Abel Prize 2023

The Able Prize 2023 is awarded to Luis A. Caffarelli for his seminal contributions to regularity theory for nonlinear partial differential equations including free-boundary problems and the Monge–Ampère equation.

Shaw Prize 2022

The Shaw Prize in Mathematical Sciences 2022 (link) is awarded to Noga Alon and to Ehud Hrushovski for their remarkable contributions to discrete mathematics and model theory with interaction notably with algebraic geometry, topology and computer sciences.

Abel Prize 2022

The Abel Prize 2022 was awarded to Dennis Sullivan “for his groundbreaking contributions to topology in its broadest sense, and in particular its algebraic, geometric and dynamical aspects”.

Wolf Prize 2022

The Wolf Prize in Mathematics 2022 is awarded to George Lusztig for “groundbreaking contributions to representation theory and related areas.” The Wolf Prize is an international award granted in Israel for “achievements in the interest of mankind and friendly relations among people …”. Wikipedia writes further: “Until the establishment of the Abel Prize, the Wolf Prize was probably the closest equivalent of … Continue reading "Wolf Prize 2022"

Shaw Prize 2021

The Shaw Prize 2021 in the Mathematical Sciences goes to Jean-Michel Bismut and Jeff Cheeger for their remarkable insights that have transformed, and continue to transform, modern geometry. Bismut […] imported ideas from probability into index theory, reproving all the main theorems and vastly extending them, which enabled him to link index theory to other parts … Continue reading "Shaw Prize 2021"
