About the André Lichnerowicz prize in Poisson geometry
The André Lichnerowicz prize was established in 2008 to be awarded for
notable contributions to Poisson geometry. The prize is to be awarded every
two years at the International Conference on Poisson Geometry in Mathematics
and Physics" to researchers who had completed their doctorates at most
eight years before the year of the Conference.
The prize was named in memory of André Lichnerowicz (1915-1998) whose work
was fundamental in establishing Poisson geometry as a branch of mathematics.
In 2010, it was awarded by a jury composed of the members of the scienti c
and advisory committees of the biennial Poisson Conference. The prize amount
was 500 euros for each recipient and the funds were provided by the host
institution of the Conference, the Instituto Nacional de Matematica Pura e
Aplicada (IMPA), Rio de Janeiro.

The prize for the year 2010 was awarded to Marco Gualtieri and Xiang Tang on
July 26, 2010 at IMPA in Rio de Janeiro. Marco Gualtieri received his
doctorate at Oxford University in 2004 under the direction of Nigel Hitchin.
After holding post-doctoral positions at MSRI, Berkeley, at the Fields
Institute in Toronto and at MIT, he joined the Department of Mathematics at
the University of Toronto, where he is an assistant professor. His
pioneering work on generalized geometry has been the source of inspiration
for many related studies. Already in his Ph. D. thesis he developed the
basic structure theory of generalized complex geometry as well as of
generalized Kahler geometry. Since then he has been studying generalized
geometry and its applications to physics independently and in collaboration
with Gil Cavalcanti, Henrique Bursztyn and Vestislav Apostolov. More
recently, he has studied D-branes in generalized complex manifolds and their
relation to noncommutative geometry, as well as further generalizations of
classical geometries.
Xiang Tang completed his Ph.D. in mathematics at the University of
California at Berkeley in 2004 under the direction of Alan Weinstein. He
subsequently held a post-doctoral position at the University of California
Davis, before becoming an assistant professor at Washington University in
Saint Louis. A primary focus of his work has been on index theorems on
singular spaces, where he uses the tools of noncommutative geometry (cyclic
cohomology, K-theory, the general index theorems of Connes-Moscovici and
Nest-Tsygan) in combination with algebraic and geometric structures arising
from Poisson geometry. Among his important contributions, independently and
in collaboration, are a new proof of the Atiyah-Weinstein conjecture on the
index of Fourier integral operators and the relative index of CR structures,
the study of non-commutative Poisson structures on orbifolds, the study of
various Hopf-like structures and the index theory on orbifolds. | g*******n

我和唐翔一起去爬司马台长城。到了顶我们都很激动：
不到长城非好汉。
在北京四年，终于好汉了。
下山的时候，唐翔跟我提议来美之前下一个旅游地：
我们下周去颐和园吧！
