The Jean-Morlet Chair is a scientific programme that was created at CIRM in 2013. Friends and colleagues of the late Jean Morlet - a French geophysicist who pioneered work in the field of wavelet analysis - were looking for a way to celebrate his work. Morlet had worked with Alex Grosssman to develop what is now known as the wavelet transform and they had met on several occasions in Luminy, along with several other colleagues. Originally, people thought to name a house after Jean Morlet in the ground of CIRM Luminy and dedicate it to hosting visiting mathematicians and physicists. In 2012, under Director Patrick Foulon, the decision was made to expand this idea by linking it to a brand new scientific programme that would be an exciting opportunity to develop pioneering work in all fields of mathematical sciences while boosting the international attractiveness of Aix-Marseille University and its region. The Jean-Morlet Chair was born!

CURRENT SEMESTER
(1 July - 31 December 2019) 
Mark Pollicott is Full Professor at the University of Warwick. His main research area is Thermodynamic Formalism. He is particularly interested in applications to other areas of mathematics, including geometry, number theory, dimension theory and analysis. He will be collaborating with Local Project Leader Sandro Vaienti of Aix-Marseille University (Centre of Theoretical Physics Department) and University of Toulon.

NEXT SEMESTER
(7 January - 6 July 2020)
(7 January - 6 July 2020)
Jorge Vitório Pereira is interested in the theory of holomorphic foliations and its interactions with algebraic geometry. During his stay at CIRM, one of the areas he plans to develop in particular is that of the Kobayashi hyperbolicity of these foliations, as well as their birational invariants and arithmetical properties. The Local Project Leader involved in the programme will be Erwan Rousseau of IUF and Aix-Marseille Université (I2M Mathematics Department).
