Aline Bonami receives the Bergman Prize for her highly influential contributions to several complex variables and analytic spaces. She is being especially recognized for her fundamental work on the Bergman and Szegö projections and their corresponding spaces of holomorphic functions. Bonami’s work has had long-lasting impact on the theory of several complex variables, operator theory, and harmonic analysis, and it continues to be a strong influence on present-day research in all these fields.

The Centre de recherches mathématiques will be hosting the virtual workshop "Women in Mathematics during the time of COVID" on International Women's Day, March 8th, 1PM-8PM EST, aiming to raise awareness of the career challenges experienced by women mathematicians during the pandemic. <
