Prix Breakthrough 2015 : lauréats

Destinataires

1. Jacob Lurie

   Mathématiques

   for his work on the foundations of higher category theory and derived algebraic geometry; for the classification of fully extended topological quantum field theories; and for providing a moduli-theoretic interpretation of elliptic cohomology.

2. Maxim Kontsevich

   Mathématiques

   for work making a deep impact in a vast variety of mathematical disciplines, including algebraic geometry, deformation theory, symplectic topology, homological algebra and dynamical systems.

3. Richard Taylor

   Mathématiques

   for numerous breakthrough results in the theory of automorphic forms, including the Taniyama–Weil conjecture, the local Langlands conjecture for general linear groups, and the Sato–Tate conjecture.

4. Simon Donaldson

   Mathématiques

   for the new revolutionary invariants of 4-dimensional manifolds and for the study of the relation between stability in algebraic geometry and in global differential geometry, both for bundles and for Fano varieties.

5. Terence Tao

   Mathématiques

   for numerous breakthrough contributions to harmonic analysis, combinatorics, partial differential equations and analytic number theory.
