About Lennart CarlesonA presentation of the Abel Prize Winner 2006 and his contributions by Marcus du Sautoy, University of Oxford.  Lennart Carleson The mark of a great mathematician is someone who not only cracks a big open problem that has defeated previous generations of mathematicians but who then goes on to create tools for future generations. During his career as a mathematician Carleson has been influential in several major areas of analysis and dynamical systems over nearly half a century of mathematical activity. Carleson’s mathematics is characterized by a deep geometric insight combined with an amazing control of the branching complexities of the proofs. His contributions have provided future generations with tools to carry out a systematic study of analysis and dynamical systems. |
