David Gabai, a mathematician, is the Hughes-Rogers Professor of Mathematics at Princeton University.^[2] Focused on low-dimensional topology and hyperbolic geometry, he is a leading researcher in those subjects.

Biography

David Gabai received his B.S. degree from MIT in 1976 and his Ph.D. from Princeton in 1980, the latter under the direction of William Thurston. During his Ph.D., he obtained foundational results on the foliations of 3-manifolds.

After positions at Harvard and University of Pennsylvania, Gabai spent most of the period of 1986–2001 at Caltech, and has been at Princeton since 2001.

Honours and awards

In 2004, David Gabai was awarded the Oswald Veblen Prize in Geometry,^[3] given every three years by the American Mathematical Society.

He was an invited speaker in the International Congress of Mathematicians 2010, Hyderabad on the topic of topology.^[4]

In 2011, he was elected to the United States National Academy of Sciences.^[5] In 2012, he became a fellow of the American Mathematical Society.^[6]

Work

David Gabai has played a key role in the field of topology of 3-manifolds in the last three decades. Some of the foundational results he and his collaborators have proved are as follows: Existence of taut foliation in 3-manifolds, Property R Conjecture, foundation of essential laminations, Seifert fiber space conjecture, rigidity of homotopy hyperbolic 3-manifolds, weak hyperbolization for 3-manifolds with genuine lamination, Smale conjecture for hyperbolic 3-manifolds, Marden's Tameness Conjecture, Weeks manifold being the minimum volume closed hyperbolic 3-manifold.
