Frances Kirwan |
Frances Kirwan, Professor of Mathematics at the University of
Oxford, researches in algebraic and symplectic geometry. Her work
endeavours to understand the structure of geometric objects by subtle
investigation of their algebraic and topological properties. This work
calls on facts and techniques from many other areas of mathematics, as
well as requiring a specific ingenuity of its own. |

Yuri I. Manin, Professor Emeritus at the Max-Planck Institute
für Mathematik,
has written papers on: algebraic geometry, number theory (torsion
points on elliptic curves, p-adic modular forms, rational points on
Fano varieties...) and differential equations and mathematical physics
(string theory and quantum groups). His broad research also includes
papers on formal groups, the arithmetic of rational surfaces, cubic
hypersurfaces, noncommutative algebraic geometry, instanton vector
bundles and mathematical logic. Manin has received, and continues to
receive, many honours for his outstanding mathematical
contributions. These include the Moscow Mathematical Society Award
(1963), the Lenin Prize (1967), the Brouwer Gold Medal (1987), the
Frederic Esser Nemmers Prize (1994), the Rolf Schock Prize (1999), the
King Faisal Prize for Mathematics (2002), and the Georg Cantor Medal
of the German Mathematical Society (2002). He helds honorary degrees
at Université Paris-Sorbonne, University of Oslo and
University of Warwick. |
