Jean-Claude Sikorav
Jean-Claude Sikorav (born June 21, 1957 in Paris ) is a French mathematician who deals with symplectic geometry, complex geometry and geometry of groups.
career
Sikorav attended the Lycée Louis-le-Grand . As a pupil, he won the gold medal (with a perfect score) at the Mathematics Olympiad in Bulgaria in 1975, having received the bronze medal in Erfurt a year earlier. Sikorav attended the École normal supérieure in Paris from 1976 and received his doctorate in 1982 under François Laudenbach at the University of Paris-South in Orsay. He is a professor at the École normal supérieure de Lyon , where he headed the mathematics faculty for a long time.
In symplectic geometry he is known, among other things, for the proof of a special case of a conjecture by Vladimir Arnold (theorem of Laudenbach and Sikorav). Laudenbach and Sikorav also deal with the existence (sikorav) generating functions with certain asymptotic properties in the Lagrangian submanifolds, which the theorem describes, which was expanded by Claude Viterbo (he proved the uniqueness) and which proved to be important for the development of symplectic geometry.
He has been a Knight of the Ordre des Palmes Académiques since 2011 . In 1988 he held the Cours Peccot at the Collège de France .
