The Shaw Prize in Mathematical Sciences 2023 (with English Subtitle)

The Shaw Prize in Mathematical Sciences 2023 is awarded in equal shares to Professor Vladimir Drinfeld and Professor Shing-Tung Yau, for their contributions related to mathematical physics, to arithmetic geometry, to differential geometry and to Kähler geometry.

They share an interest in mathematical physics. Drinfeld launched with Beilinson the geometric Langlands program, which, to quote Witten, has some common features with aspects of quantum field theory, and yet stems from number theory. Yau worked on mathematical problems arising from general relativity and string theory.
