Peter Scholze: The young mathematician returns to the news

After rejecting the prize of 100,000 dollars won under the figure of the contest Mathematicians Prometodores when he was 27 years old and became, three years earlier, the youngest professor in Germany when he had only 24 years, today the young mathematician Scholze is again news.

Now, Scholze returns to make history in the academic world, and especially in mathematics, when he gets 30 years of age The Fields Medal, a distinction considered equivalent to a Nobel Prize for mathematicians under 40 years.

Accompanying Scholze in the distinction were the Iranian Caucher Birkar, the Australian Akshay Venkatesh and the Italian Alessi Fegalli.

Scholze has dedicated himself to the development of new geometrical structures called the perfect spaces that relates concepts and functionalities of highly differentiated mathematical fields and considered disconnected as for example, quantum physics, algebra, theory of numbers, etc.

Thus, Scholze's perfect spaces have contributed greatly to the development of the Langlands Program which would become the instrument through which one could come and go from the different worlds of mathematics, disconnected until now , in a simple and automatic way.
