André Martineau

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

André Martineau (born May 14, 1930 , † May 4, 1972 ) was a French mathematician who dealt with analysis.

Martineau studied at the École normal supérieure and did his doctorate under Laurent Schwartz in Paris on analytical functionals and worked with Schwartz for several years. He was a professor at the University of Nice (Sophia Antipolis). He died of cancer at the age of 42.

He dealt with analysis in several complex variables, where he introduced Fourier-Borel transformations for analytic functionals (for one variable as early as Émile Borel ). He was one of the early supporters of the hyperfunctions (about which he gave a lecture in the Bourbaki seminar in 1960/61) of Mikio Satō and, according to Pierre Cartier, also played a role in the development of the schema concept in algebraic geometry with a remark he made made towards Jean-Pierre Serre .

In 1970 he was invited speaker at the International Congress of Mathematicians in Nice ( Fonctionelles analytiques ) and in 1962 in Stockholm ( Croissance d'une fonction entiers de type exponentiel et supports des fonctionelles analytiques ). André Hirschowitz and Henri Skoda are among his doctoral students .

His son Jacques Martineau (* 1963) is a filmmaker (screenwriter, director).
