You are most cordially invited to a special ICTP Maths Colloquium on “On the functional equation of automorphic L-functions", by Professor Prof. Ngô Bảo Châu to take place in EULER Lecture Hall at 16:30.

Prof. Châu is a Francis and Rose Yuen Distinguished Service Professor at the Department of Mathematics of the University of Chicago, USA. Ngô Bảo Châu is a Vietnamese-French mathematician at the University of Chicago, best known for proving the fundamental lemma for automorphic forms proposed by Robert Langlands and Diana Shelstad. He is the first Vietnamese national to have received the 2010 Fields Medal “For his proof of the fundamental lemma in the theory of automorphic forms through the introduction of new algebro-geomatric methods". The other winners of the 2010 Fields Medal were: Cédric Villani, professor of mathematics at the ENS (École Normale Supérieure) in Lyon and director of the Institut Henri Poincaré (UPMC/CNRS), Elon Lindenstrauss, professor at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, and Stanislav Smirnov of UNIGE (University of Geneva).
