Bo'az clear day

Bo'az clear day ( Hebrew בועז קלרטג; *  April 25, 1978 ) is an Israeli mathematician.

Klartag won a silver medal at the International Mathematical Olympiad in Bombay in 1996 . He studied (1997 Bachelor's , 2000 Master's degree summa cum laude ) and received his doctorate in 2004 from the University of Tel Aviv with Vitali Milman (Topics in Asymptotic Convex Geometry). Then he was a post-doc at the Institute for Advanced Study . Since 2009 he has been an Associate Professor at Tel Aviv University.

Klartag made important advances in asymptotic geometric analysis , an intersection of functional analysis and convex geometry. In his dissertation , he proved that a small number of symmetrization steps according to Jakob Steiner and Hermann Minkowski is sufficient to approximate a convex body in the n-dimensional space of a sphere . He proved a central limit theorem for convex bodies in probability theory . He solved some long open problems like an intersection problem posed by Jean Bourgain and, with Charles Fefferman, a problem of the optimal extrapolation of continuous functions.

In 2008 he received the EMS Prize (where he gave the prize lecture High dimensional distributions with convexity properties ) and the Salem Prize . In 2006 he was invited speaker at the International Congress of Mathematicians in Madrid ( Isomorphic and almost-isometric problems in high dimensional convex geometry ).
