Godfrey Peter Scott, known as Peter Scott, (born 1944) is a British mathematician, known for the Scott core theorem. Scott received his PhD in 1969 from the University of Warwick under Brian Joseph Sanderson.[1] Scott was a professor at the University of Liverpool and later at the University of Michigan. His research deals with low-dimensional geometric topology, differential geometry, and geometric group theory. He has done research on the geometric topology of 3-dimensional manifolds, 3-dimensional hyperbolic geometry, minimal surface theory, hyperbolic groups, and Kleinian groups with their associated geometry, topology, and group theory. In 1973 he proved what is now known as the Scott core theorem or the Scott compact core theorem. This states that every 3-manifold with finitely generated fundamental group has a compact core , i.e., is a compact submanifold such that inclusion induces a homotopy equivalence between and ; the submanifold is called a Scott compact core of the manifold .[2] He had previously proved that, given a fundamental group of a 3-manifold, if is finitely generated then must be finitely presented. In 1986 he was awarded the Senior Berwick Prize. in 2012 he was elected a Fellow of the American Mathematical Society. Selected publications
