> FIRST MILLENNIUM PRIZE TO PERELMAN
> The Clay Mathematics Institute (CMI) has announced that Dr. Grigoriy
> Perelman of St. Petersburg, Russia, is the recipient of the Millennium 
> Prize
> for his resolution of the Poincare conjecture, one of the seven Millennium
> Prize Problems established by CMI in 2000. Perelman's proof of the
> conjecture, which was originally proposed by Jules Henri Poincare in 1904,
> appeared in three papers he posted on the Math ArXiv beginning in late 
> 2002.
> At this point it is not known whether Perelman--who declined a Fields 
> Medal
> in 2006--will accept the prize. Read the announcement, background, and
> reactions, and link to Perelman's articles on the Clay Mathematics 
> Institute

> TATE WINS 2010 ABEL PRIZE
> John Torrence Tate has been named the winner of the 2010 Abel Prize "for 
> his
> vast and lasting impact on the theory of numbers." The prize includes a 
> cash
> award of 6,000,000 Norwegian kroner, currently more than US$1,000,000.
> According to the Abel committee, "Many of the major lines of research in
> algebraic number theory and arithmetic geometry are only possible because 
> of
> the incisive contributions and illuminating insights of John Tate. He has
> truly left a conspicuous imprint on modern mathematics." Some of the ideas
> and constructions initiated by Tate and later named after him are the Tate
> module, Tate curve, Tate cycle, Hodge-Tate decompositions, Tate 
> cohomology,
> Serre-Tate parameter, Lubin-Tate group, Tate trace, Shafarevich-Tate 
> group,
> and Neron-Tate height. AMS President George Andrews said, "The work of 
> John
> Tate has been central to the major developments in number theory through 
> the
> last half of the twentieth century and into the twenty-first. From 1950
> onward, beginning with the legendary 'Tate's Thesis,' John Tate has been a
> dominant figure in algebraic number theory and algebraic geometry. The
> American Mathematical Society extends heartfelt congratulations to John 
> Tate
> on the award to him of the 2010 Abel Prize." Read more and see video
