Thèmes de recherche

During his career as a mathematician Carleson has been influential in several major areas of analysis and dynamical systems.

Carleson has solved many very difficult open problems, the most impressive of these concerns Fourier series. His name is also associated with the solution of the famous corona problem.

Prix et récompenses

He had won numerous prizes : the Leroy Steel Prize from the American Mathematical Society (1984), the Wolf Prize (1992), the Lomonosov Gold Medal from the Russian Academy of Sciences (2002), the Sylvester Medal from the Royal Society, London (2003), and the Abel Prize (2006). He has been awarded honorary doctorates by the University of Helsinki (1982), the University of Paris (1988), the Royal Institute of Technology, Stockholm (1989) and the 2006 Abel Prize “for his profound and seminal contributions to harmonic analysis and the theory of smooth dynamical systems”.
