A young Indian
mathematician, Nikhil Srivastava, has been named a joint winner of the
prestigious George Polya Prize for finding proof of a riddle that had eluded
mathematicians for more than half a century.
Srivastava of Microsoft Research India and Adam W. Marcus and
Daniel A. Spielman from Yale University will be presented the 2014 George
PA³lya Prize at the July 7-11annual meeting of the Society for Industrial and
Applied Mathematics (SIAM), in Chicago.
The trio had announced the proof of what is known as the
Kadison-Singer conjecture, first proposed by Richard Kadison and Isadore Singer
in 1959, pertaining to the mathematical foundations of quantum mechanics about
a year ago.
