The 2011 Dirac Medal and Prize are awarded to Edouard Brézin (École 
Normale Supérieure, Paris, France), John Cardy (University of Oxford, 
Oxford, UK) and Alexander Zamolodchikov (Rutgers University, New Jersey, 
USA) in recognition of their independent pioneering work on field 
theoretical methods to the study of critical phenomena and phase 
transitions; in particular for their significant contributions to 
conformal field theories and integrable systems. Their research and the 
physical implications of their formal developments have had important 
consequences in classical and quantum condensed matter systems and in 
string theory.
