French mathematician, (1947 - )

Currently Full Professor at IHES ([Bures sur Yvette]?, France).

Specialist of [Von Neumann Algebra]?s, he succeeded in completing the classification of factors of these objects. He was awarded the [Fields medal]? in 1982.

The remarkable links between this subject, the tools he and others devised to tackle the problem and other subjects in theoretical physics, particle physics, differential geometry, made him emphasize [Noncommutative Geometry]? (name of his major book to date).

See [Cyclic Homology]?, [Von Neumann Algebra/Factors]?, [Higgs Boson]?, [C Star Algebra]?, [M Theory]?, Groupoid, [Jean Louis Loday]?.
