A colloquium is a broad-reaching lecture aiming to present mathematical ideas to a diverse audience, from undergraduates to faculty. It highlights general mathematical concepts in an accessible manner.
The Mittag-Leffler Colloquium is given by Kristian Seip, Norwegian University of Science and Technology.
Abstract: A new direction of research in analysis, known as Fourier interpolation, has emerged from a celebrated 2019 paper by Radchenko and Viazovska, which was an outgrowth of the solution to the sphere packing problem in dimension 8. I will give an overview of this and subsequent developments and attempt to place this research in a broader context.
