szolem mandelbrojt

Szolem Mandelbrojt (1899 1983) was a French mathematician, from a Polish-Lithuanian Jewish background. He worked mainly in classical analysis; he was a student of Jacques Hadamard, and became Hadamard's successor as Professor at the Collge de France. He was an early member of the Bourbaki group, taking part in some of its initial gatherings. In fact his direction was very different, as his publications show, with an interest in Dirichlet series, lacunary series, entire functions and other major topics in complex analysis and harmonic analysis. In fact he is more accurately described as a follower of G. H. Hardy, and can be placed in the group containing Norbert Wiener and Torsten Carleman who were moderate modernisers of classical Fourier analysis. Agmon Shmuel was one of his students. During World War II he was in the USA, in Houston at the Rice Institute from 1940, being one of many French scientists helped by the programme of Louis Rapkine (1904-1948) after the fall of France in June 1940. Benot Mandelbrot is his nephew. Mandelbrojt, Szolem Mandelbrojt, Szolem Mandelbrojt, Szolem
