Ph D alumnus Wigderson receives Abel Prize

Liz Fuller-Wright, Office of Communications March 17, 2021 4:55 p.m. Avi Wigderson Photo by Dan Komoda, Institute for Advanced Study The Norwegian Academy of Science and Letters has awarded the Abel Prize for 2021 to Avi Wigderson, a 1983 Ph.D. graduate of Princeton in electrical engineering and computer science, now on the faculty of the Institute for Advanced Study. He shares the prize with László Lovász of the Alfréd Rényi Institute of Mathematics and Eötvös Loránd University in Budapest, Hungary. The award cites “their foundational contributions to theoretical computer science and discrete mathematics, and their leading role in shaping them into central fields of modern mathematics.”

Samuel Velasco/Quanta Magazine Mathematicians have long been interested in quantifying and classifying various properties of these curves. The most prominent result to date is Andrew Wiles’ famed 1994 proof of Fermat’s Last Theorem, a question about which equations have solutions that are whole numbers. The proof relied heavily on the study of elliptic curves. In general, mathematicians focus on elliptic curves because they occupy the sweet spot of inquiry: They’re not easy enough to be trivial and not so hard that they’re impossible to study. “Elliptic curves are still mysterious enough that they’re generating new math all the time,” said Matt Baker, a mathematician at the Georgia Institute of Technology.
