Postcard from Oslo: Masaki Kashiwara and the 2025 Abel Prize


Listen Later

From sunny parks to banquets in castles – come with us on an exciting adventure in Oslo as we join the celebrations for the 2025 Abel Prize!  We meet Masaki Kashiwara, winner of this year's prize, who tells us about the importance of collaborations and creating new things.  Ragni Piene, previous chair of the Abel Prize Committee, gives us a look behind the scenes.  And Andrea D'Agnolo, one of Masaki Kashiwara's most recent collaborators, celebrates his friend and fellow bridge-builder between mathematical worlds.  

You can read more about Masaki Kashiwara's work in our article, and you can listen to a recent podcast where we spoke to Helge Holden, Chair of the Abel Prize committee, about the Abel Prize and about Masaki Kashiwara's work.  And can you see all our reporting on every Abel Prize since it was first awarded in 2003 here.

Thanks to the musicians  Peter Baden, Astrid Garmo and Liv Lande for playing such wonderful music in the Abel Prize ceremony which you'll hear a little taste of in this podcast.  And thank you to all the Abel Prize team, including Unni Irmelin Kvam, Pål Petterson, Marina Tofting and Anne Lise Stranden for inviting us to Abel Week and for such a fantastic celebration!
