frank quinnとは 意味・読み方・使い方

Frank Stringfellow Quinn, III is an American mathematician and professor of mathematics at Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University, specializing in geometric topology. He contributed to the mathematical field of 4-manifolds, including a proof of the 4-dimensional annulus theorem. In surgery theory, he made several important contributions: the invention of the assembly map, that enables a functorial description of surgery in the topological category, with his thesis advisor, William Browder, the development of an early surgery theory for stratified spaces, and perhaps most importantly, he pioneered the use of controlled methods in geometric topology and in algebra. Among his important applications of "control" are his aforementioned proof of the 4-dimensional annulus theorem, his development of a flexible category of stratified spaces, and, in combination with work of R.D. Edwards, a useful characterization of high dimensional manifolds among homology manifolds.
