Talk:Greg Hjorth

'bout time :-)
Thanks to MrsHudson for finally creating this article. I've made a few edits. I should disclose that Greg was my dissertation advisor; please let me know of anything that appears non-neutral.

I'd like to find a source for his dissertation title. You can look it up on ProQuest or MathSciNet, but those are difficult to access for folks not at a university. The Mathematics Genealogy Project, unfortunately, got it wrong, transcribing u2 as N2. Also you'd think there would be a the before second; does anyone have an actual copy?

(Anecdote that would be great to include if anyone can source it: Supposedly he wanted to call the thesis The Influence of U2, like the band, but the powers-that-were wouldn't let him.)

Finally, there's the touchy point of whether we give priority to the mathematics or the chess. My sense is that, although I'm sure he could have done a lot of damage in the chess world if he'd kept with it, he picked mathematics instead, and that is where his influence was greater. --Trovatore (talk) 23:15, 21 May 2011 (UTC)
