There are four winners for Fields Medal in 2014. They are:
CNRS, France & IMPA, Brazil
for his profound contributions to dynamical systems theory have changed the face of the field, using the powerful idea of renormalization as a unifying principle.

========================================================================
Princeton University, USA
for developing powerful new methods in the geometry of numbers and applied them to count rings of small rank and to bound the average rank of elliptic curves.
- Geometry of numbers [Encyclopedia of Mathematics]
========================================================================
University of Warwick, UK
for his outstanding contributions to the theory of stochastic partial differential equations, and in particular created a theory of regularity structures for such equations.
========================================================================
Stanford University, USA
for her outstanding contributions to the dynamics and geometry of Riemann surfaces and their moduli spaces.
