Carleson will be honored "for his profound and seminal contributions to harmonic analysis and the theory of smooth dynamical systems," said Erling St酶rmer, the chairman of the international Abel Committee.
Norway's King Harald will present the $920,000 Abel Prize to Carleson during a May 23 ceremony in Oslo.
