Sir Simon Kirwan Donaldson FRS (born 20 August 1957) is an English mathematician known for his work on the topology of smooth (differentiable) four-dimensional manifolds, Donaldson–Thomas theory, and his contributions to Kähler geometry.
Simon Kirwan Donaldson (Cambridge, 20 agosto 1957) è un matematico britannico. A soli 29 anni, ha vinto nel 1986 una Medaglia Fields per i suoi contributi nella topologia della dimensione bassa, in particolare nello studio delle varietà differenziabili di dimensione 4.

Simon Donaldson has transformed our understanding of four-dimensional shapes, showing which ones can be “tamed” with the kind of equations that mathematicians can solve, and which can’t. In the process, he both provided powerful new tools for physicists and incorporated new ideas from physics into mathematics.
24 giu 2014 · Professor Sir Simon Donaldson is one of five winners of a major new mathematics prize, co-funded by Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg. Professor Donaldson, from the Department of Mathematics, was recognised for his work in differential geometry, which uses calculus to study curved spaces.
Simon Donaldson conducts research in geometry and topology. As a research student he proved what is known as the diagonalizability theorem, going on to open up a whole new area in four-dimensional geometry.
