program Description
The Chevalley Prize is awarded for notable work in Lie Theory published during the preceding six years; a recipient should be at most twenty-five years past the Ph.D.About this Prize
The Chevalley Prize was established in 2014 by George Lusztig to honor Claude Chevalley (1909-1984). Chevalley was a founding member of the Bourbaki group. He made fundamental contributions to class field theory, algebraic geometry, and group theory. His three-volume treatise on Lie groups served as standard reference for many decades. His classification of semisimple groups over an arbitrary algebraically closed field provides a link between Lie's Theory of Continuous Groups and the Theory of Finite Groups, to the enormous enrichment of both subjects.
The current prize amount is US$8000, awarded in even-numbered years, without restriction on society membership, citizenship, or venue of publication.
