Philippe Robba

Philippe Robba (born March 18, 1941 , † October 12, 1988 ) was a French mathematician who dealt with p-adic analysis.

Robba studied in Paris and took part in the number theory seminar of Hubert Delange , Georges Poitou and Pisot in the late 1960s . In the 1970s he was at the University of Paris VI and, with Yvette Amice , led his own seminar on p-adic analysis (Groupe de travail d'analysis ultramétrique) at the Institut Henri Poincaré from 1973 with his own series of publications. In the 1980s he was at the University of Paris-South in Orsay.

With Bernard Dwork he was a pioneer in the theory of p-adic differential equations and developed an index theory therein.
