Henri Moscovici

Henri Moscovici (born 5 May 1944 in Tecuci, Romania) is a Romanian-American mathematician,[1] specializing in non-commutative geometry and global analysis.[2]

Moscovici received his undergraduate degree in 1966 and his doctorate in 1971 at the University of Bucharest under the supervision of Gheorghe Vrânceanu.[3] From 1966 to 1971 Moscovici was an assistant at the Polytechnic Institute in Bucharest, from 1971 to 1975 at the Mathematical Institute and from 1975 to 1977 at the Institute of Atomic Physics and from 1977 at the INCREST in Bucharest. From 1978 to 1980 he was at the Institute for Advanced Study. He holds the Alice Wood Chair in Mathematics[4] at Ohio State University, where he has been since 1980.

Moscovici does research on representation theory, global analysis, and non-commutative geometry, in which he has collaborated with, among others, Alain Connes since the early 1980s. With Connes he proved in 1990 a refinement of the Atiyah–Singer index theorem.[5][6]

In 1990 he was Invited Speaker with talk Cyclic cohomology and invariants of multiply connected manifold at the International Congress of Mathematicians in Kyoto.[7]

In 2001, he received the Ohio State University Distinguished Scholar Award.[8] In 1995 he was a Guggenheim Fellow. From 1999 to 2000 he was at Harvard University as a scholar of the Clay Mathematics Institute. In 2009 in Bonn a conference was held in his honor.[9] He was elected a Fellow of the American Mathematical Society in 2012.
