1. Henri Poincare Prize 2006


2. General Assembly

1. Henri Poincare Prize will be at the forthcoming ICMP awarded to Ludvig Faddeev, David Ruelle, and Edward Witten, with the following citations:
   
   
   • Ludvig Faddeev has contributed many deep and important results to the theory of quantum fields, quantization of non-commutative gauge theories, scattering in quantum mechanics and quantum field theory, and the theory of integrable systems.
   • David Ruelle is honored for his outstanding contributions to quantum field theory, both classical and quantum statistical mechanics, and dynamical systems theory.
   • Edward Witten's work on string theory laid down the foundation of this subject. His work has been most influential and inspiring also in mathematical subdisciplines like geometry and topology.

2. General Assembly of IAMP will meet during the ICMP in Rio. The statutes require the agenda to be announced four months in advance. Although the period was set in the pre-electronic age, it is nevertheless desirable to collect the questions to be discussed in our spring bulletin. We encourage  therefore all the members to communicate their proposals to any of the IAMP officers.
