Christian Pauc
Christian Yvon Pauc (born March 29, 1911 in La Madeleine-lez-Lille ; † January 8, 1981 ) was a French mathematician who dealt with analysis .
Life
Pauc studied from 1930 at the École normal supérieure (Paris) with the Agrégation in mathematics in 1933. After his military service, he did research for the CNRS and was in Vienna from 1935 to 1937 (including in the seminar of Karl Menger ) and Rome. In 1939 he received his doctorate at the Sorbonne under Maurice Fréchet (Les methodes directes en calcul des variations et en geometrie differentielle). As a reserve officer, he was taken prisoner of war in 1940. In the officers' camp in Berlin he built up a prison university and worked on the Zentralblatt für Mathematik (he had a very good knowledge of German). Otto Haupt and Georg Nöbeling , who knew him from pre-war times, brought him to the University of Erlangen as an assistant in 1943 . This resulted in the revision of the three-volume differential and integral calculus by Haupt and Georg Aumann (De Gruyter, 1948 to 1950) and over a dozen essays by Pauc with Haupt. In 1945 he returned to France, was a lecturer at the University of Clermont-Ferrand and from 1946 in Marseille. From 1948 to 1952 he taught at the University of Cape Town (one of his doctoral students there was Hanno Rund ). In 1953 he became Maître de conférences at the École nationale supérieure de mécanique in Nantes (from which the university later emerged), where he also taught at the University of Rennes . He also frequently visited Erlangen and as early as 1947 the Oberwolfach Institute . After founding the University of Nantes , he received a personal chair there in 1962. He died of complications from Parkinson's disease and is buried in Saint-Léger-les-Vignes south of Nantes.
In 1959 he received the Prix Carrière of the Académie des Sciences.
In 1954 he was invited to speak at the International Congress of Mathematicians in Amsterdam (Contributions à la théorie de la différentiation de fonctions d'ensemble).
In 1935 he married Christiane Gouard (also an ENS graduate).
