Jean-Claude Sikorav

French mathematician

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]

Main contributions

Sikorav is known^{[according to whom?]} 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

Sikorav, Jean-Claude (1994), "Some properties of holomorphic curves in almost complex manifolds", Holomorphic curves in symplectic geometry, Progress in Mathematics, vol. 117, Basel: Birkhäuser, pp. 165–189, MR 1274929.
