Congratulations! China, a science superpower! Competition is good, more competition is better! This could be a milestone!
"For the first time, China has produced Fields Medal winners educated on its own soil – and two at once."
"Yu Deng
For his work in partial differential equations, including the rigorous derivation of the Boltzmann equation from hard-sphere dynamics for rarefied gases, the derivation of wave kinetic equations from nonlinear dispersive systems, and probabilistic approaches to nonlinear Schrodinger dynamics."
Hong Wang
For her work in harmonic analysis and geometric measure theory, including applications of multiscale and decoupling techniques to the local smoothing conjecture for the planar wave equation, and major advances in Fourier restriction, Falconer distance sets, Furstenberg sets in the plane, and the Kakeya problem in three dimensions."
Living Fully in the Math World Means Threading the Needle "Focus, commitment, and insight resulted in a “once in a century” proof. Hong Wang is now just the third woman to win a Fields Medal" (Caveat: I did not read the article)
Amid Life’s Chaos, a Meticulous Mathematician Finds Stability "Before he won a Fields Medal for his pioneering work balancing randomness and order, Yu Deng had to achieve equilibrium in his own life." (Caveat: I did not read the article)
