Sébastien Boucksom
Sébastien Boucksom (born 26 August 1976 in Roubaix) is a French mathematician. Boucksom studied at the École normale supérieure de Lyon from 1996 to 1999, when he qualified with his agrégation in mathematics. He received his doctorate in 2002 from the Institut Fourier of the Université Grenoble Alpes with thesis ''Cônes positifs des variétés complexes compactes'' under the supervision of Jean-Pierre Demailly. As a postdoc Boucksom studied with Simon Donaldson at Imperial College London. From 2003 he did research for the CNRS at the Institut de Mathématiques de Jussieu of the CNRS and the University of Paris VI. Since 2010 he has been a part-time professor at the École Polytechnique and since 2014 a directeur de recherche of the CNRS at the Center de Mathématiques Laurent Schwartz of the École Polytechnique. Boucksom's research deals with algebraic geometry, geometry of ''p''-adic algebraic varieties, and Kähler manifolds. Ideas introduced by Boucksom and collaborator ...

Roubaix
Roubaix ( or ; nl, Robaais; vls, Roboais) is a city in northern France, located in the Lille metropolitan area on the Belgian border. It is a historically mono-industrial commune in the Nord department, which grew rapidly in the 19th century from its textile industries, with most of the same characteristic features as those of English and American boom towns. This former new town has faced many challenges linked to deindustrialisation such as urban decay, with their related economic and social implications, since its major industries fell into decline by the middle of the 1970s. Located to the northeast of Lille, adjacent to Tourcoing, Roubaix is the chef-lieu of two cantons and the third largest city in the French region of Hauts-de-France ranked by population with nearly 99,000 inhabitants.

Academic Staff Of École Polytechnique
An academy (Attic Greek: Ἀκαδήμεια; Koine Greek Ἀκαδημία) is an institution of secondary or tertiary higher learning (and generally also research or honorary membership). The name traces back to Plato's school of philosophy, founded approximately 385 BC at Akademia, a sanctuary of Athena, the goddess of wisdom and skill, north of Athens, Greece. Etymology The word comes from the ''Academy'' in ancient Greece, which derives from the Athenian hero, ''Akademos''. Outside the city walls of Athens, the gymnasium was made famous by Plato as a center of learning. The sacred space, dedicated to the goddess of wisdom, Athena, had formerly been an olive grove, hence the expression "the groves of Academe". In these gardens, the philosopher Plato conversed with followers. Plato developed his sessions into a method of teaching philosophy and in 387 BC, established what is known today as the Old Academy. By extension, ''academia'' has come to mean the accumulation, dev ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

21st-century French Mathematicians
The 1st century was the century spanning AD 1 ( I) through AD 100 ( C) according to the Julian calendar. It is often written as the or to distinguish it from the 1st century BC (or BCE) which preceded it. The 1st century is considered part of the Classical era, epoch, or historical period. The 1st century also saw the appearance of Christianity. During this period, Europe, North Africa and the Near East fell under increasing domination by the Roman Empire, which continued expanding, most notably conquering Britain under the emperor Claudius ( AD 43). The reforms introduced by Augustus during his long reign stabilized the empire after the turmoil of the previous century's civil wars. Later in the century the Julio-Claudian dynasty, which had been founded by Augustus, came to an end with the suicide of Nero in AD 68. There followed the famous Year of Four Emperors, a brief period of civil war and instability, which was finally brought to an end by Vespasian, ninth Roman emper ...

International Congress Of Mathematicians
The International Congress of Mathematicians (ICM) is the largest conference for the topic of mathematics. It meets once every four years, hosted by the International Mathematical Union (IMU). The Fields Medals, the Nevanlinna Prize (to be renamed as the IMU Abacus Medal), the Carl Friedrich Gauss Prize, Gauss Prize, and the Chern Medal are awarded during the congress's opening ceremony. Each congress is memorialized by a printed set of Proceedings recording academic papers based on invited talks intended to be relevant to current topics of general interest. Being List of International Congresses of Mathematicians Plenary and Invited Speakers, invited to talk at the ICM has been called "the equivalent ... of an induction to a hall of fame". History Felix Klein and Georg Cantor are credited with putting forward the idea of an international congress of mathematicians in the 1890s.A.

Smale's Problems
Smale's problems are a list of eighteen unsolved problems in mathematics proposed by Steve Smale in 1998 and republished in 1999. Smale composed this list in reply to a request from Vladimir Arnold, then vice-president of the International Mathematical Union, who asked several mathematicians to propose a list of problems for the 21st century. Arnold's inspiration came from the list of Hilbert's problems that had been published at the beginning of the 20th century. Table of problems In later versions, Smale also listed three additional problems, "that don't seem important enough to merit a place on our main list, but it would still be nice to solve them:" # Mean value problem #Is the three-sphere a minimal set ( Gottschalk's conjecture)? #Is an Anosov diffeomorphism of a compact manifold topologically the same as the Lie group model of John Franks? See also * Millennium Prize Problems * Simon problems In mathematics, the Simon problems (or Simon's problems) are a series ...

Fekete Problem
In mathematics, the Fekete problem is, given a natural number ''N'' and a real ''s'' ≥ 0, to find the points ''x''1,...,''x''''N'' on the 2-sphere for which the ''s''-energy, defined by : \sum_ \, x_i - x_j \, ^ for ''s'' > 0 and by : \sum_ \log \, x_i - x_j \, ^ for ''s'' = 0, is minimal. For ''s'' > 0, such points are called ''s''-''Fekete points'', and for ''s'' = 0, ''logarithmic Fekete points'' (see ). More generally, one can consider the same problem on the ''d''-dimensional sphere, or on a Riemannian manifold (in which case , , ''x''''i'' −''x''''j'', , is replaced with the Riemannian distance between ''x''''i'' and ''x''''j''). The problem originated in the paper by who considered the one-dimensional, ''s'' = 0 case, answering a question of Issai Schur. An algorithmic version of the Fekete problem is number 7 on the list of problems discussed by . References * * * *{{Citation , last1=Smale , ...
