The Norwegian Academy of Science and Letters has decided to award the Abel Prize for 2013 to Pierre Deligne, Institute for Advanced Study, Princeton, New Jersey, USA.
He receives the Abel Prize “for seminal contributions to algebraic geometry and for their transformative impact on number theory, representation theory, and related fields”, to quote the Abel committee.
Deligne will receive the Abel Prize from H.M. King Harald at an award ceremony in Oslo on the 21st of May.
The Abel Prize recognizes contributions of extraordinary depth and influence to the mathematical sciences and has been awarded annually since 2003. It carries a cash award of NOK 6,000,000 (about EUR 800,000 or USD 1 million).
The Abel Prize is awarded in commemoration of the Norwegian mathematician Niels Henrik Abel. Already at an early age, Abel displayed an extraordinary talent for mathematics. Niels Henrik Abel died on 6 April 1829, only 26 years old.
