2006菲尔兹奖（Fields）名花有主，尘埃落定

得主是，

美国普林斯顿大学数学家安德烈·欧克恩科夫（Andrei Okounkov）
俄罗斯数学家格里高利·佩雷尔曼（Grigori Perelman）
美国加州大学洛杉矶分校数学家陶哲轩（Terence Tao）
法国巴黎第十一大学数学家温德林·沃纳（Wendelin Werner）

From:  阅微草堂

ICM的官方文件里简单解释了各人获奖的原因：

Andrei Okounkov: “for his contributions bridging probability, representation theory and algebraic geometry”

Grigori Perelman: “for his contributions to geometry and his revolutionary insights into the analytical and geometric structure of the Ricci flow”

Terence Tao: “for his contributions to partial differential equations, combinatorics, harmonic analysis and additive number theory”.

Wendelin Werner: “for his contributions to the development of stochastic Loewner evolution, the geometry of two-dimensional Brownian motion, and conformal field theory”.

在对Grigori Perelman的介绍里有一段描述他对解决庞加莱猜想的贡献。

Most significantly, his results provide a way of resolving two outstanding problems in topology: the Poincare Conjecture and the Thurston Geometrization Conjecture. As of the summer of 2006, the mathematical community is still in the process of checking his work to ensure that it is entirely correct and that the conjectures have been proved. After more than three years of intense scrutiny, top experts have encountered no serious problems in the work (Further information at www.icm2006.org)

不过阅微草堂堂主张志强说，“Perelman未到现场，并且已经声明拒绝领奖”。

尘埃落定了吗？
