Abstract

The 2023 AMS Review – Sheth Foundation Doctoral Competition for Conceptual Articles attracted 55 entries from across the world. This editorial provides a brief history of the competition, describes the rationale for the competition, and the review and selection process. It offers a brief description of the conceptual contributions of each of the six winners of the competition, and it also lists the six runners-up. It concludes with the co-chairs’ general synthesis of the elements that distinguish a “winning” proposal, and they provide specific advice to entrants of future competitions.
