The work of Jean-François Le Gall, winner of the Wolf 2019 Prize

The Wolf Prize in Mathematics, the third most prestigious distinction in mathematics after the Abel Prize and the Fields Medal, was awarded in 2019 jointly to Jean-François Le Gall, professor at the University of Paris-Sud, "for his profound and elegant work on stochastic processes" and Gregory Lawler, professor at Chicago University. It is the highest distinction of all the marks of academic recognition that Jean-François Le Gall has received: plenary speaker at the International Congress of Mathematicians in 2014, member of the Academy of Sciences since 2013, CNRS silver medal, Fermat prize, Loeve prize and Sophie Germain prize... Let us take this opportunity to briefly list some of his most important results in the field of probability theory in antechronological order.
