François Laudenbach

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

François Laudenbach (born January 15, 1945 in Paris ) is a French mathematician who deals with differential geometry, symplectic geometry and low-dimensional topology.

Laudenbach studied from 1963 at the École polytechnique , then attended Laurent Schwartz's seminar and did his doctorate with Jean Cerf . He was a professor at the University of Paris-South , the École normal supérieure de Lyon and the École polytechnique before becoming a professor at the University of Nantes . He has now retired.

Among other things, he and colleagues published a presentation of the work of William Thurston on self- portrayals of surfaces.

His PhD students include Jean-Claude Sikorav (with whom he carried out important work in symplectic geometry) and Claude Viterbo .
