The 2021 Nobel Prize in physics was awarded to Giorgio Parisi ``for the discovery of the interplay of disorder and fluctuations in physical systems from atomic to planetary scales,'' and the 2024 Abel Prize in mathematics was awarded to…

This is a report on the work of Robert Langlands, following his award of the Abel Prize in 2018. It includes his contributions to the general areas of Representation Theory, Automorphic Forms, Number Theory and Arithmetic Geometry. We have…

This article exists first and foremost to contribute to a tribute to Patrick Cattiaux. One of the two authors has known Patrick Cattiaux for a very long time, and owes him a great deal. If we are to illustrate the adage that life is made up…

On 04 October 2022, the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences announced that the Nobel Prize for Physics of 2022 was awarded jointly to Alain Aspect, John Clauser, and Anton Zeilinger "for experiments with entangled photons, establishing the…

This article is a personal overview of the work of Dennis Sullivan who was awarded the 2022 Abel prize. It was commissioned by the Bulletin of the (Indian) Mathematics Consortium, and it will appear there.

The Nobel prize in physics for 2022 was given for performing Bell experiments with varying degree of sophistication. The interpretation of this experiment is discussed by first recalling Bell's simple argument behind his inequalities, in…

This is an exposition of the contributions of L\'aszl\'o Lov\'asz to mathematics and computer science written on the occasion of the bestowal of the Abel Prize~2021 to him. Our survey, of course, cannot be exhaustive. We sketch remarkable…

On the occasion of Elliott Lieb being awarded the Gauss Prize 2022, we give a non-technical overview over some of his seminal works in mathematical physics. We emphasize, in particular, his work on Coulomb many-body systems and functional…

The paper reexamines an argument by Talagrand that leads to a remarkable exponential tail bound for the concentration of probability near a set. The main novelty is the replacement of a mysterious Calculus inequality by an application of…

This article is an account of the scientific work of Hugo Duminil-Copin at the time of his award in 2022 of the Fields Medal "for solving longstanding problems in the probabilistic theory of phase transitions in statistical physics,…

This is the paper "Niels Henrik Abel and the birth of fractional calculus", Podlubny, I., Magin, R. L., Trymorush I., Fractional Calculus and Applied Analysis, vol.20, no.5, pp.1068-1075, 2017 (https://doi.org/10.1515/fca-2017-0057) with…

A conjecture of Talagrand (2010) states that the so-called expectation and fractional expectation thresholds are always within at most some constant factor from each other. Expectation (resp. fractional expectation) threshold $q$ (resp.…

This note reviews the studies of the last decades emphasizing a common principle based on entropy, logarithmic Sobolev inequality and hypercontractivity, behind four most celebrated inequalities by M. Talagrand: the convex distance…

The past decade has seen tremendous progress in our understanding of the behaviour of many probabilistic models at or near their "critical point". On the 5th of July 2022, Hugo Duminil-Copin was awarded the Fields medal for the crucial role…

The 2024 Nobel Prize in Physics was awarded to John Hopfield and Geoffrey Hinton, "for foundational discoveries and inventions that enable machine learning with artificial neural networks." As noted by the Nobel committee, their work moved…

The article is dedicated to recalling the life and mathematics of Louis Nirenberg, a distinguished Canadian mathematician who recently died in New York, where he lived. An emblematic figure of Analysis and Partial Differential Equations in…

A conjecture of Talagrand (2010) states that the so-called expectation and fractional expectation thresholds are always within at most some constant factor from each other. In this note we generalize a method of DeMarco and Kahn and settle…

We show that a restricted version of a conjecture of M. Talagrand on the relation between "expectation thresholds" and "fractional expectation thresholds" follows easily from a strong version of a second conjecture of Talagrand, on…

A conjecture of Talagrand (2010) states that the so-called expectation and fractional expectation thresholds are always within at most some constant factor from each other. We prove for the unweighted case that this is a.a.s. true when the…

A complete discussion of the constraints on the Michel parameters and the ambiguities of their interpretation is presented. Estimators of new physics, optimized for a very wide class of hypotheses and models, are proposed.
