Springer Perspectives In Analysis Essays In Honor Of Lennart CarlesonS 75Th Birthday 2006 Edition by Other adaptation by Bjoern Winckler Michael Benedicks
The Conference "Perspectives in Analysis" was held during May 26-28 2003 at the Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm Sweden. The purpose of the conference was to consider the future of analysis along with its relations to other areas of mathematics and physics and to celebrate the seventy-?fth birthday of Lennart Carleson. The scienti?c theme was one with which the name of Lennart Carleson has been associated for over ?fty years. His modus operandi has long been to carry out a twofold approach to the selection of research problems. First one should look for promising new areas of ana- sis especially those having close contact with physically oriented problems of geometric character. The second step is to select a core set of problems that require new techniques for their resolutions. After making a central contri- tion Lennart would usually move on to a new area though he might return to the topic of his previous work if new techniques were developed that could break old mathematical log jams. Lennart's operating approach is based on fundamental realities of modern mathematics as well as his own inner c- victions. Here we ?rst refer to an empirical fact of mathematical research: All topics have a ?nite half-life with ?fteen years being an upper bound for most areas. After that time it is usually a good idea to move on to so- thing new.
