Emmanuel Carvallo

Emmanuel Carvallo (* 1856 in Narbonne ; † 1945 ) was a French theoretical physicist.

Carvallo studied from 1877 at the École polytechnique , as did his brothers Joseph and Julien. In 1890 he received his doctorate at the Sorbonne with a dissertation in theoretical optics under Henri Poincaré . In the same year he became an examiner in mechanics at the École Polytechnique. He held courses on electricity at the École pratique d'électricité industrial and was from 1909 to 1920 Directeur d'études at the École polytechnique.

In 1897 he studied the stability of bicycles (as independently Francis Whipple in Cambridge in 1899). In 1934 he published a book in which he stated his opinion, previously expressed, that the theory of relativity had been experimentally refuted.

Carvallo worked on the French edition of the Encyclopedia of Mathematical Sciences . In 1904 he was president of the Société Mathématique de France .
