This is my laudation for Scholze's Fields medal 2018.

This paper was motivated by the worldwide May 12 initiative that aims to celebrate, encourage, and inspire women in mathematics. It presents in short how the May 12 initiative has arisen, what are some of the events in the first years, in…

This paper is an exposition, written for the Nieuw Archief voor Wiskunde, about the two recent breakthrough results in the theory of sphere packings. It includes an interview with Henry Cohn, Abhinav Kumar, Stephen D. Miller, and Maryna…

The past decade has seen tremendous progress in our understanding of the behaviour of many probabilistic models at or near their "critical point". On the 5th of July 2022, Hugo Duminil-Copin was awarded the Fields medal for the crucial role…

This is an expository article discussing some of the work of Uhlenbeck, focusing mainly on work concerning harmonic maps and Yang-Mills fields.

In this explanatory work, we make an attempt to briefly discuss the work and technical achievements of twenty female mathematicians. The work may be useful as a historical resource, but there is very little biography or history, and the…

In 2016, Viazovska famously solved the sphere packing problem in dimension $8$, using modular forms to construct a 'magic' function satisfying optimality conditions determined by Cohn and Elkies in 2003. In March 2024, Hariharan and…

This article is an account of the scientific work of Hugo Duminil-Copin at the time of his award in 2022 of the Fields Medal "for solving longstanding problems in the probabilistic theory of phase transitions in statistical physics,…

We give a brief account of some of the most spectacular results established by James Maynard for which he has been awarded the Fields Medal.

It is hard to understand spin-one-half fields without reading Weinberg. This paper is a pedagogical footnote to his formalism with an emphasis on the boost matrix, spinors, and Majorana fields.

Professional sports enhance interaction among athletes through training groups, sponsored events and competitions. Among these, the Olympic Games represent the largest competition with a global impact, providing the participants with a…

Biathlon is a unique winter sport that combines precision rifle marksmanship with the endurance demands of cross-country skiing. We develop a Bayesian hierarchical model to predict and understand shooting performance using data from the…

Steven Weinberg was a giant of late 20th Century physics on whose shoulders we stand while groping for the science of the 21st Century. This article provides a too-brief summary of a selection of his many achievements -- eight decades of…

For three Winter Olympics in a row, tiny nation Norway has out-medalled everyone else, in 2026 winning 18 golds, 12 silvers, 11 bronzes, i.e.~41 medals, compared to e.g.~12 + 12 + 9 = 33 for the USA, 10 + 6 + 14 = 30 for home team Italy, 8…

Response to the Comment by Bellessa (arXiv:cond-mat/0006441).

Some personal memories of the Nobel Prize Winners 2022 Alain Aspect, John Clauser, and Anton Zeilinger are summarized and the significance of their works is described in a historical perspective.
