Saharon Shelah
Saharon Shelah (1945 - ) is an Israeli mathematician.
He is a professor of mathematics at the
Hebrew University of Jerusalem
and also at Rutgers University in New Jersey, USA.
Shelah's main interest lies in mathematical logic, in particular
in model theory and set theory.
Shelah is one of the most prolific contemporary mathematicians.
As of 2003, he has (together with about 190 coauthors)
published more than 750 mathematical papers.
Among his most important results are:
- in model theory, the introduction and development of his classification theory, which led him to a solution of Morley's problem
- in set theory,
- the invention of the notion of proper forcing, an important tool in iterated forcing arguments
- pcf theory, which shows that in spite of the undecidability of the most basic questions of cardinal arithmetic (such as the continuum hypothesis), there are highly nontrivial ZFC theorems about cardinal exponentiation, after all.
Shelah also solved several outstanding questions from other fields,among them:

Dear Professor Saharon Shelah, we prepare an artilce and need to cite Your article ``On a Kurosh problem; Johnsson groups; Frattini subgroups and untopologized groups'' which was issued after 1976. Regretably we have only its offprint with no date-line. The above mentioned article is absent in Your mathamatical papers Archive. The item [*] in it is suspicious to be the desired one but we are not sure it is. It would be very kind of You if You inform us. Sincerely Yours, V.Arnautov, K.Filippov. [*] Shelah, On a problem of Kurosh, Jonsson groups, and applications -- Word problems, II (Conf.
