The Winners
Half of the prize goes to David Thouless. The rest is shared between Duncan Haldane and Michael Kosterlitz.
A Common Academic Background
Thouless attended Trinity Hall, one of the oldest of the 31 colleges in the UK's Cambridge University, founded by the Bishop Bateman of Norwich in 1350.
Michael attended Gonville and Caius College in Cambridge (alumni are known as "Caians") and Duncan Haldane at Christ's College Cambridge, a relatively modern college having been founded in 1505.
What they are doing now
Duncan Haldane teaches Physics at Princeton University. All three are experts in condensed matter physics.
What is topology very roughly?
Topology is the study of spaces whose properties remain constant under continuous deformation like stretching and bending. It's useful mathematics because its linked to the physical world.
