Shai Evra bags Sastra Ramanujan prize.
The 2020 Sastra Ramanujan Prize will be awarded to Dr Shai Evra of Princeton University, USA, and the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Israel. The prize is awarded for outstanding contributions by individuals below 32 years of age (Srinavasa Ramanujan died at that age) in mathematics influenced by the genius in a broad sense.
Though the prize is awarded annually at an international conference during December 21-22 at Sastra University in Kumbakonam, Evra will receive the prize in 2021 at a suitable date, a university release said.
Shai Evra was chosen for his outstanding work on high dimensional expanders in the area of combinatorial and geometric topology, and on “Golden Gates” for three dimensional unitary groups. The prize notes that he employs deep results from representation theory and number theory pertaining to the Generalized Ramanujan Conjectures.
