Like the Nobel Prize, the Abel Prize comes with a substantial monetary award -- approximately $875,000. "The Atiyah-Singer index theorem is one of the landmark results of twentieth century mathematics ...

This became their famous Atiyah-Singer Index Theorem, which they developed into an entire field, called index theory. “It’s a bit of black magic,” Dr. Atiyah said in 2015, “to figure ...

This is the power of Atiyah. Roughly speaking, he has spent the first half of his career connecting mathematics to mathematics, and the second half connecting mathematics to physics. In the 1980s, ...

The discovery and proof of index theory has won Professor Michael Atiyah from the University of Edinburgh and Professor Isadore Singer from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology the Abel Prize ...

Despite Michael Atiyah’s many accolades—he is a winner ... In the 1980s, methods gleaned from the index theorem unexpectedly played a role in the development of string theory—an attempt ...
