🗞️   Israeli-American mathematician Gaitsgory scoops $3m Breakthrough Prize in Mathematics

Science

Israeli-American mathematician Dennis Gaitsgory was awarded the 2025 Breakthrough Prize in Mathematics for his role in the proof of the geometric Langlands conjecture in early April.Gaitsgory has spent the past thirty years solving the Langlands problem, often called a "grand unified theory of mathematics." The problem "is based on a series of conjectures proposing deep connections between two disparate parts of mathematics: the study of polynomial equations on the one hand and the study of geometric symmetries on the other," a handout from the Breakthrough Prize read.The proof is expected to have a resounding effect on other areas of mathematics, including number theory, algebraic geometry, and mathematical physics.
