Michel Hervé (mathematician)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Michel André Hervé (* 1921 in Paris ; † August 3, 2011 ) was a French mathematician who studied analysis.

Hervé was second in the general entrance examination for the École normal supérieure in 1939 and first in the 1942 graduation (Agrégation). From 1944 to 1947 he was Agrégé preparator at the ENS and then Attaché de Recherches of the CNRS . In 1951 he received his doctorate and held the Cours Peccot at the Collège de France . In 1951 he became professor at the University of Rennes , 1953 in Caen , 1955 in Nancy (as a colleague of Laurent Schwartz ) and in 1963 at the University of Paris VI , where he remained until his retirement in 1990. From 1983 to 1990 he was director of the Laboratory for Complex Analysis and Geometry there, succeeding Pierre Dolbeault .

He was also involved in the run-up to the founding of the Institut Mathématiques de Jussieu (Universities Paris VI, VII, CNRS) (1994), whose first director was his successor Charles Peskine .

1970 to 1980 he was Directeur Adjointe of the ENS.

He was visiting scholar at the Institute for Advanced Study (1957) and at the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research (1962).

He did research on the function theory of several complex variables (e.g. iteration of holomorphic functions in and automorphic functions in several variables), potential theory, measure theory and partial differential equations of the 2nd order.

In 1968 he received the first Prix ​​Servant of the Academie des Sciences with Marcel Brelot and in 1972 the Prix Gaston Julia.

In 1968 he published the works of Gaston Julia .

In 1981 he became President of the French Mathematical Society (SMF).
