Profesor Adrian Langer z Wydziału Matematyki, Informatyki i Mechaniki Uniwersytetu Warszawskiego oraz Instytutu Matematycznego PAN otrzymał tegoroczną Nagrodę Naukową Instytutu Matematycznego PAN za wybitne osiągnięcia w geometrii algebraicznej. Wręczenie Nagrody odbędzie się w dniu 18 czerwca 2015 roku (czwartek) o godz. 16:30,  w sali 409 (IV piętro) w siedzibie IM PAN w Warszawie, ul. Śniadeckich 8.
Po uroczystości wręczenia, o godz. 17:00, w sali 321 (III p. IM PAN),  laureat wygłosi wykład zatytułowany On impossibility and unimportance of solving differential equations (and applications of these facts in algebraic geometry).

Streszczenie wykładu:
Most of mathematicians are known to like solving various equations, including differential equations. However, they rarely manage to solve any differential equations. Even when they do manage to find some solutions, it is exceptionally seldom that the result is interesting to anyone. Often it is much more interesting to prove that solutions exist and have some special properties or that the problem of finding them can be replaced by another problem. During the talk I will show a few examples when one of these phenomena occurs (or should occur) in differential equations related to algebraic geometry. Examples will include existence of algebraic solutions of linear systems of differential equations (the Grothendieck-Katz conjecture), solutions to Hitchin's equations and applications of these type of questions to elementary geometric problems.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                       Adrian Langer
