Georges Scandalis

Georges Skandalis (born November 5, 1955 in Athens ) is a Greek mathematician who deals with topics in the field of non-commutative geometry (after Alain Connes ) and operator algebras.

Skandalis studied from 1975 to 1979 at the École normal supérieure with the Agrégation 1977. From 1979 he was an assistant at the University of Paris VI (Pierre et Marie Curie), where he received his doctorate in 1986 under Alain Connes (Doctorat d'État). From 1980 to 1988 he was Attaché de Recherches and then Chargé des Recherches of the CNRS and from 1988 Professor at the University of Paris VII (Denis Diderot) (Institut de Mathématiques de Jussieu).

He deals with operator algebras , K-theory of operator algebras , groupoids , locally compact quantum groups and singular scrolling .

In 2002 he published a work with Nigel Higson and Vincent Lafforgue in which they constructed counterexamples to a tightened version of the Baum and Connes conjecture ( Baum-Connes conjecture with coefficients) in various special cases, based on the work of Michail Leonidowitsch Gromow .

In 1990 he was invited speaker at the International Congress of Mathematicians in Kyoto ( Operator Algebras and Duality ). He was a member of Bourbaki .
