Milestones and Prizes

Congratulations to John Pardon on winning the New Horizons in Mathematics Prize for important results in geometry and topology, particularly in the field of symplectic geometry and pseudo-holomorphic curves, which are certain types of smooth surfaces in manifolds.

LOGARITHMS AND THE PRIVATE LIVES OF ELEMENTARY PARTICLES

By George Sterman, Director of the C.N. Yang Institute for Theoretical Physics Most of us would agree that addition and subtraction are simpler than multiplication and division, at least for big numbers. And this is not just for people who lack an affinity for math. When quantitative astronomy began in earnest, astronomers like Tycho Brahe … Read more

Young-Kee Kim Young-Kee Kim, an experimental particle physicist, is Louis Block Distinguished Service Professor and Chair of the Department of Physics at the University of Chicago.  She has devoted much of her research to understanding the origin of mass for fundamental particles by studying two of the most massive particles (the W boson and the … Read more

A COOPERATION TO BUILD ‘THE FOUNDATIONS OF SYMPLECTIC GEOMETRY’

By Kenji Fukaya Recently there has been a discussion among mathematicians, as well as in press and several blogs, covering the developments in symplectic geometry. Professor Fukaya expressed interest in giving his opinion and we are happy to present it here: The set of the solutions of the equation x2 + y2 – z2 = … Read more
