American Mathematical Society 2008 Awards
The American Mathematical Society (AMS) is presenting several prizes at
the Joint Mathematics Meetings in San Diego on January 7, 2008,
including two prizes that are awarded jointly with two other mathematics
organizations, the Mathematical Association of America (MAA) and the
Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics (SIAM).
AMS Leroy P. Steele Prize for Lifetime Achievement: GEORGE LUSZTIG of
the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, for entirely reshaping
representation theory, and in the process changing much of mathematics.
AMS Leroy P. Steele Prize for a Seminal Contribution to Research: ENDRE
SZEMEREDI of Rutgers University and the Alfred Renyi Institute in
Budapest, for his landmark paper "On sets of integers containing no k
elements in arithmetic progression", ACTA ARITHMETICA XXVII (1975),
pages 199-245.
AMS Leroy P. Steele Prize for Mathematical Exposition: NEIL TRUDINGER of
the Australian National University, for his book "Elliptic Partial
Differential Equations of Second Order", written with the late David
Gilbarg (Springer 1977; second edition 1983).
AMS Maxime Bocher Memorial Prize: ALBERTO BRESSAN of Pennsylvania State
University, for his fundamental works on hyperbolic conservation laws;
CHARLES FEFFERMAN of Princeton University, for his many fundamental
contributions to various areas of analysis; and CARLOS KENIG of the
University of Chicago, for his important contributions to harmonic
analysis, partial differential equations (PDEs), and in particular to
nonlinear dispersive PDEs.
AMS Frank Nelson Cole Prize in Number Theory: MANJUL BHARGAVA of
Princeton University, for his revolutionary work on higher composition laws.
AMS Joseph Doob Prize: ENRICO BOMBIERI of the Institute for Advanced
Study in Princeton and WALTER GUBLER of the University of Dortmund in
Germany, for their book "Heights in Diophantine Geometry" (Cambridge
University Press, 2006).
AMS Leonard Eisenbud Prize for Mathematics and Physics: HIROSI OOGURI of
the California Institute of Technology and ANDREW STROMINGER and CUMRUN
VAFA of Harvard University, for their paper "Black Hole Attractors and
the Topological String (Physical Review D, 70 (2004) 106007).
AMS Award for Distinguished Public Service: HERBERT CLEMENS of the Ohio
State University, for his superb research in complex algebraic geometry,
for his efforts in education at the local and national levels, and for
his seminal role in the founding and continuation of the Park City/IAS
Mathematics Institute.
AMS Levi L. Conant Prize: BRIAN CONREY, director of the American
Institute of Mathematics in Palo Alto, California, for his article "The
Riemann Hypothesis", AMS Notices, March 2003, pages 341-353 (available
at http://www.ams.org/notices/200303/fea-conrey.pdf); and SHLOMO HOORY
of IBM Haifa Research Labs, NATHAN LINIAL of the Hebrew University of
Jerusalem, and AVI WIGDERSON of the Institute for Advanced Study in
Princeton, for their article "Expander graphs and their applications",
Bulletin of the AMS, volume 43, number 4 (2006) 439-561 (available at
http://www.ams.org/bulletin).
AMS-MAA-SIAM Frank and Brennie Morgan Prize for Outstanding Research in
Mathematics by an Undergraduate Student: NATHAN KAPLAN, a student at
Princeton University and at the University of Cambridge, for having
written four impressive research papers in algebraic number theory,
three of which have been accepted for publication.
JPBM Communications Award: CARL BIALIK of the Wall Street Journal, for
his columns and blogs about the misuse of numbers and statistics
throughout society.
