Recipients of the Fields Medal
The recipients of the Fields Medal in $2022$ were as follows:
| Recipient(s) | Citation |
|---|---|
| Hugo Duminil-Copin | For solving longstanding problems in the probabilistic theory of phase transitions in statistical physics, especially in dimensions three and four. |
| June Huh | For bringing the ideas of Hodge theory to combinatorics, the proof of the Dowling-Wilson conjecture for geometric lattices, the proof of the Heron-Rota-Welsh conjecture for matroids, the development of the theory of Lorentzian polynomials, and the proof of the strong Mason conjecture.. |
| James Maynard | For contributions to analytic number theory, which have led to major advances in the understanding of the structure of prime numbers and in Diophantine approximation. |
| Maryna Sergiivna Viazovska | For the proof that the $E_8$ lattice provides the densest packing of identical spheres in 8 dimensions, and further contributions to related extremal problems and interpolation problems in Fourier analysis. |
Location of conference: Helsinki, Finland
