Chess career

Hjorth came second in the 1980 Australian Chess Championship, at the age of 16.[5] He won the Doeberl Cup in Canberra in 1982, 1985 and 1987, and played for Australia in the Chess Olympiads of 1982, 1984 and 1986.[6]

According to Chessmetrics, his best single performance was at the 1984 British Chess Championship, where he scored 4/7 against 2551-rated opposition, for a performance rating of 2570.[7]

Hjorth retired from most chess in the 1980s.

Mathematical career

Hjorth earned his PhD in 1993, under the direction of W. Hugh Woodin, with a dissertation entitled On the influence of second uniform indiscernible. He held faculty positions at the University of California, Los Angeles and the University of Melbourne. University Of Melbourne has Greg Hjorth Memorial Prize (biennial scholarship is awarded to the most outstanding postgraduate thesis in mathematics, with preference given to areas of logic, set theory, measure theory or related topics passed by examiners within the previous two calendar years) named after him.[8] Among his most important contributions to set theory was the so-called theory of turbulence, used in the theory of Borel equivalence relations.[9][10] In 1998, he was an Invited Speaker of the International Congress of Mathematicians in Berlin.[11]

Death

Hjorth died suddenly of a heart attack in Melbourne, on 13 January 2011.
