Nessim Sibony
Nessim Sibony (born 1947[1]) is a French mathematician, specializing in the theory of several complex variables. He is a professor at the University of Paris-Sud in Orsay.
Biography
Sibony received in 1974 his PhD from the University of Paris-Süd with thesis Problèmes de prolongement analytique et d'approximation polynômiale pondérée. His research has dealt with complex dynamics in several variables, including collaboration with John Erik Fornæss with Fatou-Julia theory in 2 complex variables.
Independently of Adrien Douady and John H. Hubbard, Sibony proved in the 1980s that the Mandelbrot set is locally connected.[2]
In 2009 he received the Sophie Germain Prize. In 1990 he was an Invited Speaker with talk Some recent results on weakly pseudoconvex domains at the ICM in Kyōto.[3]
