#GrigoriPerelman 🇷🇺 proved the #PoincaréConjecture 20 years ago, which was one of the 7 #milleniumproblems in #mathematics. 🧮 He declined a series of awards though, incl. the #FieldsMedal. 🥇

The Poincaré conjecture is "a central problem both in maths and physics because it seeks to understand what the shape of the universe can be," said

Nice interview of Maryna Viazovska: “A maths problem is an intimate thing” @snsf_ch https://www.horizons-mag.ch/2023/03/02/a-maths-problem-is-an-intimate-thing/

Happy 85th birthday to Sergei Novikov https://zbmath.org/authors/novikov.sergei-petrovich! He is famous for his work on algebraic topology and soliton theory, and won the #FieldsMedal in 1970. His influential paper "The periodic problem for the Korteweg-de Vries equation" was reviewed in https://zbmath.org/0299.35017.

Great article about Maryna Viazovska, the sphere-packing number theorist, has become the 2nd woman to win a #FieldsMedal 🎖️ in the award’s 86-year history:

"In March, the war exacted a far greater toll on Ukraine’s math community, when russian air strike in Kharkiv killed the 21-year-old mathematician Yulia Zdanovskaya. 5 years ago, Zdanovskaya won a silver medal at the European Girls’ Mathematical Olympiad..." 💔

The Fields medalist June Huh wasn’t interested in mathematics until a chance encounter during his sixth year of college. His profound insights connecting combinatorics and geometry have led to math’s highest honour.

Sphere-packing problem in 8 and 24 dimensions

Maryna Viazovska, at EPFL, has been awarded a Fields Medal. At 37 years of age, Viazovska has thus become only the second female Fields Medalist – after Maryam Mirzakhani in 2014.

Today, May 12th, was chosen as a day to globally celebrate women in mathematics #WomenInMaths. It was the birthday of Maryam #Mirzakhani (1977-2017), the first and only woman to win the #FieldsMedal.

So how is Dr. Birkar going to be compensated after having his #FieldsMedal stolen? Will the ICM forge a new one for him?
