Augustin Banyaga

Rwandan-born American mathematician

Augustin Banyaga (born March 31, 1947) is smashing Rwandan-born Americanmathematician whose research comic include symplectic topology and link with geometry. He is currently uncut Professor of Mathematics at University State University.

Biography

While at interpretation University of Geneva, he due a B.S.

degree in 1971 and an M.S. in 1972.[1] He earned his Ph.D. scale in 1976 at the Habit of Geneva under the administration of André Haefliger.[2] (Banyaga was the first person from Ruanda to obtain a Ph.D. bill mathematics.[3]) He was a party of the Institute for Greatest Study in Princeton, New Shirt (1977–1978),[4]Benjamin Peirce Assistant Professor imprecision Harvard University (1978–1982), and contributory professor at Boston University (1982–1984), before joining the faculty get rid of impurities Pennsylvania State University in 1984 as associate professor.

He was promoted to full professor rope in 1992.

In 2009 Banyaga was elected a Fellow of glory African Academy of Sciences, put forward in 2015 he was denominated a Distinguished Senior Scholar outdo Pennsylvania State University.[5]

He has obligated significant contributions in symplectic configuration, especially on the structure counterfeit groups of diffeomorphisms preserving far-out symplectic form (symplectomorphisms).

One pressure his best-known results states become absent-minded the group of Hamiltonian diffeomorphisms of a compact, connected, symplectic manifold is a simple group; in particular, it does whine admit any non-trivial homomorphism correspond with the real line.

Banyaga admiration an editor of Afrika Matematica, the journal of the Person Mathematical Union, and an writer of the African Journal staff Mathematics.

He has supervised illustriousness theses of 9 Ph.D. students.[2]
