James Arthur, University of Toronto (Canada), is the winner of the 2015 Wolf
Prize in Mathematics "for his monumental work on the trace formula and his
fundamental contributions to the theory of automorphic representations of
reductive groups." The citation states that "Arthur's ideas, achievements
and the techniques he introduced will have many more deep applications in
the theory of automorphic representations, and the study of locally
symmetric spaces. Arthur's work is a mathematical landmark that will inspire
future generations of mathematicians."
Arthur received his PhD from Yale University in 1970, and has taught at the
University of Toronto since 1979. Arthur has achieved many distinctions in
his career, including being a Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada and the
Royal Society of London, and member of the American Academy of Arts and
Sciences. In 1999 he received the Canada Gold Medal for Science and
Engineering from the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of
Canada, making him the only mathematician to have won Canada's top award in
science. Arthur has been an invited speaker at the International Congress of
Mathematicians three times and was invited to give an address at the 2005
Abel Prize Celebration in honor of award winner Peter Lax. Arthur served as
president of the AMS 2005-2006, was elected to the U.S. National Academy of
Sciences in 2014, and is a Fellow of the AMS. The Wolf Prize Laureates
receive their awards from the President of the State of Israel. The prize
presentation takes place at a special ceremony at the Knesset Building (
Israel's Parliament), in Jerusalem.
