Vincent Rivasseau
MFO
, 2006Vincent Rivasseau (born 5 December 1955 in Talence) is a French mathematical physicist.
Rivasseau studied from 1974 to 1978 at the
École Normale Supérieure and then in 1978/79 at Princeton University with Arthur Wightman
as advisor. In 1979 he got his PhD (Thèse de troisième cycle, Sommations et Estimations d'amplitudes de Feynman),
at the CNRS
at the
Center for Theoretical Physics of University of Paris-Sud in Orsay
.
Rivasseau's research deals with
fermions in solid state physics.[2] Since 2004 he has studied quantum field theories on noncommutative space-time,[3]
then group field theory. Since 2011 he develops the tensor track[4] approach to quantum gravity
based on random tensors[5]
(higher-dimensional generalizations of random matrices).
From 2000 to 2012 he was editor in chief of Annales Henri Poincaré [1] and is currently co-editor in chief of Annales de l'Institut Henri Poincaré D [2].
He is committed to the development of science in Africa, being a co-founder of the AIMS-Sénégal Institute [3] (2011)[6] and president of the Association pour la Promotion Scientifique de l'Afrique [4], which he founded in 2009. He is also co-organizer of the Poincaré Seminars [5] at the Institut Henri Poincaré.
