Jacques Carmona
Jacques Carmona (* 1934 in Marseille ) is a French mathematician who deals with harmonic analysis and representation theory of Lie groups.
life and work
Carmona came from the working class and wanted to be a teacher, which is why he studied from 1949 at the École Normale d'Instituteurs (which trained primary school teachers) and from 1953 at the École Normale Supérieure de l'Enseignement Technique. He received his diploma as a teacher and taught in Boulogne-sur-Mer until 1957 . After receiving the Agrégation for teaching at technical schools (Lycée Technique) in 1957, he was briefly a teacher in Algiers (Lycée Bugeaud) and from 1958 to 1960 in Le Mans at the Prytanné Militaire. Then he went to his home in the south of France as a high school teacher in Salon de Provence. He also studied theoretical physics at the University of Marseille with the DEA in 1963. He became a teaching assistant at the University of Marseille (Faculté des Sciences de Saint-Charles) and received his doctorate in 1968 under Henri Morel (a student of Laurent Schwartz ) (Thèse d'Etat ). For the dissertation he delved into the work of Harish-Chandra , which became his future field of work (non-commutative harmonic analysis, harmonic analysis on Lie groups). From 1968 he was a professor at the newly founded Faculté des Sciences in Luminy (University of Aix-Marseille).
With Michèle Vergne he organized a series of conferences from 1974 to 1985 on harmonic analysis on Lie groups. He also taught computer science and applied mathematics at the university.
Delorme was invited speaker at the International Congress of Mathematicians in Beijing 2002 (Harmonic analysis on real reductive symmetric spaces).
