Jean-Claude Sikorav

Jean-Claude Sikorav (born 21 June 1957) is a French mathematician. He is professor at the École normale supérieure de Lyon. He is specialized in symplectic geometry.[1]

Jean-Claude Sikorav

Main contributions

Sikorav is known for his proof, joint with François Laudenbach, of the Arnold conjecture for Lagrangian intersections in cotangent bundles,[2] as well as for introducing generating families in symplectic topology.

Selected publications

Sikorav is one of fifteen members of a group of mathematicians who published the book Uniformisation des surfaces de Riemann under the pseudonym of Henri Paul de Saint-Gervais.[3]

He has written the survey

Honors

Sikorav is a Knight of the Ordre des Palmes Académiques.

gollark: Also name all supercontinents and explain the Great Unconformity.

gollark: Natural ≠ good.

gollark: You know geology? Name all rocks.

gollark: They just get cheese shipped up there periodically.

gollark: It doesn't exist so that's not very useful.
