2026 Fields Medal
Summary
The Nature article titled "Rising stars of mathematics awarded 2026 Fields Medal" reports on the announcement of mathematics' most prestigious under-40 award, presented at the International Congress of Mathematicians in Philadelphia to four outstanding researchers: Yu Deng (University of Chicago), recognized for his breakthrough derivations in partial differential equations and gas dynamics via the Boltzmann equation; John Pardon (Stony Brook University), honored for resolving longstanding geometric problems and counting curves in symplectic geometry; Jacob Tsimerman (University of Toronto), awarded for expanding o-minimal techniques in arithmetic and complex algebraic geometry, including proofs of the André-Oort and Griffiths conjectures; and Hong Wang (New York University / IHES), recognized for her achievements in harmonic analysis and geometric measure theory, notably resolving the 3D Kakeya needle problem to become only the third woman in history to earn the medal.
