Stevo Todorčević
Stevo Todorčević is a Serbian-French-Canadian mathematician, known for his research in Ramsey theory, mathematical analysis, Set Theory, and set-theoretic topology. He holds a Canada Research Chair in mathematics at the University of Toronto,[1] and a Directeur de Recherche position at the French National Centre for Scientific Research (CNRS) in Paris.
Todorčević earned his Ph.D. from the University of Belgrade in 1979,[2] and was a Miller Research Fellow in Berkeley from 1983 to 1985.
He is a member of the Serbian Academy of Sciences and Arts,[3] and is the winner of the 2012 CRM-Fields-PIMS prize in mathematical sciences,[4] and of the 2013 Shoenfield prize.[5]
Mathematical work
- Introduced and investigated "walks on ordinals", proving that the addition of a Cohen real adds a Suslin tree and a negative partition relation
- Introduced forcing with "side conditions" and used it to establish a lower bound for the large cardinal strength of proper forcing axiom (PFA)
- Investigated the Tukey order
- PFA implies
(i.e. the PFA implies that the continuum hypothesis is false)
- S-spaces and L-spaces
