John Erik Fornæss
John Erik Fornæss (born October 14, 1946 in Hamar , Norway ) is a Norwegian mathematician.
Fornæss studied at the University of Oslo (Diploma 1970, Uniform approximation on manifolds ), received his doctorate in 1974 with Edgar Lee Stout at the University of Washington ( Embedding Strictly Pseudoconvex Domains in Convex Domains ). From 1974 he was an instructor at Princeton University , where he became Assistant Professor in 1976, Associate Professor in 1978 and Professor in 1981. In 1978 he received a research grant from the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation ( Sloan Research Fellowship ). Since 1991 he has been a professor at the University of Michigan . He is a fellow of the American Mathematical Society .
He is particularly concerned with the function theory of several complex variables and their geometric aspects and dynamics of several complex variables, whereby he partly worked with Nessim Sibony in the construction of a Fatou-Julia theory in two variables.
