“Acceptance Speech” Frontiers of Knowledge Award 2022 in Basic Sciences

Acceptance speech by Charles Fefferman, winner of the 2022 Frontiers of Knowledge Award in Basic Sciences, who was honored alongside Jean-François Le Gall for their fundamental contributions to mathematical analysis and probability theory. Fefferman’s research has introduced groundbreaking techniques to study the properties of functions and the solutions of differential equations, with applications in fields such as fluid mechanics, quantum physics and the study of new materials.

Fefferman highlights the importance of scientific collaboration and his close relationship with the Spanish mathematical community, developed over decades of research and mentoring. He particularly recalls the connections established with mathematicians who studied and worked with him in the United States, as well as subsequent collaborations that led to further advances. His career illustrates the value
