Caucher Birkar( 1978~, Iranian-born British mathematician, Cambridge University, reason for winning the prize: in recognition of his contribution to proving the boundedness of Fano clusters and the minimal model program);
Alessio Feghali (1984~, Italian mathematician, Federal Institute of Technology Zurich, award-winning reason: in recognition of his optimal transmission theory and its application in partial differential equations, metric geometry and probability theory);
Peter Scholze( 1987~, German mathematician, University of Bonn, reason for winning the prize: in recognition of his contribution to the development of cohomology theory by transforming the arithmetic algebra geometry in P-ary field into a perfect virtual real space and applying it to Galois representation theory);
Akshay Venkatesh (1981~, Australian mathematician, Stanford University, reason for award: in recognition of his contributions to comprehensive analytic number theory, homogeneous dynamical systems, topology and representation theory).
Here are some brief introductions to the four new winners.
Kocher bilka 1978 was born in the Kurdish region of Iran. He studied mathematics at Tehran University and got a bachelor's degree. Due to the domestic political turmoil, he went to the University of Nottingham to study for a doctorate in mathematics. In 2003, he was awarded the prize of London Mathematical Society and became the most promising doctoral student. His main research field is algebraic geometry, especially high-dimensional double rational geometry, and his theory provides many solutions for the long-standing unsolved conjecture. But this time, it is sad that his gold medal disappeared soon after he got it, and the jury can only express regret.
Awards:
Leverhulme Award;
Paris Mathematical Foundation Award;
AMS Moore Award;
Fields Medal (2008).
Alessio Figalli was born in 1984 and is an Italian mathematician. In 2006, he received a bachelor's degree from the University of Pisa, and then a master's degree and a doctor's degree from Pisa Normal University and Lyon Higher Normal University respectively. In 2008, he became Professor Adama at the Paris Institute of Technology, then became a professor at the University of Texas at Austin, and became the chief professor at the Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich on October 20/2006. His main work is variational methods and partial differential equations, and he is devoted to the study of optimal transportation theory. Awards:
Prix and Cours Peccot (2065438+02);
EMS award (2012);
Stampacchia Medal (2065438+05);
Feltrinelli Prize (2065438+07);
Fields Medal (20 18).
Peter schulz 1987 was born in Germany. After winning three gold medals and a silver medal in the International Mathematical Olympiad, he began to study mathematics at Bonn University in 2007. It took him only three semesters to get his bachelor's degree and two semesters to get his master's degree. In the year of graduation, he received a doctorate in mathematics under the guidance of mathematician Michael rapoport. This speed is amazing. His main research fields are arithmetic, algebra and geometry, and he has made many important achievements at a young age and has always been regarded as Grothendieck's successor. Awards:

Akshay Venkatesh1981was born in New Delhi, India, and then went to Australia to study. 1/kloc-0 won the bronze medal in the international physics olympiad at the age of/,then his interest turned to mathematics, and he won the second place in the national mathematics competition the following year, and then won the bronze medal in the international competition. At this time, he is still under 13 years old. After that, he entered the University of Western Australia to study mathematics, and in 2002, he obtained a doctorate in mathematics from Princeton University. His research interests are mainly number theory, representation theory, locally symmetric spaces and ergodicity. Awards:
