2010 Fields Medals

August 19, 2010. Four Fields Medals were awarded in Hyderabad, India, at the International Congress of Mathematicians. The recipients were Bao-Châu Ngô, Elon Lindenstrauss, Stanislav Smirnov, and Cédric Villani. Congratulations to all!

Elon Lindenstrauss was a Clay Research Fellow from 2003 through 2005. Bao-Châu Ngô and Stanislav Smirnov were recipients of the Clay Research Award (2004 and 2001, respectively).

Note: July 1, 2010

On June 8-9 CMI held a conference in Paris to celebrate the resolution of the Poincaré conjecture by Grigoriy Perelman. Dr. Perelman has subsequently informed us that he has decided not to accept the one million dollar prize. In the fall of 2010, CMI will make an announcement of how the prize money will be used to benefit mathematics.

Monograph Proposals

The Clay Mathematics Institute solicits manuscripts for its monograph series, published jointly with the AMS. The series publishes selected expositions of recent developments, both in emerging areas and in older subjects transformed by new insights or unifying ideas. If you are interested in submitting a manuscript, please send your project description and a draft section of the proposed manuscript (if available) to Jim Carlson, managing editor, through Vida Salahi (salahi at claymath dot org).


Riemann Hypothesis

Riemann Hypothesis

Formulated in his 1859 paper, the Riemann hypothesis in effect says that the primes are distributed as regularly as possible given their seemingly random occurrence on the number line. Riemann's work gave an 'explicit' formula for the number of primes less than x in terms of the zeros of the zeta function. The first term is x/log(x). The Riemann hypothesis is equivalent to the assertion that other terms are bounded by a constant times log(x) times the square root of x. The Riemann hypothesis asserts that all the 'non-obvious' zeros of the zeta function are complex numbers with real part 1/2.

 


Workshops at CMI

CMI plans to hold four to six small Workshops each year at its offices at One Bow Street, Cambridge, Massachusetts. These will be of three to six days duration. For more information or to make a proposal, please contact Jim Carlson through his executive assistant Alagi Patel (patel at claymath dot org, 617-995-2600).

Independent University of Moscow

The Independent University of Moscow (IUM) opened its doors in September of 1991 in an effort to preserve the great Russsian mathematical tradition, then threatened by the enormous forces of political and economic change buffetting the country. A small, elite school which trains future research mathematicians, the IUM is now a vital part of Moscow mathematical life. The Clay Institute has been one of the IUM's supporters for many years. To learn more about what the IUM does, read this report from the newlsetter of the European Mathematical Society.


CMI Publications

CMI publications are available in PDF form at most six months after they appear in print. They are also available in printed form at the AMS bookstore and with 20% Student Discount.


Euclid's Elements

A new digitized edition of Euclid's Elements, the d'Orville Mansucript at the Bodleian Library, is now available online. The new edition includes an index by proposition and cross-references to Heiberg's Greek text and Heath's translation.
