Augustin Banyaga
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Augustin Banyaga (b. March 31, 1947 in Kigali, Rwanda) is a Rwandan-born American mathematician whose research fields include symplectic topology and contact geometry.
He earned his PhD degree in 1976 at the University of Geneva, under the supervision of André Haeflinger. He is currently a Professor of Mathematics at Pennsylvania State University. He has made significant contributions in symplectic topology, especially on the structure of groups of diffeomorphisms preserving a symplectic form (symplectomorphisms).
