The Millennium Prize Problems were unveiled by the Clay Mathematics Institute (CMI) at a meeting in Paris in 2000 to celebrate “The Universality of Mathematical Thought”. These problems encapsulate some of the most difficult challenges that mathematicians were grappling with at the turn of the millennium. CMI’s purpose in articulating these problems and attaching a […]
The Clay Mathematics Institute extends its heartfelt congratulations to former Clay Research Fellow John Pardon (2015-2020), to 2026 Clay Research Awardees Yu Deng and Hong Wang, and to Jacob Tsimerman, were awarded the2026 Fields Medals by the IMU at the Opening Ceremony of the International Congress of Mathematicians in Philadelphia, PA, on 23 July. Yu Deng’s award is “For his work in partial differential equations, […]
Congratulations to former Clay Research Fellows Dennis Gaitsgory, Ben Green, Sergei Gukov, Adrian Ioana, Elon Lindenstrauss, James Maynard, and Terence Tao, and to CMI president Martin Bridson on being awarded 2026 Frontiers of Science Prizes. The prizes will be presented at the International Congress of Basic Sciences in Beijing on August 9, 2026.
Congratulations to Clay Research Fellow Anna Skorobogatova who has been awarded a 2026 Maryam Mirzakhani New Frontiers Prize for her notable contributions in geometric measure theory, which uses techniques from analysis to tackle geometric problems such as finding surfaces of minimal area. In a series of papers with collaborators, she resolved a long-standing question about […]
