PIMS Mini-workshop on calculus of variations and partial differential equations around the work of Alessio Figalli

Calculus of variations and partial differential equations have been seeing great progress over the last decade, and some of the most important driving forces in these developments are optimal transport and free boundary theories. The recent Fields medalist, Alessio Figalli, has made groundbreaking results in these directions, and it is worth to bring a few leading researchers in these areas, to discuss the state of the art and the future directions, especially to inspire young researchers in the PIMS community.
