Nicole Tomczak-Jaegermann , née Nicole Tomczak , (* 1945 ) is a Polish-Canadian mathematician who deals with functional analysis and especially the theory of Banach spaces .

Tomczak-Jaegermann studied at the University of Warsaw with a diploma in 1968 and a doctorate in 1974 with Aleksander Pełczyński . She was at the University of Warsaw until 1983 and then went to Canada, where she is Professor of Mathematics at the University of Alberta . She has a Canada Research Chair in Geometric Analysis.

She made important contributions to the theory of infinitely dimensional Banach spaces and asymptotic geometric analysis, including the connections between the two areas. Her work (especially a work with R. Komorowski (1955–2003) from 1995) played an essential role in the solution of the homogeneity problem for Banach spaces by Timothy Gowers in 1996. Her monograph on Banach-Mazur distances is a standard work.

She worked with Hermann König , among others .

From 1981 to 1983 she was visiting professor at Texas A&M University .

She is a Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada (1996). In 1999 she received the Krieger Nelson Prize and in 2006 the CRM Fields PIMS Prize .

She was co-editor of the Canadian Journal of Mathematics and the Canadian Mathematical Bulletin.

In 1998 she was invited speaker at the International Congress of Mathematicians in Berlin ( From finite to infinite dimensional phenomena in geometric functional analysis on local and asymptotic level ).
