Abstract: We prove a new rigorous upper bound on the vertical heat transport for B'enard-Marangoni convection of a two- or three-dimensional fluid layer with infinite Prandtl number. Precisely, for Marangoni number $Magg1$ the Nusselt number $Nu$ is bounded asymptotically by $NulesssimM{a}^{2/7}(lnMa{)}^{-1/7}$. Key to our proof are a background temperature field with a hyperbolic profile near the fluid's surface, and new estimates for the coupling between temperature and vertical velocity.
