Villani has also published articles in Inventiones Mathe maticae, Numerische Mathematik, Mathematische Zeitschrift, Probability and Related Fields. He is also an editor of Inventiones Mathematicae and serves on the board of the Birkhäuser book series, Frontiers in Mathematics.

Ngô Bảo Châu received the Fields Medal for his proof of the Fundamental Lemma in the theory of automorphic forms through the introduction of new algebro-geometric methods. Châu is an Editor-in-Chief for the series Grundlehren der Mathematischen Wissenschaften and has published articles in Publications Mathématiques de L’IHÉS and Inventiones Mathematicae.

Elon Lindenstrauss was awarded the Fields Medal for his results on measure rigidity in ergodic theory, and their applications to number theory. Lindenstrauss has published articles in the following journals: Israel Journal of Mathematics, Journal d’ Analyse Mathematique, Inventiones Mathematicae, Geometric and Functional Analysis, and Selecta Mathematica.

Stanislav Smirnov was honored with the Fields Medal for the proof of conformal invariance of percolation and the planar Ising model in statistical physics. Smirnov has published articles in Inventiones Mathematicae, Letters in Mathematical Physics, Theoretical and Mathe matical Physics, and Probability and Related Fields.

Nevanlinna Prize WinnerDaniel A. Spielmanhas been chosen for the Rolf Nevanlinna Prize for smoothed analysis of linear programming, algorithms for graph-based codes and applications of graph theory to numerical computing. A second major contribution of Spielman is in the area of coding. Spielman has published articles in Mathematical Programming.

Gauss Prize WinnerYves Meyerhas been selected for the Gauss Prize for fundamental contributions to number theory, operator theory and harmonic analysis, and his pivotal role in the development of wavelets and multiresolution analysis. Meyer has published in the Lecture Notes in Mathematics series and in the Journal of Fourier Analysis and Applications.

Chern Prize WinnerLouis Nirenberghas been selected to be the first recipient of the Chern Medal for his role in the formulation of the modern theory of non-linear elliptic partial differential equations and for mentoring numerous students and post-docs in this area. Nirenberg has published articles in Selecta Mathematica, Nonlinear Differential Equations and Applications published by Birkhäuser.
