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)

Patrick Massot (Jul 31 2018 at 18:40):

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):

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2018/aug/01/fields-medal-award-stolen-brazil-maths-prize

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.
