DESCRIPTION:On November 15, 2010, Leo Esakia died 
 rather unexpectedly in Tbilisi at the age of 76 ye
 ars. He was one of the important logicians, mainly
  working in algebraic logic. His name will live on
  in his Esakia spaces, ordered topological spaces 
 that play a fundamental role in the theory of Heyt
 ing Algebras by the Esakia duality between the cat
 egories of these spaces and algebras, and in many 
 other theorems and concepts.    By his knowledge, 
 energy and enthousiasm he was a source of inspirat
 ion to a large number of students, among which Gur
 am and Nick Bezhanishvili, and David Gabelaia. Thr
 ough these students he had important connections w
 ith the ILLC, and he himself was always involved i
 n the organization of the 2-yearly Tbilisi Symposi
 a in which the ILLC joins the Georgian logicians a
 nd linguists. [The last of these Symposia, in 2009
 , was dedicated to his 75th and Dick de Jongh's 70
 th birthday.] Leo Esakia was continuously working 
 with his students on new problems, he gave a long 
 lecture to them only last week.
