Филдсовские премии
Интересно, что в этом году 3 из 4 премий дали "физическим" математикам, т.е. за работы в областях, смежных с физикой:
Dr. Lindenstrauss, the first Israeli mathematician to receive a Fields, applied ergodic theory, a field developed to describe the motion of dynamical systems like billiards balls, to problems in number theory. He also showed how quantum mechanics could be mixed into chaos theory.
Dr. Chau, the first Vietnamese mathematician to receive a Fields, proved a proposition, or fundamental lemma, that underlies a three-decade effort by mathematicians to link geometry and number theory.
Dr. Smirnov, who was born in Russia, provided a firm mathematical foundation to simple models used by physicists to describe magnetism or percolation of water through soil.
Dr. Villani, a Frenchman, looked at how order falls apart into disorder in systems like colliding gas molecules.
Неужели сбывается мечта Арнольда о взаимо-влиянии? Если да, то жутко любопытно заглянуть в будущее и посмотреть, как все это развивается.
