2025 Shaw Prize Laureate in Mathematical Sciences, Kenji Fukaya
https://www.springernature.com/.../20251021.../27821726
Congratulations!
Kenji Fukaya receives the 2025 Shaw Prize for his pioneering work on symplectic geometry, especially for envisioning the existence of a category — nowadays called the Fukaya category — consisting of Lagrangians on a symplectic manifold, for leading the monumental task of constructing it, and for his subsequent ground-breaking and impactful contributions to symplectic topology, mirror symmetry, and gauge theory. The prize is endowed with 1.2 million US dollars and has been awarded on 21 October in Hong Kong.
