Nominator's project description
| Since 1969 Professor Nesterenko introduced methods from elimentation theory and commutative algrebra into transcendence, thus revolutionizing the theory of algebraic independence by his very precise multiplicity estimates. Connected herewith are his sensational results from 1996 on modular functions. As a by-product, he settled the long-standing problem on the algebraic independece of pi and e^pi. The research project concerns questions on transcendence of values of theta functions in several variables, and on linear independence or Riemann's zeta function at odd arguments. |
