Sylvie Paycha
Sylvie Jane Anne Paycha (born March 27, 1960 in Neuilly-sur-Seine ) is a French mathematician and mathematical physicist. She is a professor at the University of Potsdam .
Paycha studied mathematics at the University of Paris with the Agrégation in 1984 and the DEA degree in 1985 at the University of Paris VII. In 1988 she received her doctorate at the Ruhr University Bochum under Sergio Albeverio ( Probability measures on infinite dimensional manifolds and Polyakov strings ) and again in 1990 from the University of Paris VI (also on the Polyakov string theory formulation). In 1994 she completed her habilitation at the University of Strasbourg (Towards an interpretation of path integrals: the Polyakov model and the critical Ising model), where she was Maitre de Conference since 1989. In 1999 she was a Humboldt fellow in Bonn (with Albeverio) and in 2003 an Emmy Noether Professor at the University of Göttingen . She has been a professor at the University of Blaise Pascal Clermont-Ferrand since 1995 and has been a professor in Potsdam since 2011.
It deals with mathematical aspects of quantum field theory, in particular renormalization , path integral formulation (in string theory a la Polyakov), anomalies.
From 1995 to 1997 she was the coordinator of European Women in Science and from 2006 to 2009 she chaired the EMS Committee for Women in Mathematics. Since 1998 she has also been in a Franco-Colombian science project.
