Jean-Louis Loday

Jean-Louis Loday (12 January 1946 – 6 June 2012) was a French mathematician who worked on cyclic homology and who introduced Leibniz algebras (sometimes called Loday algebras) and Zinbiel algebras.^[1] He occasionally used the pseudonym Guillaume William Zinbiel, formed by reversing the last name of Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz.

Education and career

Loday studied at

and a member of the Institute for Advanced Mathematical Research (IRMA) at the University of Strasbourg.
