Isaac Chavel

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Isaac Chavel (born April 2, 1939 in Louisville, Kentucky ) is an American mathematician.

Chavel studied mathematics at Brooklyn College (bachelor's degree in 1961, then teaching assistant until 1964) and at New York University (master's degree in 1964) and received his doctorate in 1966 with Harry Rauch at Yeshiva University in New York (conjugate points on homogeneous space). 1966 to 1970 he was an assistant professor at the University of Minnesota . He was Assistant Professor from 1970, Associate Professor from 1973 and Professor at the City University of New York (CUNY) from 1980 .

Chavel deals with differential geometry (Riemannian geometry), eigenvalues ​​of the Laplace operator in Riemannian geometry and geometric inequalities.
