At 24\, Scholze became th e youngest full professor in Germany when he took up a teaching post at th e University of Bonn. He was awarded the Fields Medal in 2018 at the age o f 29\, making him one of the youngest medallists in the history of the awa rd.\n\nScholze’s research has great range\, but his work has had particula r impact on arithmetic geometry and its applications. He first gained noti ce as a graduate student for finding proofs to several fundamental theorem s in more compact form. His PhD thesis on perfectoid spaces\, which he cre ated as a unifying concept\, solidified his reputation as “a rare talent t hat only emerges every few decades.”\n\nRecently\, Scholze has been in the news for his astonishing result that established real functional analysis still works if you replace topological spaces with condensed sets\, a pro of he developed in less than a week. Join us for what promises to be an il luminating week of mathematical discovery.\n\nThe 2021 Fields Medal Sympos ium will take place online and will consist of:\n\nPublic Opening Lecture: October 25\, 2021\n Scientific Program: October 25 – 28\, 2021\nThe Public Opening will feature an introduction to Peter Scholze's work by Jared Wei nstein (Boston University)\, a one-on-one chat with Peter and Megumi Harad a (McMaster University)\, and a panel of distinguished mathematicians disc ussing his work. Welcome and introductions will be given by guests from ac ademia and government. Both the Public Opening and Scientific Program are open to the public and free of charge\, but attendees must register before hand. The entire Symposium will be streamed live\, then will be made avail able on our website and YouTube channel at a later date.\n\nRegistration I nstruction: \n\nRegister here to get the link to the live stream. \n\nScie ntific Program\n\nThe 2021 Fields Medal Symposium will honour Peter Scholz e (Fields Medal 2018) and explore the current and potential impact of his work. The Scientific Program is intended for a wide audience\, including g raduate students\, mathematicians in other research areas\, and scientists who use mathematics in an important way.
