The Galois Group
Bảo Châu Ngô
Fields Medal 2010

The emergence of the Galois group was an essential milestone in the history of mathematics. I will survey how this crucial mathematical concept springs from the search for solutions to polynomial equations and its impact on the development of number theory until today.

The 11th Heidelberg Laureate Forum took place from September 22–27, 2024. #HLF24

The Heidelberg Laureate Forum (HLF) is an annual networking conference where 200 carefully selected young researchers in mathematics and computer science spend a week interacting with the laureates of the most prestigious awards in their disciplines: the Abel Prize, ACM A.M. Turing Award, ACM Prize in Computing, Fields Medal, IMU Abacus Medal and Nevanlinna Prize.
