Pavel Winternitz, 2018 Wigner medal winner

Professor Winternitz has been a CRM member for many decades. He was instrumental in making the CRM into an internationally-renowned institution. He is also a member of the CRM Physics mathematics laboratory. He is professor at the mathematics and statistics department of the Université de Montréal.
During his career, he obtained many honors and prizes among them the CAP-CRM Prize (2002). He has published books and book chapters as well as a great number of scientific papers.

The 2018 Wigner Medal has been awarded to him for his fundamental contribution to the determination and application of symmetries in the resolution of differential and difference equations and (super-) integrable systems.

The medal will be awarded during the 32nd International Colloquium on Group Theoretical methods in Physics (Group 32), July 9 - 13, 2018 in Prague. Professor Winternitz will be a plenary speaker during this event. | Read more

Robert P. Langlands - Abel Prize 2018

The Norwegian Academy of Science and Letters has decided to award the Abel Prize for 2018 to Robert P. Langlands of the Institute for Advanced Study, Princeton, USA "for his visionary program connecting representation theory to number theory." He has been awarded the Abel Prize for his work dating back to January 1967. He was then a 30-year-old. Mr. Langlands was a member of the CRM until 2005 and was the Aisenstadt Chair in 1987. | Read more

Iovita and Radziwill from CICMA at ICM

Two members of the Laboratoire CICMA have been invited to present their work in the number theory section of the International Congress of Mathematicians, which will be held in Rio in 2018: Adrian Iovita (Concordia) and Maksym Radziwill (McGill). Congratulations to Adrian and Maksym on this recognition of their superb research achievements of the past years, which brings credit to the CRM and to the laboratoire CICMA. Several former CICMA postdocs also figure among the roster of invited speakers, notably Fabrizio Andreatta, Kaisa Matomaki, and James Maynard. | The ICM
