The announcement of the Fields medals is officially made at the time of the International Congress of Mathematicians, which this year will be in Madrid in August.  A few months before the Congress generally there are solid rumors circulating in the math community about who the winners will be.  If Lubos is right (and while I don&#8217;t know his source, this agrees with <a href=\"http:\/\/www.math.columbia.edu\/~woit\/wordpress\/?p=267\">earlier speculation<\/a>), the blogosphere will be responsible for a much earlier spread of rumors about this than usual.<\/p>\n<p><b>Update<\/b>: Lubos&#8217;s posting just disappeared.  So, maybe this rumor is not right, or maybe it is, but whoever he got it from didn&#8217;t want it spread so publicly.  His posting has been replaced with the comment &#8220;I removed information about a certain medal that was far too preliminary.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lubos Motl has a posting announcing that Terence Tao will be one of the 2006 Fields Medalists.
