### Cours Peccot

January 25, 2013

Each year since 1900, the french Fondation Claude-Antoine Peccot picks between 1 and 3 mathematicians under the age of 30 who have already made important advances, and gives them the opportunity to give a few lectures on their research topics, the so-called Cours Peccot  (either at Collège de France, or at École Normale Supérieure).

The list of previous lecturers is basically a who’s who of french mathematics (plus a few non-french lecturers too, from time to time).  Since the most recent lecturers don’t appear on the list yet, here’s what I could reconstruct. I’ve added a link to lecture webpages or handouts when they exist (feel free to mention mistakes if I’ve made any):

2002: Denis Auroux. Thierry Bodineau.
2003: Franck Barthe. Cédric Villani.
2004: Laurent Fargues. Laure Saint-Raymond.
2005: Artur Avila. Stefaan Vaes.
2006: Laurent Berger. Emmanuel Breuillard.
2007: Erwan Rousseau. Jérémie Szeftel.
2008: Karine Beauchard. Gaëtan Chenevier.
2009: Joseph Ayoub. Julien Dubédat.
2010: Antoine Touzé.
2011: Sylvain Arlot. Anne-Laure Dalibard.
2012: Alessio Figalli. Vincent Pilloni.
2013: Valentin Féray. Christophe Garban. Peter Scholze.
2014: François Charles. Nicolas Rougerie.
2015: Hugo Duminil-Copin. Gabriel Dospinescu.
2016: Nicolas Curien. Marco Robalo.

Two months ago, Louis de Branges has released a seemingly new version of a paper (running 97 pages) on his approach to the Riemann Hypothesis. New ingredients seem to involve Fourier analysis on the $r-$adelic skew plane (section 4 page 72, defined using quaternions with $r-$adic coefficients), with the part on RH being section 6 page 95. There’s also an updated short description of his line of thought.
