数学科学奖
2020

2020年度邵逸夫数学科学奖平均颁予亚历山大・贝林森 (Alexander Beilinson) 和大卫・卡兹丹 (David Kazhdan)，以表彰他们对表示论，以及许多其他数学领域的重大影响和深远贡献。亚历山大・贝林森是美国芝加哥大学大卫和玛丽•温顿格林讲座 教授。大卫・卡兹丹是以色列耶路撒冷希伯来大学数学教授。

亚历山大・贝林森和大卫・卡兹丹两位数学家对被称为表示论的数学分支作出了深远贡献，他们也为许多其他领域带来根本性的影响而闻名，例如算术几何学、K理论、共形场论、数论、代数和复数几何、 群论以及广泛的代数领域。除了证明重要定理，他们还创造了一些概念性工具，这些工具对其他数学家取得突破至关重要。他们的工作既深且广，促进了诸多数学领域的长足发展。

Alexander Beilinson and David Kazhdan have made profound contributions to the branch of mathematics known as representation theory, and are also famous for the fundamental influence they have had on many other areas, such as arithmetic geometry, K-theory, conformal field theory, number theory, algebraic and complex geometry, group theory, and algebra more generally. As well as proving remarkable theorems themselves, they have created conceptual tools that have been essential to many breakthroughs of other mathematicians. Thanks to their work and its exceptionally broad reach, large areas of mathematics are significantly more advanced than would otherwise have been possible.
