AI-generated summary
The Fields Medal is considered the Nobel Prize of mathematics. The Ambrosetti Medal honors the memory of the Italian mathematician Antonio Ambrosetti.
Researchers Hong Wang and Yu Deng have been awarded the Fields Medal, the most prestigious international award for mathematicians under 40. The award follows a year later the awarding of the Ambrosetti Medal, in 2025, by Sissa, intended for young emerging scholars in the field of non-linear analysis. The awarding of the Fields Medals was announced at the opening ceremony of the World Congress of Mathematicians (ICM 2026) in Philadelphia. Promoted by Sissa, with the support of the Scuola Normale Superiore of Pisa, the Accademia Nazionale dei Lincei and the Unione Matematica Italiana, and thanks to the support of the Pietro Pittini Foundation, the Ambrosetti Medal honors the memory of Antonio Ambrosetti, a key figure in Italian mathematical analysis. In the 2025 edition the Ambrosetti Medal was awarded to Yu Deng, Riccardo Montalto and Hong Wang. For Massimiliano Berti of Sissa, "this achievement testifies, once again, to the very high international visibility that the award has already achieved. We believe that this is the most beautiful way to honor the memory of Antonio Ambrosetti". The president of the Pietro Pittini Foundation, Marina Pittini, added that "supporting the Ambrosetti Medal means for us valorising scientific excellence and, at the same time, investing in the future. Our collaboration arises from the shared desire to promote an ever greater diffusion of scientific culture".
