If you are overwhelmed or intimidated by this mammoth event, you will be pleasantly surprised to learn that the ICM is orchestrated by fellow mathematicians who are nonexperts in organizing meetings. To familiarize you with ICM 2018, let us browse through some of its highlights and how it has been prepared and organized during the last four years or so. Just before the previous ICM in 2014, the General Assembly of IMU elected the current Executive Committee (EC), which was the start for most of us. The members of the EC attended and experienced ICM 2014 especially in preparation for ICM 2018, and started their work in 2015. As my first task as IMU President, I asked Professor János Kollár to be Chair of the Program Committee (PC) and he accepted his role during ICM 2014. The whole PC, consisting of about 10 members, was selected and became complete shortly after the first meeting of the EC in 2015. The PC decided the structure of 19 Panels of the ICM, and furthermore all of the Panel committees, consisting of about 150 members, were formed by Spring 2016. Altogether they selected about 20 plenary speakers and about 180 invited speakers of the highest scientific level by Spring 2017, which form practically the whole academic content of ICM 2018. We were happy to find out that the speakers were from about 40 countries, which provides great evidence that the latest frontiers of research in mathematics are explored in diverse countries worldwide. When ICM 2018 opens, your attention will be drawn to prize winners. The Fields Medal and the Nevanlinna Prize are awarded to young mathematicians who have attained the highest results, which makes them unique among the most prestigious prizes worldwide. The Gauss Prize is awarded for mathematical research which has its foremost impact outside mathematics, and the Chern Medal is awarded for prominent lifetime achievement in mathematics. The latter prizes have no age restrictions. Nowadays the popularization of mathematics has attracted increasing public attention, and the Leelavati Prize awards the most outstanding contributions in this direction, again with no age restriction. The winners of these five prizes will be introduced at the opening and closing ceremonies of ICM 2018, and furthermore short videos will be presented, which are created under the patronage of the Simons Foundation. Besides these prizes, a woman with a top lifetime contribution to mathematics is invited to deliver the ICM Noether Lecture. The EC appointed six committees, which finally selected these prize winners and the lecturer by Spring 2018. The Organizing Committee (OC) led by Chair Marcelo Viana, though mentioned last, started their work in 2012 or even earlier and wisely took advantage of two events. The venue of ICM 2018, the Riocentro Convention Center in Barra da Tijuca, chosen by the OC, was one of the hubs for the 2016 Summer Olympic Games, and thus the area as well as it connections with city centers and the Airport has been very quickly developed and managed. The OC could declare that the Biennium of Mathematics 2017–2018 has successfully absorbed the public attention of the country since they succeeded to host the 2017 International Mathematical Olympiad at Rio as well as ICM 2018. The OC has launched the Open Arms program to offer travel grants to 550 mathematicians from developing countries to attend ICM 2018 under the support of the IMPA, the Brazillian Mathematical Society, and the IMU. The OC’s work over several years has culminated in ICM 2018 attracting thousands of participants. I should also mention that ICM 2018 is managed by many supporters and volunteers who have helped to bring the first ICM in the Southern Hemisphere to a great success. We very much hope that you will enjoy the ICM, its academic and social programs, and furthermore the beautiful touristic places Brazil can offer, including the Sugarloaf Mountain and Christ the Redeemer. Marcelo Viana Chairman of the Rio ICM 2018 Organizing Committee Managing Director, IMPA, Brazil E-mail: [email protected] Welcome Message from the Chairman of ICM 2018 Organizing Committee Dear Colleagues, On behalf of the ICM 2018 Organizing Committee, the Instituto de Matemática

It is named after the Norwegian mathematician Niels Henrik Abel (1802–1829) who found that there is no explicit formula for the roots of a general polynomial of degree five. The financial support of the Abel Prize is comparable with the Nobel Prize, i.e., about one million American dollars. Niels Henrik Abel (1802–1829) M. Křížek a kol.: Prvních deset Abelových cen za matematiku, JČMF, Praha, 2013 87 Already in 1899, another famous Norwegian mathematician Sophus Lie proposed to establish an Abel Prize, when he learned that Alfred Nobel would not include a prize in mathematics among his five proposed Nobel Prizes.

    MAM leva obras de seu acervo para as ruas da cidade de São Paulo em painéis urbanos e projeções Ação propõe expandir as fronteiras do Museu para além do Parque Ibirapuera, para toda a cidade, e busca atingir públicos diversos. Obras de artistas emblemáticos da arte brasileira, de Tarsila do Amaral a Regina Silveira, serão espalhadas pela capital paulista Incentivar e difundir a arte moderna e contemporânea brasileira, e torná-la acessível ao maior número possível de pessoas. Este é um dos pilares que regem o Museu de Arte Moderna de São Paulo e é também o cerne da ação inédita que a instituição promove nas ruas da cidade. O MAM expande seu espaço físico e, até 31 de agosto, apresenta obras de seu acervo em painéis de pontos de ônibus e projeções de escala monumental em edifícios do centro de São Paulo. A ação MAM na Cidade reforça a missão do Museu em democratizar o acesso à arte e surge, também, como resposta às novas dinâmicas sociais impostas pela pandemia. “A democratização à arte faz parte da essência do MAM, e é uma missão que desenvolvemos por meio de programas expositivos e iniciativas diversas, desde iniciativas pioneiras do Educativo que dialogam com o público diverso dentro e fora do Parque Ibirapuera, até ações digitais que ampliam o acesso ao acervo, trazem mostras online e conteúdo cultural. Com o MAM na Cidade, queremos promover uma nova forma de experienciar o Museu. É um presente que oferecemos à São Paulo”, diz Mariana Guarini Berenguer, presidente do MAM São Paulo. Ao longo de duas semanas, MAM na Cidade apresentará imagens de obras de 16 artistas brasileiros espalhadas pela capital paulista em 140 painéis em pontos de ônibus.

    I - INTRODUÇÃO O IMPA , criado em 1952 no âmbito do CNPq e hoje parte do Ministério da Ciência e Tecnologia, tem como atividades principais: 1. Realização de Pesquisas Matemáticas e Aplicações. 2. Difusão do Conhecimento Matemático 3. Formação de Novos Pesquisadores e Professores para as Universidades 4. Desenvolvimento de Projetos de Melhoria do Ensino de Matemática em todos os níveis. Essas atividades visam situar nosso país na vanguarda do conhecimento matemático, objetivo essencial para a prosperidade da Sociedade. De fato, não se pode almejar independência, bem-estar e progresso sem que se possua uma tecnologia criativa e inovadora. Esta, por sua vez, só existirá como conseqüência de um avançado grau de desenvolvimento científico e na base de tal desenvolvimento encontra-se indubitavelmente a matemática. O IMPA tornou-se nos últimos trinta anos um centro de vanguarda no Brasil e na América Latina, tanto pela excelência de sua pesquisa como pela formação de jovens cientistas e na difusão de matemática, merecendo amplo reconhecimento nacional e internacional por seu trabalho. Mais recentemente, a partir das áreas da matemática em que tem atuado, vem crescendo o número de projetos de aplicações a outras áreas da Ciência ou de interesse do setor produtivo. A ação do IMPA nas linhas básicas de suas atividades muito o aproxima das universidades brasileiras atuando para seu pleno desenvolvimento na área da matemática. Sua contribuição às universidades e outros centros científicos, têm sido feita através de seu programa de formação de pesquisadores e pessoal docente de alto nível, dos programas de pós-doutorado e de pesquisadores visitantes, dos Colóquios Brasileiros de Matemática e da publicação de textos primorosos em todos os níveis desde o ensino secundário até a ponta da pesquisa, passando pela coleção de livros Matemática Universitária destinada à melhoria do ensino universitário, como também do acesso à sua excelente biblioteca e da ampla colaboração de seus pesquisadores a outras instituições brasileiras.
