Jean-Pierre Demailly (born September 25, 1957 in Péronne ) is a French mathematician who deals with algebraic geometry and complex analysis.

Life

Jean-Pierre Demailly attended school in Péronne and Lille and studied from 1975 at the École normal supérieure in Paris. In 1976 he received his agrégation in mathematics there, in 1977 the DEA at the University of Paris VI , and in 1978 his diploma (Thèse du troisieme cycle) with a thesis on Croissance des fonctions holomorphes sur un fiber à base de Stein et à fiber , et sur une surface de Riemann with Henri Skoda , who led a seminar on analysis in Paris with Pierre Lelong . Demailly received his doctorate in 1982, also with Henri Skoda, on the subject of Sur différents aspects de la positivité en analyze complexe .

From 1979 Demailly was a researcher at the CNRS . In 1980/81 he did his military service as a mathematics teacher at the Naval Academy in Brest . From 1983 he was professor at the University of Grenoble , from 1987 full professorship, where he has taught and researched at the Fourier Institute since 1991.

He is married and has a daughter.

Work and awards

Demailly applied modern analytical methods in algebraic geometry. For example, he proved holomorphic Morse inequalities and vanishing theorems and investigated special Kahler manifolds. With Jawher El-Goul he (like Michael McQuillan at the same time ) proved a conjecture by Shoshichi Kobayashi about the hyperbolicity of hypersurfaces of a sufficiently high degree in three-dimensional projective space.

In 1994 he was invited speaker at the ICM in Zurich on the subject of methods and effective results in algebraic geometry , and at the ICM 2006 in Madrid he gave one of the plenary lectures on Kähler Manifolds and Transcendental Techniques in Algebraic Geometry .

In 1982 he received the bronze medal of the CNRS and in 1986 the Prix Peccot-Vimont des Collège de France . In 1987 he received the Prix Carrière of the French Academy of Sciences and in 1994 its Prix ​​Mergier-Bourdeix . In 1989 he received the Mathematics Prize from IBM , in 1991 the Dannie Heineman Prize of the Academy of Sciences in Göttingen , of which he is a corresponding member, in 1994 the Prix Mergier-Bourdeix, in 1996 the Humboldt Prize and the Max Planck Research Prize . In 2006 he received the Simion Stoilow Prize from the Romanian Academy of Sciences.

In 1994 he became a corresponding and in 2007 permanent member of the French Academy of Sciences . In 2013 he was accepted as a full member of the Academia Europaea .
