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]
