The Event Horizon Telescope Collaboration
Collaboration Director Shep Doeleman of the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for
Astrophysics will accept on behalf the collaboration. The $3 million prize
will be shared equally with 347 scientists co-authoring any of the six
papers published by the EHT on April 10, 2019.
Citation: For the first image of a supermassive black hole, taken by means
of an Earth-sized alliance of telescopes.
2020 Breakthrough Prize in Mathematics
Alex Eskin, University of Chicago
Citation: For revolutionary discoveries in the dynamics and geometry of
moduli spaces of Abelian differentials, including the proof of the “magic
wand theorem” with Maryam Mirzakhani.
2020 Breakthrough Prize in Life Sciences
Jeffrey M. Friedman,Rockefeller University and Howard Hughes Medical
Institute
Citation: For the discovery of a new endocrine system through which adipose
tissue signals the brain to regulate food intake.
F. Ulrich Hartl, Max Planck Institute of Biochemistry and Arthur L. Horwich,
Yale School of Medicine and Howard Hughes Medical Institute
Citation: For discovering functions of molecular chaperones in mediating
protein folding and preventing protein aggregation.
David Julius, University of California, San Francisco
Citation: For discovering molecules, cells, and mechanisms underlying pain
sensation.
Virginia Man-Yee Lee, University of Pennsylvania
Citation: For discovering TDP43 protein aggregates in frontotemporal
dementia and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, and revealing that different
forms of alpha-synuclein, in different cell types, underlie Parkinson’s
disease and Multiple System Atrophy.
2020 New Horizons in Physics Prize
Xie Chen, California Institute of Technology, Lukasz Fidkowski, University
of Washington, Michael Levin, University of Chicago, and Max A. Metlitski,
Massachusetts Institute of Technology
Citation: For incisive contributions to the understanding of topological
states of matter and the relationships between them.
Jo Dunkley, Princeton University, Samaya Nissanke, University of Amsterdam,
and Kendrick Smith, Perimeter Institute
Citation: For the development of novel techniques to extract fundamental
physics from astronomical data.
Simon Caron-Huot, McGill University, and Pedro Vieira, Perimeter Institute
and ICTP-SAIFR
Citation: For profound contributions to the understanding of quantum field
theory.
2020 New Horizons in Mathematics Prize
Tim Austin, University of California, Los Angeles
Citation: For multiple contributions to ergodic theory, most notably the
solution of the weak Pinsker conjecture.
Emmy Murphy, Northwestern University
Citation: For contributions to symplectic and contact geometry, in
particular the introduction of notions of loose Legendrian submanifolds and,
with Matthew Strom Borman and Yakov Eliashberg, overtwisted contact
structures in higher dimensions.
Xinwen Zhu, California Institute of Technology
Citation: For work in arithmetic algebraic geometry including applications
to the theory of Shimura varieties and the Riemann-Hilbert problem for p-
adic varieties. | Y***i
