Richard Lawrence Taylor 2001年に谷山志村予想を証明 2008年に佐藤?Tate予想を証明
が、フィールズ賞は受賞できなかった
４０歳という年齢制限だからだろう
谷山志村佐藤という日本人の名を冠した大予想を解決したにも関わらず。これは残念なことだ
「フィールズ賞＝数学に関する賞では最高の権威を有する」というけれど、４０歳という年齢制限が現実に合わなくなってきている
なぜなら、現代数学では研究の最前線に立つまでに、学ぶべき事柄が増えているから、必然結果を出す年齢も上がらざるを得ない
望月新一もすでに年齢制限に引っかかる
よって、年齢制限を外した新しい最高の賞をつくるべし

Richard Lawrence Taylor (born 19 May 1962)
Work
One of the two papers containing the published proof of Fermat's Last Theorem is a joint work of Taylor and Andrew Wiles.[3]
In subsequent work, Taylor (along with Michael Harris) proved the local Langlands conjectures for GL(n) over a number field.[4] A simpler proof was suggested almost at the same time by Guy Henniart.[5]
Taylor, together with Christophe Breuil, Brian Conrad, and Fred Diamond, completed the proof of the Taniyama?Shimura conjecture, by performing quite heavy technical computations in the case of additive reduction.[6]
Recently, Taylor, following the ideas of Michael Harris and building on his joint work with Laurent Clozel, Michael Harris, and Nick Shepherd-Barron, has announced a proof of the Sato?Tate conjecture, for elliptic curves with non-integral j-invariant.
This partial proof of the Sato?Tate conjecture uses Wiles's theorem about modularity of semistable elliptic curves.[7]
