Biography
Mori was born in 1951 in Nagoya . He studied at the University of Kyoto , in 1973 received a bachelor's degree, in 1975 - a master's degree. After that, he became a lecturer at the same university, and in 1978, under the guidance of Masayoshi Nagata, he defended his thesis on “Rings of endomorphisms of some Abelian varieties”. After defending his dissertation, he continued to work as an assistant at Kyoto University, and in 1980 became a lecturer in mathematics at the University of Nagoya . In 1982, he became an assistant professor, and in 1988 - a full professor. Since 1990, Seagefumi Mori is a professor at Kyoto University.
Despite the official teaching position in Japan, Mori spent a lot of time in the United States in 1977–1992: in 1977–1980, he worked as a visiting professor at Harvard University , from 1981–1982 at the Institute for Advanced Study , from 1985–1987 - at Columbia University , in 1987-1989 and 1991-1992 - at the University of Utah .
The most famous works of Mori relate to the classification of three-dimensional algebraic varieties . The generalization of Mori results to varieties of higher dimension, sometimes called , is an active area of research in modern algebraic geometry.
S. Mori in 2014 was elected President of the International Mathematical Union , becoming the first representative of Asian mathematicians in this post. [3]
