Jean-Michel Cantor
Jean-Michel Kantor (born October 9, 1946 ) is a French mathematician and mathematician.
He did research for the CNRS and had been Maître de conférences in Paris since 1966 . Today he is at the Institut des Mathématiques de Jussieu of the Universities of Paris VI and VII and the CNRS.
As a mathematician, he deals with combinatorial geometry and analysis, as a mathematician, among other things, comparing Russian and French approaches to real analysis at the beginning of the 20th century ( Nikolai Lusin , Dmitri Fjodorowitsch Jegorow for the Russians, René Baire , Henri Lebesgue , Émile Borel for the French) and in the history of functional analysis (theory of distributions, Sergei Lwowitsch Sobolew for the Russians, Laurent Schwartz , Jacques Hadamard for the French). In the case of the Lusin School, they establish a connection with a mystical-symbolist school of thought in Russia ( Pawel Alexandrowitsch Florenski , Sergei Bulgakow ).
He also edited a translation of entertaining articles from the Russian popular science journal Quant.
