Chris Cantell Discusses Science: Castigatorii

by Claudia Sonea

Ei bine, toti ati auzit de Premiul Nobel sau cel putin asa sper pentru ca reprezinta recunoasterea la nivel global a meritelor unei personae. Totusi, ma intreb cati dintre voi stiti despre Premiul Abel. Este de fapt un premiu international de matematica numit dupa norvegianul mathematician din secolul 19 Niels Henrik Abel si acordat anual incepand cu 2003 de catre regale Norvegiei unuia sau mai multor candidate pentru lucrarile realizate. Anul acesta a fost castigat de catre John Griggs Thompson din SUA si Jacques Tits din Franta. Thomson este bine cunoscut pentru studiul din domeniul grupelor pare, in timp ce Tits este un mathematician francez de origine belgiana care a scris un numar mare de lucrari despre teoria de grup (are de a face cu concepte din simetrie printre altele). Joie i au castigat $1.2 milioane pe care vor trebui sa-i imparta. Pe 20 mai va avea loc ceremonia de decernare a premiului de catre regale norvegian Harald. Academia norvegiana de stiinta si litere allege annual un comitet de 5 matematicieni internationali care anul acesta a considerat ca lucrarile celor doi au fost uimitoare si de o semnificatie profunda. Amandoi matematicienii si-au publicat lucrarile individual. Premiul Abel este aproape la fel de faimos ca si Nobelul si are rolul de a atrage atentia asupra matematicii, facand-o mai atragatoare oameniilor, mai ales tinerilor. Exista si alte premii precum Adams Prize, Carl Friedrich Gauss Prize, Euler Medal, etc. Lucruri bune se intampla celor care munces, asadar le dorim noroc in continuare celor doi, in cercetarile lor.
