The correct answer is 1, 3, 4.

Gabor Szego prize:

• The Society of Industrial and Applied Mathematics (SIAM) Activity Group on Orthogonal Polynomials and Special Functions, USA awards the Gábor Szego Prize. Hence, statement 1 is correct.
• It is awarded after every two years to an early-career researcher for outstanding research contributions in the area of orthogonal polynomials and special functions. Hence, statement 2 is incorrect while 3 is correct.
• The prize can only be awarded to a researcher who has at most 10 years of involvement in mathematics since PhD at the award date.
• No cash Prize.
• In 2021, Atul Dixit of India has been conferred with the award.
