where he follows Richard S. Hamilton's program using #Ricciflow
