2019 Sacks Prize
The ASL Committee on Prizes and Awards has selected Gabriel Goldberg of Harvard University to receive the 2019 Sacks Prize. The prize consists of a cash award and five years membership in the ASL.
Goldberg received his Ph.D. in 2019 at Harvard University under the supervision of W. Hugh Woodin. In his thesis, “The Ultrapower Axiom”, he isolates and develops a powerful new structural hypothesis for inner models of set theory. The Ultrapower Axiom holds in all inner models built using the current methodology. On the other hand, Goldberg shows it has sweeping structural consequences: the linearity of the Mitchell order on countably complete ultrafilters, a characterization of strong compactness in terms of supercompactness, and GCH above a strongly compact cardinal. The Prize Committee noted the transformational quality of Goldberg’s thesis work within the Inner Model Program.
