Javier FERNANDEZ de BOBADILLA at tribute to John Nash

Ø To be held at the Institute for Research in Mathematics, UVA-University of Valladolid, November 9 to 11, 2015 as part of the Science Week 2015

Ø John NASH suffered a mental illness that prevented him from working for 35 years portrayed in the movie 'A Beautiful Mind' (2001) which did not prevent him from being recognized as a genius for his scientific contributions

'The scientific legacy of John NASH' is the name of the activity that proposes three lectures on three research areas in which Nash was specially prominent: game theory, partial differential equations and geometry, an area in which it has had a significant and positive influence in Spain. In fact the "problem of the arches of Nash" has been solved by two Spanish mathematicians: Javier FERNANDEZ de BOBADILLA (who offer the conference on November 11) and Maria Pe PEREIRA, with the results of Ana REGUERA, key in understanding and resolution of the problem.

Javier FERNANDEZ de BOBADILLA closes the tribute activity with his talk 'The work of J. Nash in Geometry' in which explain the results and ideas of Nash in Real Algebraic Geometry and Spaces and Oddities Arches with emphasis on further developments that have led to international research and particularly in Spain.

The rest of the discussions in the cycle from 9 to 11 November, will be in charge of other two prestigious Spanish mathematicians: Ignacio GARCÍA JURADO (professor at the University of La Coruña) who will speak on 'Contributions to the theory John NASH Games' on his concept of Nash equilibrium and negotiation model, and Antonio CÓRDOBA (professor at the Autonomous University of Madrid), who will present the talk 'Minimal surfaces and phase transitions' on the contributions of John NASH and Ennio GIORGI in partial differential equations.

Science Week 2015

The Science Week is an initiative of the European Union which is held each November since 2001 in Spain. Among its objectives it is to bring science to the public of all ages, to encourage a taste for scientific knowledge and encourage the participation of citizens in scientific issues by conducting outreach activities in museums, universities, research centers, technology parks, etc.

Bilbao, November 9, 2015

John NASH (United States, 1928-2015) The only worthy mathematician both the Nobel Prize in Economics in 1994 (along with John Harsanyi and Reinhard Selten for their contributions to game theory), and the Abel Prize in Mathematics (the most important in mathematics prize awarded annually by the Norwegian Academy of Science and Letters) in 2015 with Louis Nirenberg, for his contributions to the theory of differential equations, nonlinear partial and its applications to geometric analysis that solve problems already raised but also incorporate new ideas and methods and open new lines of scientific

Javier FERNANDEZ de BOBADILLA formará parte de homenaje a John NASH

Ø A celebrarse en el Instituto de Investigación en Matemáticas,UVA-University of Valladolid, Noviembre 9 al 11, 2015 como parte de la Semana de la Ciencia 2015

Ø John NASH sufrió una enfermedad mental que le impidió trabajar durante 35 años retratada en la película ‘Una mente maravillosa’ (2001) lo que no le impidió ser reconocido como un genio por sus aportaciones científicas

‘El legado científico de John NASH’, es el nombre de la actividad que propone tres charlas sobre tres de las áreas de investigación en las que Nash destacó de manera especial: la teoría de juegos, las ecuaciones en derivadas parciales y la geometría, área ésta en la cual ha tenido una importante y positiva influencia en España. De hecho el “problema de los arcos de Nash" ha sido resuelto por dos matemáticos españoles: Javier FERNANDEZ de BOBADILLA (quien ofrecerá la conferencia del día 11 de Noviembre) y María Pe PEREIRA, con resultados de Ana REGUERA, claves en la comprensión y resolución del problema.

Javier FERNANDEZ de BOBADILLA cerrará el ciclo de charlas que componen el homenaje con la charla

‘Los trabajos de J. NASH en Geometría’ en la que explicará los resultados y las ideas de NASH en Geometría Algebraica Real y en Espacios de Arcos y Singularidades, poniendo énfasis en los desarrollos posteriores que han derivado en investigación a nivel internacional y particularmente en España.

El resto de las charlas que componen el ciclo del 9 al 11 de Noviembre, estará a cargo de otros dos prestigiosos matemáticos españoles: Ignacio GARCÍA JURADO (catedrático de la Universidad de La Coruña) quien disertará sobre las ‘Contribuciones de John Nash a la teoría de juegos’, sobre su concepto de equilibrio de Nash y su modelo de negociación, y Antonio CÓRDOBA (catedrático de la Universidad Autónoma de Madrid),quien presentará la charla ‘Superficies mínimas y transiciones de fase’ sobre las contribuciones de John NASH y Ennio de GIORGI en ecuaciones en derivadas parciales.

Semana de la Ciencia 2015

La Semana de la Ciencia es una iniciativa de la Unión Europea que se celebra cada mes de noviembre desde 2001 en toda España. Entre sus objetivos está acercar la Ciencia al público de todas las edades, estimular el gusto por el saber científico e incentivar la participación de los ciudadanos en cuestiones científicas mediante la realización de actividades de divulgación en museos, universidades, centros de investigación, parques tecnológicos, etc. 

John NASH (Estados Unidos, 1928-2015) Unico matemático merecedor tanto del Premio Nobel en Economía, en el año 1994 (junto a John Harsanyi y Reinhard Selten por sus aportaciones a la teoría de juegos), como del Premio Abel de Matemáticas (el galardón más importante en Matemáticas otorgado anualmente la Academia Noruega de las Ciencias y las Letras) en el año 2015 junto a Louis Nirenberg, por sus contribuciones a la teoría de ecuaciones en derivadas parciales no lineales y sus aplicaciones al análisis geométrico que resuelven problemas ya planteados pero también incorporan nuevas ideas y métodos y abren nuevas líneas de investigación científica para el bienestar social.
