UNION OF BULGARIAN MATHEMATICIANS INSTITUTE OF MATHEMATICS AND INFORMATICS, BULGARIAN ACADEMY OF SCIENCES NATIONAL MATHEMATICS COLLOQUIUM The next meeting of the National Mathematics Colloquium will be held on June 17, 2026 (Wednesday) at 4:15 pm EET in the Conference Room of IMI - BAS. A talk on: Gerd Faltings: From the Mordell Conjecture to the Abel Prize will be delivered by Dr. Alexandros Konstantinou, ICMS, Institute of Mathematics and Informatics, Bulgarian Academy of Sciences.   Abstract. Faltings’ proof of the Mordell conjecture is one of the landmark results of twentieth-century mathematics. It states that a smooth projective curve of genus at least 2 over the rationals has only finitely many rational points. For this work, Faltings received the Fields Medal in 1986. In 2026 [...]
