- 2026 Fields Medal Winners List Leaked, Includes Two Peking University Alumni
The list of 2026 Fields Medal winners has been inadvertently leaked, revealing that Peking University alumni Hong Wang and Yu Deng are among the recipients. This marks a historic moment as it is the first time two Chinese mathematicians will receive the prestigious award in the same edition. The leak occurred when four Fields Medal laureate lecture fields, marked “HIDDEN,” were discovered in the front-end code of the ICM 2026 official schedule. A curl command generated by Codex revealed the names Yu Deng, John Pardon, Jacob Tsimerman, and Hong Wang. If confirmed on July 23, this will be a significant milestone for Chinese mathematics. Notably, Hong Wang will become the third female mathematician in history to receive the Fields Medal, further highlighting the groundbreaking nature of this achievement.
