Partial Differential Equations, Analysis and Geometry: a Conference in Honor of Sergiu Klainerman’s 75th Birthday
Date: 12 - 16 January 2026
Location: IHES
Event type: Conference
Organisers: Elena Giorgi (Columbia), Markus Keel (Minnesota)
Sergiu Klainerman, Eugene Higgins Professor of Mathematics at Princeton University, has made seminal contributions to nonlinear partial differential equations, analysis, differential geometry, and mathematical general relativity. He pioneered the vector field method for nonlinear wave equations, developed multilinear techniques for low-regularity analysis, and established landmark results on the stability of Minkowski space and Kerr black holes. His work has reshaped PDE, analysis, geometry, and relativity, training and inspiring generations of mathematicians.
This conference will celebrate Sergiu Klainerman’s 75th birthday by bringing together experts to present recent advances in analysis, PDE, geometry, and general relativity, with the aim of fostering interaction across fields and engaging early-career researchers in these exciting developments.
