The reporter learned from the International Mathematical Alliance Organizing Committee that on July 5, the "Phils Award" was announced at the University of Hernesie Alto, Finland on July 5th. Four young mathematicians who won the awards were:

Hugo Duminil-Copin, a professor at the University of Geneva/French Higher Science Institute, "commended the problem of the medium and long-term problems in the theory of the theory of phase change probability in statistical physics, especially in the three-dimensional and four-dimensional aspect."

June Huh, the U.S. Princeton High Research Institute, "commending its thoughts of Hodch's theory into a combination, proved the geometry Dowling – Wilson conjecture, proved the array Heron – Rota – Welsh conjecture and developed Lorenz polynomas. And prove the guess of Johnson. "

James Maynard, a professor at Oxford University in the United Kingdom, commended its contribution to the theory of analytical numbers and made significant progress in understanding the structure of the prime number and the loss. "

Maryna Viazovska, a professor at the Lausanne Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne Switzerland.

The Phils Award is awarded at the International Mathematical Conference every four years to recognize mathematicians under the age of 40 who may achieve outstanding mathematical achievements in the present and in the future.

Tsinghua University professor Qiu Chengtong became the first Fields Award Chinese winner in 1982. Australian Chinese Tao Zhexuan won the Phils Award in 2006.

Born in 1985, he graduated from High School in 2005 with MPSI and MP*(preparatory classes) in Louol Graograd High School in Paris. In 2007, he graduated from the 11th University of Paris and studied PhD and postdoctoral at the University of Geneva from 2008 to 2012. French Academy of International Institute of Higher Sciences.

He has won the 2012 CONSTANTIN Prize, the Rollo Davidson Prize in 2012, the 2016 European Mathematical Society Award, the 2016 Mathematical New Vision Award, the 2017 Loève International Probability Award and other " Youth "Grand Prize.

Hugo Duminil-Copin is a probability theory researcher. His work focuses on the mathematical branch of statistical physics. He uses the idea of probability theory to study the critical behaviors of various network models, such as the Issin model, POTTS, the Self-Avoiding Walks model and the Percolation model. These mathematical objects reconstruct some physical phenomena through random trajectory, gathering or graphics, thereby describing these physical phenomena, such as magnetization, polymer, and material pore rate.

By establishing new connections between these models and developing related infiltration theories, Hugo Duminil-Copin has achieved significant results in these classic models and its phase changes, and improves the understanding of critical phenomena in statistical physics in the state of equilibrium.

Born in California, USA in 1983, Korean and American. He obtained a doctorate at the University of Michigan in 2014. He has won the 2019 Mathematics New Vision Award, the 2018 International Congress of the International Mathematics Conference, and the 2017 Blavanik National Youth Scientist Award.

June Huh is a "half -way monk" mathematician. In his youth, mathematics performance was unsatisfactory. He thought he had no talent for mathematics. He loved literature the most, wrote poetry, novels, and dream of becoming a poet. However, when studying at Seoul University, he found that the poet's identity could not make a living, so he planned to be a scientific journalist to study astronomy and physics.

In his 24 -year -old senior year, his life turned to a turn. At that time, the "Phils Award" winner Guangzhong Pingyou visited Seoul University and opened a generation algebraic geometry class. June Huh believes that the "celebrity" can be the first topic of scientific reporters.

With the deepening of the course, more than 100 students have gradually withdrawn the class because of the difficulty of the course, but June Huh has been staying. "The students in the Department of Mathematics have retired because they don't understand anything. However, there are different standards for students in the Department of Mathematics to understand something. Simple examples in the classroom are good enough for me. "After the class, he took the initiative to communicate with Pingyou in Guangzhong and eat lunch together. More and more intimate. From the beginning of the "non -mathematics" exchanges, to Pingyou, Guangzhong, they began to coach him with mathematics -from the examples that could understand, rather than introduce general theories directly.

This has formed a deep affection for the forgotten year of forgetfulness. Later, June Huh simply followed Guangzhong Pingyou to study graduate students.

In 2009, he graduated from graduate student, and Pingyou, Guangzhong, persuaded him to go to a university in the United States to study another graduate degree. However, due to June Huh's non -mathematics undergraduate, despite the recommendation of Guangzhong and Pingyou, more than a dozen graduate schools in the United States have rejected his application. In the end, only the unknown of the University of Illinois's champagne is willing to accept June Huh's application, and he has since embarked on the road to mathematical research. Since then, June HUH has spent 6 years, completing a proof of Rota conjecture that is very important in the mathematical world. James maynard

Born in 1987. Parents are language teachers, and brothers learn history. He obtained a doctorate from Oxford University. His research focuses on using the tools of analytical theory, especially the screening method to study prime numbers.

Maynard's personality has the firmness of "one without doing,", he said, "I must be fascinated by something, otherwise I will give up completely." His father also said, "Once Maynard is for a certain discipline Interesting, often do not stop before reaching the limit of ability. "

Maynard seems to be a "rebel" of traditional education. During middle school, his physics teacher gave the scoring standard: there was no process or unit, and only one -third of the score could be obtained. As a protest, Maynard wrote all the correct but not proved procedures, which only got 33%of the score.

In 2013, as a doctoral student, his mentor warned him not to study the "quality problem" because he would definitely fail! The 26 -year -old Maynard shrugged and told the instructor: "Let me try it and see where it can take me." In the end, he perfectly solved the problem. "For the centuries, for centuries, the mathematicians have been troubled by mathematicians for centuries The quality of quality has opened a way. "

"Why not try it?" It was the first reaction when Maynard faced interests. For him, "one problem, it is simple and basic, but it is completely mysterious. The contrast between this is very very attractive to me. ","

Maryna viazovska

Born in Ukraine in 1984. He graduated from the Department of Mathematics at the University of Kyiv, a master's degree graduated from the Kaisus Lawnon University of Institute of Technology in Germany, and graduated from the Institute of Mabu Mathematics, the University of Bon. In 2016, she solved the problem of ball accumulation in the dimension 8 and cooperated with others to solve the problem of sphere stacking in the dimension 24.

He has won international awards such as the Selham Award, Mathematics Award, Ferma Award and other international awards. She is also an invited reporter of the 2022 World Female Mathematics Conference.

Her mathematics teacher Andrii KNYAZYUK was a professional mathematician at the Institute of Mathematics of the Ukrainian Academy of Sciences. From him, Viazovska won the fun of learning mathematics. At the age of 14, because of her presented mathematical performance, she was selected into the Kyiv's school Kiefu Natural Science and Cultural Palace, which specializes in cultivating natural scientific talents.

Maryna Viazovska became the second female mathematician who won the Phils Award.

In 2014, Maryam Mirzakhani, a 37 -year -old Iranian mathematician, won the Phils Award and became the first woman in history to win this award. Unfortunately, in 2017, Milzhani died in the United States for breast cancer at the age of 40.
