Kolkata, Nov. 15 -- Professor Neena Gupta has been awarded The Infosys Prize 2024 in Mathematical Sciences for her work on the Zariski Cancellation Problem, a statement said on Thursday.
Gupta is a Theoretical Statistics and Mathematics Unit professor at the Indian Statistical Institute in Kolkata.
The event was hosted at Infosys Science Foundations office in Bengaluru.
Zariski Cancellation Problem is a fundamental problem in algebraic geometry first posed in 1949 by Oscar Zariski, one of the founders of modern algebraic geometry.
In 2014, Pof Gupta proved the striking result that Asanumas 3-dimensional affine variety yields a negative answer to Zariskis original Cancellation Problem in positive characteristic, Infosys said in the sta...
