Gerd Faltings' colleges and “partners in crime” tricked him into a “meeting”. Watch the reaction when mathematician Gerd Faltings realizes that he will be awarded the #AbelPrize in Oslo in May.

We congratulate Gerd Faltings as the 2026 Abel Prize laureate! 🎉 He recives the Abel Prize "for introducing powerful tools in arithmetic geometry and resolving long-standing diophantine conjectures of Mordell and Lang".
