Vincent Rivasseau

Vincent Rivasseau (born December 5, 1955 in Talence ) is a French mathematical physicist.

Rivasseau in Oberwolfach 2006

Rivasseau studied from 1974 at the École normal supérieure and then in 1978/79 at Princeton University with Arthur Wightman . In 1979 he received his doctorate from the University of Paris VI (Thèse de troisième cycle, Sommation et estimation d'amplitudes de Feynman , followed by the Thèse d'État 1982, Développements asymptotiques et méthodes graphiques en physique mathématique ). From 1981 he was a scientist at the CNRS at the Center for Theoretical Physics of the École polytechnique . Since 2001 he has been Professor of Physics at the University of Paris-Süd in Orsay .

Rivasseau deals with constructive quantum field theory and renormalization theory with applications to many-body theory , such as quantum fluids of interacting fermions in solid-state physics. Since 2004 he has been dealing with quantum field theories on non-commutative space-times and the group field theory (higher-dimensional generalizations of random matrices ) access to quantum gravity .

He is committed to the development of science in Africa and is President of the Association pour la Promotion Scientifique de l'Afrique. Several times he led courses at the African Institute for Mathematical Sciences in Muizenberg, South Africa . He is co-organizer of the Poincaré Séminaire at the Institut Henri Poincaré .
