La SMAI a le plaisir et l’honneur de féliciter les médaillés Fields 2018 :
Caucher Birkar : for the proof of the boundedness of Fano varieties and for contributions tothe minimal model program,
Alessio Figalli : for contributions to the theory of optimal transport and its applications in partial differential equations, metric geometry and probability,
Akshay Venkatesh : for his synthesis of analytic number theory, homogeneous dynamics, topology, and representation theory, which has resolved long-standing problems in areas such as the equidistribution of arithmetic objects,
Peter Scholze : for transforming arithmetic algebraic geometry over p-adic fields through his introduction of perfectoid spaces, with application to Galois representations, and for the development of new cohomology theories.
