Simon Donaldson

Prix

1. 1986

   médaille Fields

   Mathématiques

   Received medal primarily for his work on topology of four-manifolds, especially for showing that there is a differential structure on Euclidean four-space which is different from the usual structure.

2. 1994

   Prix Crafoord — Mathématiques

   Mathématiques

   for his fundamental investigations in four-dimensional geometry through application of instantos in particular his new discovery of new differential invariants

3. 2009

   Prix Shaw — Sciences mathématiques

   Mathématiques

   For their many brilliant contributions to geometry in 3 and 4 dimensions.

4. 2015

   Prix Breakthrough — Mathématiques

   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. 2020
