Gerd Faltings to Receive the 2026 Abel Prize

Posted in

The Norwegian Academy of Science and Letters has awarded the 2026 Abel Prize to Gerd Faltings, director emeritus at the Max Planck Institute for Mathematics in Bonn and professor emeritus at the University of Bonn, "for introducing powerful tools in arithmetic geometry and solving long-standing diophantine conjectures by Mordell and Lang."

 

The prize will be presented by His Royal Highness Crown Prince Haakon at a ceremony on May 26, 2026, in Oslo. It consists of 7.5 million Norwegian kroner, equivalent to €670,000, and is funded by the Norwegian government. Gerd Faltings is the first German mathematician to receive this highest honor in mathematics.

Program and Abstracts of Conference on "New Perspectives on Stable Homotopy and Beyond"

Conference on "New Perspectives on Stable Homotopy and Beyond", September 7-11, 2026

The goal of this conference is to bring together researchers working in and around stable and chromatic homotopy theory, higher categories, and their geometric counterparts. It will serve both to highlight recent advances in these fields and to celebrate the fundamental contributions of Neil Strickland to their development.
