"Masaki Kashiwara, project professor at Kyoto University’s Research Institute for Mathematical Sciences, has been awarded the prestigious Abel Prize for 2025"
"Kashiwara is best known for his work on D-module theory, a new basis for studying systems of linear differential equations with algebraic analysis, according to the Norwegian academy"

Congratulations to Michel for receiving the 2024 "for his groundbreaking contributions to probability theory and functional analysis, with outstanding applications in mathematical physics and statistics": abelprize.no/article/2024/mich

Michel is perhaps less well known outside of probability than he ought to be. I consider myself a user of probability rather than an expert in the subject, but I have always been impressed by the powerful, deep, general, and non-obvious probabilistic tools that he has developed, particularly his concentration inequality en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talagran (which provides concentration of measure estimates in very general settings, without explicitly requiring otherwise standard assumptions such as Gaussian distribution, martingale structure, or Lipschitz dependence), or his majorizing measures theorem projecteuclid.org/journals/ann , that gives a remarkably precise (but highly unintuitive) answer to what the expected size of the supremum of a gaussian process is, in terms of the geometry of that process.
