2016 Clay Research Awards
The Clay Mathematics Institute announces two 2016 Clay Research Awards. The joint Award to Mark Gross and Bernd Siebert is made in recognition of their groundbreaking contributions to the understanding of mirror symmetry, in joint work generally known as the ‘Gross-Siebert Program’. It has its origins in surprising predictions of non-perturbative dualities in string theory: that the […]

2015 Ostrowski Prize
Research Fellow Peter Scholze has been awarded the 2015 Ostrowski Prize for his breakthrough work in arithmetic algebraic geometry. He developed the theory of perfectoid spaces and successfully applied the theory to address a number of difficult open questions. He proved Deligne’s weight monodromy conjecture for varieties that are nonsingular complete intersections in projective space; this […]
