Artículo WikipediaFuente Dbpedia

Michel Andr? Kervaire (26 April 1927 ? 19 November 2007) was a French mathematician who made significant contributions to topology and algebra. He introduced the Kervaire semi-characteristic. He was the first to show the existence of topological n-manifolds with no differentiable structure (using the Kervaire invariant), and (with John Milnor) computed the number of exotic spheres in dimensions greater than four. He is also well known for fundamental contributions to high-dimensional knot theory. The solution of the Kervaire invariant problem was announced by Hopkins in Edinburgh on 21 April 2009.He was the son of Andr? Kervaire (a French industrialist) and Nelly Derancourt. After completing high school in France, Kervaire pursued his studies at ETH Zurich (1947?1952), receiving a Ph.D. in 1955. His thesis, entitled Courbure int?grale g?n?ralis?e et homotopie, was written under the direction of Heinz Hopf. He was a professor at New York University's Courant Institute from 1959 to 1971, and then at the University of Geneva from 1971 to 1997, when he retired. He was an honorary member of the Swiss Mathematical Society.
