The Abel lectures

This year's Abel Prize winner Luis Caffarelli opens the 2023 Abel Prize Lectures with his prize lecture. Then the mathematicians Sylvia Serfaty, Alessio Figalli and Luis Silvestre will follow.

Time: May 24, 2023 at 10:00 - 14:45
Location: University of Oslo, Georg Sverdrups hus, Moltke Moes vei, 0851 Oslo

The lectures are open, the lunch requires registration.

The lectures will be available later on YouTube and on Abelprize.no

Luis A. Caffarelli: "Non-linear and non-local surface structure problems and some of its applications" - abstract:
We introduce non-local fractional diffusion and evolution processes modeling diverse structures in the formation of free boundary problems and diffusion phenomena arising, for instance, from the evolution of energy-partition methods, involving a regularizing mechanism such as local and fractional free energies and convex-like potentials. The applications are abundant in natural sciences and engineering structures, stochastic processes in financial modeling and beyond.
