2023 Breakthrough Prize in Mathematics

  • Daniel A. Spielman, Yale University

    For breakthrough contributions to theoretical computer science and mathematics, including to spectral graph theory, the Kadison-Singer problem, numerical linear algebra, optimization, and coding theory.

2023 New Horizons in Mathematics Prize

  • Ana Caraiani, Imperial College London and University of Bonn

    For diverse transformative contributions to the Langlands program, and in particular for work with Peter Scholze on the Hodge-Tate period map for Shimura varieties and its applications.

  • Ronen Eldan, Weizmann Institute of Science and Microsoft Research

    For the creation of the stochastic localization method, that has led to significant progress in several open problems in high-dimensional geometry and probability, including Jean Bourgain's slicing problem and the KLS conjecture.

  • James Maynard, Oxford University and Institute for Advanced Study

    For multiple contributions to analytic number theory, and in particular to the distribution of prime numbers.

2023 Maryam Mirzakhani New Frontiers Prize

  • Maggie Miller, Stanford University and Clay Mathematics Institute (PhD Princeton University 2020)

    For work on fibered ribbon knots and surfaces in 4-dimensional manifolds.

  • Jinyoung Park, Stanford University (PhD Rutgers University 2020)

    For contributions to the resolution of several major conjectures on thresholds and selector processes.

  • Vera Traub, University of Bonn (PhD University of Bonn 2020)

    For advances in approximation results in classical combinatorial optimization problems, including the traveling salesman problem and network design.
