Laureatem za rok 2011 został
Sir William T. Gowers.
Laureat wygłosił referat:
Combinatorial theorems in sparse random sets.
Abstract: In recent years much attention has been given to the general problem of finding analogues of well-known combinatorial theorems where the ground set is not a structured set such as a complete graph but a sparse random subset of such a set. I shall talk about a general method of proving such analogues, and about the critical role that the Hahn-Banach theorem plays in this method. The results are joint work with David Conlon.
