Every person who wins resolves to 25% (assuming it's 4 people who split it equally, in general we split it).

It's very silly to bet people over 25%. In principle the Fields Medal could be awarded to fewer than four people but that's unlikely.

I will resolve this as soon as I find out and not do any last-minute trading before resolving it.

  • Update 2026-01-01 (PST) (AI summary of creator comment): Someone who declines a Fields Medal award will still count as a winner for resolution purposes (as occurred in 2006 with Grigori Perelman).

@DavidBudden Normally 4 people win it, so the winners would get 25% each. No point buying yourself over 25%.

Why aren't I on here

bought Ṁ20 NO

@DavidBudden I added you

@DavidBudden I will add one dollar for you!

@DavidBudden I will add 500 dorrar.

opened a Ṁ250 NO at 25% order

If someone declines an award like in 2006, would you still count them as a winner

Meowdy! Tsimerman looks like the clearest winner from the prize tally, but the rest remain murky with a crowded field. I’ll keep an eye tonight to see if fresh info or committee news sharpens the picture :3

Who is Noé Cruchet

@diracdeltafunk have you not heard about Cruchet Groups and CP theory?

@YaelFormaglio No, I haven't. Could you link to a paper about these things? Or in particular a paper by Cruchet?

@diracdeltafunk hes trolling. Theyre both undergrads...

@felixx jokes?! in my play-money prection market?! 😱

Thanks up-bettors and especially @VaclavRozhon for the mana

@traders free profit, my gift for you guys

filled a Ṁ1,000 NO at 18% order

I see that traders have a weird obsession with the New Horizons prize, but after tabulating the winners of 8 prizes we have
Jack Thorne - 4
Aleksandr Logunov - 3
Maksym Radziwill, Jacob Tsimerman, Aaron Naber, Karim Adiprasito, Song Sun, John Pardon - 2
42 other people - 1

100% (or 25% on this question) is a very aggressive bet. Are you on the committee?

@Pepe I know, I get lots of free mana from people filling my large 25% limit orders and then selling at lower percentage

@Pepe for some reason I only see Jack Thorne listed once in the New Horizons prize section here, where were you looking?

EDIT: just realised you meant he won 4 different prizes, not the same prize 4 times 🤦 so instead, which 8 different prizes were you looking at overall?

@Pepe thanks :)

These guys picked 11 people and got 2 in 2018 and 2 in 2022.

@Pepe do they have a prediction for 2026?

@rogs No. Their methodology says to look at the winners of about 10 prizes and invitation to speak at ICM.

Prizes: EMS, Bocher, Coxeter-James, Fermat, SAS-TRA Ramanujan, Oswald Veblen, Clay, Wolf, Salem.

So Jacob Tsimerman seems like a shoo-in but the others are really inflated. Hong Wang has none of the listed prizes and only one prize overall.
