2004, jointly to Sir Michael Francis Atiyah, University of Edinburgh and Isadore M.
Singer, Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
Atiyah and Singer will receive the prize "for their discovery and proof of the index theorem,
bringing together topology, geometry and analysis, and their outstanding role in building
new bridges between mathematics and theoretical physics." A news release is available here.
