Modifică date / text

Sir Michael Francis Atiyah (n. 22 aprilie 1929, Hampstead^⁠(d), Anglia, Regatul Unit – d. 11 ianuarie 2019, Edinburgh, Scoția, Regatul Unit) a fost un matematician britanic cu rădăcini libaneze, unul dintre cei mai importanți ai secolului XX.^[31]

Este cunoscut în special pentru lucrările sale de topologie algebrică și analiză matematică.

A colaborat cu mai mulți matematicieni, printre care Raoul Bott, Isadore Singer și Friedrich Hirzebruch. Cu acesta din urmă a pus bazele Teoriei K din domeniul spațiilor topologice. Dar cea mai valoroasă contribuție a sa o constituie Teorema indicelui Atiyah-Singer, care indică numărul de soluții independente ale anumitor tipuri de ecuații diferențiale.
