The Abel Prize, often referred to as the Nobel Prize of Mathematics, held its award ceremony in Norway, where Professor Masaki Kashiwara, a specially appointed professor at Kyoto University and the first Japanese recipient, emphasized in his speech the importance of creativity, a lesson he learned from his mentor.
アーベル賞はすぐれた業績をあげた数学者にノルウェー政府が贈る国際的な賞で、ことしは代数解析学の分野で「D加群」と呼ばれる理論を構築するなどした京都大学数理解析研究所の柏原正樹特任教授が日本人として初めて選ばれました。
The Abel Prize is an international award presented by the Norwegian government to mathematicians with outstanding achievements. This year, Professor Masaki Kashiwara, a specially appointed professor at the Research Institute for Mathematical Sciences at Kyoto University, was selected as the first Japanese recipient for his work in building the theory known as D-modules in the field of algebraic analysis.
20日、ノルウェーの首都オスロで授賞式が行われ、初めに上映された動画では、柏原特任教授がみずから数学の楽しさに目覚めたきっかけや、今でも数式をノートに手書きして考察を深めていることなどを紹介しました。
On the 20th, an award ceremony was held in Oslo, the capital of Norway. In the video shown at the beginning, Specially Appointed Professor Kashiwabara talked about how he first discovered the joy of mathematics and how he still deepens his thinking by handwriting mathematical formulas in his notebook.
続いて、柏原特任教授が壇上にあがりノルウェーのハラルド国王からガラス製の盾を手渡され、にこやかな表情で握手を交わしました。
Next, Specially Appointed Professor Kashiwabara took the stage, received a glass shield from King Harald of Norway, and exchanged a cheerful handshake with a smile.
柏原特任教授はスピーチで「この賞は50年以上にわたる研究全体に対する評価で、とても光栄です」と喜びを語った上で、恩師である佐藤幹夫氏の名前を挙げ「数学において新しいものを創造することの大切さを教わり、研究人生の重要な指針となった」と振り返りました。
Professor Emeritus Kashiwabara expressed his delight in his speech, saying, I am very honored to receive this award as recognition for over 50 years of research. He also mentioned his mentor, Mikio Sato, reflecting, He taught me the importance of creating new things in mathematics, which became an important guiding principle in my research career.
そして最後に、「私が数学に専念することを可能にし、この受賞につながった」と、共同研究者や妻への感謝を述べると、会場からは大きな拍手が送られました。
And finally, when he expressed his gratitude to his collaborators and his wife, saying that they made it possible for me to devote myself to mathematics and led to this award, the audience gave him a big round of applause.
アーベル賞の主催者は、欧米以外を拠点とする数学者の受賞は2002年の創設以来初めてだとして、今回の受賞をきっかけに数学研究のすそ野がさらに広がってほしいとしています。
The organizers of the Abel Prize stated that this is the first time since its establishment in 2002 that a mathematician based outside of Europe and the United States has received the award, and they hope that this achievement will help further broaden the base of mathematics research.
