Yvette Kosmann-Schwarzbach

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Yvette Kosmann-Schwarzbach (* 1941 ) is a French mathematician who taught at the École polytechnique and the Université Lille .

Kosmann-Schwarzbach did her doctorate in 1970 at the Collège de France under André Lichnerowicz , her work was entitled Dérivées de Lie des spineurs ( Lie derivatives of spinors ).

The so-called Kosmann uplift in differential geometry is named after Kosmann .
