1. Jean Bourgain

   Mathématiques

   Bourgain's work touches on several central topics of mathematical analysis: the geometry of Banach spaces, convexity in high dimensions, harmonic analysis, ergodic theory, and finally, nonlinear partial differential equations from mathematical physics.

2. Pierre-Louis Lions

   Mathématiques

   His contributions cover a variety of areas, from probability theory to partial differential equations (PDEs). Within the PDE area he has done several beautiful things in nonlinear equations. The choice of his problems have always been motivated by applications.

3. Jean-Christophe Yoccoz

   Mathématiques

   Yoccoz obtained a very enlightening proof of Bruno's theorem, and he was able to prove the converse [...] Palis and Yoccoz obtained a complete system of C∞ conjugation invariants for Morse-Smale diffeomorphisms.

4. Efim I. Zelmanov

   Mathématiques

   For the solution of the restricted Burnside problem.
