With him, France always close behind the United States on top of the podium countries distinguished by the Fields Medal, considered the Nobel Prize for mathematics. At 35, the Franco-Brazilian Artur Avila was honored Wednesday, August 13 in Seoul and three other researchers, including Maryam Mirzakhani, the first woman to win a Fields medal.
Twelfth French awarded the Grail mathematics – counting Alexander Grothendieck, stateless but having trained and worked in France – Artur Avila Ngo Bao Chau succeeds and Cédric Villani, French winners of the Fields Medal in 2010, but its contrast with those of his French predecessors course, all are awarded by the Ecole Normale Supérieure of the rue d’Ulm, Paris

DOUBLE FRENCH-BRAZILIAN
Born in Rio de Janeiro, the mathematician began his training in Brazil until his thesis before the complete in France, first at the College France, in the team of Jean-Christophe Yoccoz (Fields Medal 1994) and the CNRS, where he is director of research. He works in Brazil at the National Institute of Pure and Applied Mathematics (IMPA) and in France at the Institute of Mathematics of Jussieu, Paris left bank.
The original course owes much to a specific French disappeared: the cooperation of compulsory military service component. “IMPA has been a breeding ground for scientific collaboration and there has always been French working there, as Jean-Christophe Yoccoz” says Etienne Ghys, research director at the CNRS ENS Lyon, which was also the trip.
In 2006, the Franco-Brazilian partnership is evidenced by the creation of an international joint unit between IMPA and CNRS. “I am doubly Franco-Brazilian by nationality and by math” , has fun Artur Avila
WELCOMED BY HOLLAND AND Valls
The reward the researcher was welcomed by the President of the Republic. For François Hollande, Artur Avila demonstrates “the attractiveness of France in the field of research” and “confirms the role of world-leading French played by mathematics” . The Prime Minister congratulated her “an exceptional young scientist, who embodies the excellence of the French mathematical research” side.
As for his field of study, it accumulates the major results in the field of dynamical systems, whose archetype is the rotation of planets that quickly becomes complex as soon as there are more than two moving bodies. It is, for example, interested in the behavior of balls thrown on rectangular polyhedral billiards or whether they stay together or not. The answer is yes for rectangular or square billiards, but not for most.
