“Frontiers of Science Award” awarded to Alexander Berglund

The article “Rational homotopy theory of automorphism of manifolds”, authored by Alexander Berglund and Ib Madsen, has been awarded a Frontiers of Science Award.

The award was presented at the International Congress of Basic Science in Beijing in July, a congress that brings together participants from all over the world. The Frontiers of Science Award was established in 2023 and is awarded to scientific works in mathematics, theoretical physics, and theoretical computer science that represent significant advances in their respective fields.

Alexander Berglund is a professor of mathematics at Stockholm University. Ib Madsen is a professor emeritus of mathematics at the University of Copenhagen and a foreign member of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences. The article was published in Acta Mathematica 2020 and received a prize in the field of Algebraic and Geometric Topology.
