February 8, 2022, marks the 90th anniversary of the birth of Blagovest Sendov. He passed away on January 19, 2020, shortly before reaching the age of 88. The Institute of Mathematics and Informatics will commemorate the 90th anniversary of the birth of Prof. Sendov with the talk by Edward Saff from Vanderbilt University, USA - Discretizing Manifolds with Minimal Energy. A talk in commemoration of B. Sendov's 90th birth date.
In December 2020, Prof. Tao managed to make a major breakthrough in the proof of Sendov’s conjecture about the distribution of the critical points of a complex polynomial, proving this conjecture for sufficiently high degree polynomials.
