Maryna Viazovska is awarded the 2022 Fields Medal

Maryna Viazovska has received a Fields Medal, a prestigious honor often described as the Nobel Prize of Mathematics, for her work on the sphere-packing problem in 8 and 24 dimensions. Previously, the problem had been solved for only three dimensions or fewer. Another Fields Medal is awarded to University of Geneva mathematician Hugo Duminil-Copin.

This world of mathematicians - I envy the intellect and ability to work on such abstract cases. And with math it will always be: Sometimes the real world usecase might take a while to be found, but then in the future someone will look back and will thank Maryna. It might be 5, 10 or even 300 years. :)

Whoever the editor or editors of this video is or are, they did a great job and they seem passionate about what they do.

Wow, so amazing to see her win fields medal in 2022. I still remember seeing that quanta article way back in 7th grade or so (2016) about when she solved it in dimensions 8 and 24 and how brilliant the proof was.

I have a bachelors in mathematics and I haven't been to a gym in 15 years. I still have a better chance of winning world's strongest man than obtaining a Fields Medal.

it's always a delight seeing female great minds honoured highly prestigious awards! Congrats Maryna and best of luck on your upcoming work

[jonathanwalther]

Congratulations!

Btw, give the editor/creator of the video a raise! Extremely elegant and a treat to look at.

[usptact]

Tremendous respect! Fantastic achievement, Maryna!

[benzoylmethylekgonin]

Congratulations! Always love to see someone contribute to Mathematics :)

[VirtuelleWeltenMitKhan]

It might be theoretical but even I knew about the sphere packing problem.
I read about the solution.
Well done, well deserved. This is a achievement others can't even dare to dream of.

Congratulations Maryna. Your work is poetry

Congratulations Maryna... Love from India 🇮🇳

The detail of using the environment, recipient's university, just within the context of the content what the award about is very nice.

[warrendsmith]

I would not agree her work "has no application." The optimal sphere packings in dimension 8 & 24 are used to transmit information as analog signals in a way immune to sufficiently small amounts of noise.

[francescoghiretti]

Well done Maryna, the world needs people like you

[Urix]

The spheres (surfaces defined by fixed distances from a point specified by 8 and 24 coordinates in 8 and 24 space geometry) do pack tightly.

Great job, very well done :-) With deep respect for the great minds, that live today, have been living and will be living in the future. That's what mankind is all about. The rest of us are just a mere kind of padding material in the evolutionary process of the universe.

Congratulations!! Дуже прємно і радісно за Вас!
