Monday, March 10 2025, 4 - 5pm MLC 0148 Larry Guth Claude E. Shannon Professor of Mathematics MIT Larry Guth is a Claude E. Shannon Professor of Mathematics at MIT. He is a member of the US National Academy of Sciences and has made significant contributions to metric geometry, harmonic analysis, extremal combinatorics, and number theory. He has received multiple international prizes, which point to his broad contributions to mathematics: The Salem Prize in Mathematics, for outstanding contributions to analysis; the New Horizons in Mathematics Prize "for ingenious and surprising solutions to long standing open problems in symplectic geometry, Riemannian geometry, harmonic analysis, and combinatorial geometry”; the Bôcher Memorial Prize of the AMS, for his “deep and influential development of algebraic and topological methods for partitioning the Euclidean space and multi-scale organization of data, and his powerful applications of these tools in harmonic analysis, incidence geometry, analytic number theory, and partial differential equations”; and the Maryam Mirzakhani Prize in Mathematics (formerly the NAS Award in Mathematics), “for developing surprising, original, and deep connections between geometry, analysis, topology, and combinatorics, which have led to the solution of, or major advances on, many outstanding problems in these fields.” He received a Sloan Fellowship in 2010 and gave an Invited Address (geometry section) at the International Congress of Mathematicians; and a Plenary Address at the 2022 International Congress of Mathematicians.
