Topic: Fields medals
Patrick Massot (Jul 31 2018 at 18:37):
Who wants to bet on Fields medals that will be awarded tomorrow? I mean the other Fields medals, not Scholze's.
Kenny Lau (Jul 31 2018 at 18:37):
oh, we don't know yet?
Patrick Massot (Jul 31 2018 at 18:37):
I don't know
Patrick Massot (Jul 31 2018 at 18:37):
Do you know?
Kenny Lau (Jul 31 2018 at 18:37):
is there any way it can be viewed in Hong Kong?
Kenny Lau (Jul 31 2018 at 18:38):
e.g. can I view it online?
Kenny Lau (Jul 31 2018 at 18:38):
and when is it?
Patrick Massot (Jul 31 2018 at 18:38):
It's 2018, I do hope this will be live on Youtube
Kenny Lau (Jul 31 2018 at 18:38):
it isn't like the world cup is live on youtube
Patrick Massot (Jul 31 2018 at 18:39):
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCnMLdlOoLICBNcEzjMLOc7w looks promising
Patrick Massot (Jul 31 2018 at 18:39):
There is no money to make here, it's not soccer
Kenny Lau (Jul 31 2018 at 18:39):
do you know when is it?
Patrick Massot (Jul 31 2018 at 18:39):
http://www.icm2018.org/portal/en/program-at-a-glance (you want to see the opening ceremony)

Kenny Lau (Jul 31 2018 at 18:40):
"opening ceremony" is quite a cryptic name
Patrick Massot (Jul 31 2018 at 18:41):
People can't wait
Mario Carneiro (Jul 31 2018 at 20:19):
There is no money to make here, it's not soccer
I'm pretty sure I heard at least one monetary bet being discussed at ICMS
Patrick Massot (Jul 31 2018 at 20:43):
I guess it wasn't much money
Patrick Massot (Jul 31 2018 at 20:55):
Do you remember what was the bet?
Patrick Massot (Jul 31 2018 at 20:57):
For proof assistants, the most favorable winner would be Viazovska.
Scott Morrison (Jul 31 2018 at 21:19):
Other names I've heard mentioned are Geordie Williamson and Ciprian Manolescu.
Patrick Massot (Jul 31 2018 at 22:43):
Oh sure, those are serious contenders. I even understand a bit about what Ciprian is doing. We could at least formalize the statement of his triangulation stuff.
Johan Commelin (Aug 01 2018 at 11:10):
I would guess Scholze, Birkar, Viazovska, and I have no guess for #4. We will know in a couple of hours!
Kenny Lau (Aug 01 2018 at 11:29):
no livestream?
Scott Morrison (Aug 01 2018 at 11:30):
Perhaps <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Webvi7vxUCk>?
Kenny Lau (Aug 01 2018 at 11:30):
oh nice
Johan Commelin (Aug 01 2018 at 11:30):
I am watching a still image together with 532 other people.
Johan Commelin (Aug 01 2018 at 11:32):
Is the picture moving, over at your side?
Kenny Lau (Aug 01 2018 at 11:32):
nee
Johan Commelin (Aug 01 2018 at 11:37):
What a resounding technological success!
Kenny Lau (Aug 01 2018 at 11:38):
heeft het gebeginnd?
Johan Commelin (Aug 01 2018 at 11:40):
No, it didn't start yet.
Johan Commelin (Aug 01 2018 at 11:40):
I'm one of the 680 optimists who hope it will start soon...
Sean Leather (Aug 01 2018 at 11:41):
679 of those might have it on in the background while doing other things...
Johan Commelin (Aug 01 2018 at 11:47):
Sorry for my late reply... I was trying to get a tex-file to compile. But yes, that's a brilliant strategy.
Johan Commelin (Aug 01 2018 at 11:52):
@Kenny Lau You know Portuguese. Why don't you give them a call to tell them their Live-stream is br0xen.
Johan Commelin (Aug 01 2018 at 12:05):
Something happened!!!!!
Johan Commelin (Aug 01 2018 at 12:05):
The image is moving.
Johan Commelin (Aug 01 2018 at 12:06):
Alas, there is no mathematics yet...
Kenny Lau (Aug 01 2018 at 12:34):
now!
Kenny Lau (Aug 01 2018 at 12:35):
they really need to fix their audio
Scott Morrison (Aug 01 2018 at 12:35):
There's been a photo up on facebook for about 45m. :-)
Scott Morrison (Aug 01 2018 at 12:35):
Someone snuck down to the front row.
Scott Morrison (Aug 01 2018 at 12:36):
My two hoped-fors weren't there. :-(
Johan Commelin (Aug 01 2018 at 12:38):
Kashiwara got the Chern medal. So then no Fields medal for Williamson.
Kenny Lau (Aug 01 2018 at 12:38):
I think I didn't hear the first one due to audio quality
Johan Commelin (Aug 01 2018 at 12:38):
Audio is horrible.
Kenny Lau (Aug 01 2018 at 12:39):
Ali Nesin
Scott Morrison (Aug 01 2018 at 12:40):
Neither Williamson nor Manolescu :-(
Scott Morrison (Aug 01 2018 at 12:40):
Here we go...
Kenny Lau (Aug 01 2018 at 12:40):
Fields medals now
Kenny Lau (Aug 01 2018 at 12:42):
Caucher Birkar
Kenny Lau (Aug 01 2018 at 12:43):
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caucher_Birkar
Johan Commelin (Aug 01 2018 at 12:47):
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fields_Medal also lists another name
Kenny Lau (Aug 01 2018 at 12:50):
Alessio Figalli
Kenny Lau (Aug 01 2018 at 12:50):
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alessio_Figalli
Kenny Lau (Aug 01 2018 at 12:58):
Peter Scholze
Kenny Lau (Aug 01 2018 at 13:03):
Akshay Venkatesh
Johan Commelin (Aug 01 2018 at 13:31):
Anyway, I got 2 out of 4 correct! Where do I collect my cash?
Patrick Massot (Aug 01 2018 at 19:10):
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B0OOw84PZ_E is pretty nice to watch
Patrick Massot (Aug 01 2018 at 19:12):
I'm very happy Alessio got it. We worked in the same corridor for one year. I was during my PhD, and it was the whole length of his PhD...

Kenny Lau (Aug 01 2018 at 21:13):
what a turn of events
Patrick Massot (Aug 01 2018 at 21:24):
Schapira will give (or has given?) the laudatio for Kashiwara, this may be fun. It will make up a bit for the fact that Fontaine is not giving the laudatio for Scholze.
