Claude Chevalley was a Swiss basketball player. He competed in the men's tournament at the 1948 Summer Olympics. [1]
Jacques Herbrand was a French mathematician. Although he died at age 23, he was already considered one of "the greatest mathematicians of the younger generation" by his professors Helmut Hasse and Richard Courant.
Frederick Claude Vivian Lane was an Australian swimmer who competed at the 1900 Summer Olympics.
Claude Chevalley was a French mathematician who made important contributions to number theory, algebraic geometry, class field theory, finite group theory and the theory of algebraic groups. He was a founding member of the Bourbaki group.
In abstract algebra, an adelic algebraic group is a semitopological group defined by an algebraic group G over a number field K, and the adele ring A = A(K) of K. It consists of the points of G having values in A; the definition of the appropriate topology is straightforward only in case G is a linear algebraic group. In the case of G being an abelian variety, it presents a technical obstacle, though it is known that the concept is potentially useful in connection with Tamagawa numbers. Adelic algebraic groups are widely used in number theory, particularly for the theory of automorphic representations, and the arithmetic of quadratic forms.
In mathematics, specifically in group theory, the phrase group of Lie type usually refers to finite groups that are closely related to the group of rational points of a reductive linear algebraic group with values in a finite field. The phrase group of Lie type does not have a widely accepted precise definition, but the important collection of finite simple groups of Lie type does have a precise definition, and they make up most of the groups in the classification of finite simple groups.
France competed at the 1964 Summer Olympics in Tokyo, Japan. 138 competitors, 118 men and 20 women, took part in 89 events in 14 sports.
France competed at the 1960 Summer Olympics in Rome, Italy, and failed to win a single gold medal for the second time only in the history of the modern Olympic Games. 238 competitors, 210 men and 28 women, took part in 120 events in 19 sports.
France competed at the 1956 Summer Olympics in Melbourne, Australia and Stockholm, Sweden. 137 competitors, 119 men and 18 women, took part in 95 events in 15 sports.
France competed at the 1952 Summer Olympics in Helsinki, Finland. 245 competitors, 214 men and 31 women, took part in 131 events in 18 sports.
Several theorems proved by the French mathematician Claude Chevalley bear his name.
The Union of South Africa competed at the 1948 Summer Olympics in London, England. 35 competitors, 34 men and 1 woman, took part in 34 events in 10 sports.
Claude Piquemal was a French athlete who mainly competed in the 100 metres.
Claude Netter was a French Olympic champion foil fencer.
Claude Rouer was a road cyclist from France, who at the 1952 Summer Olympics won the bronze medal in the men's team road race, alongside Jacques Anquetil and Alfred Tonello. He was a professional rider from 1953 to 1955. In 1953, he was the lanterne rouge of the Tour de France.
Claude Arthur Allen was an American track and field athlete who competed in the 1904 Summer Olympics and a college basketball head coach. In 1904, Allen placed fifth in the pole vault competition.
Jean-Claude Magnan is a French fencer and Olympic champion in foil competition, and a medalist in three successive Olympics.
Jean-Claude Rabbath is a Lebanese high jumper.
Jean-Claude Patrice Jacques Bernard Olry is a French retired slalom canoeist who competed in the late 1960s and early 1970s. He won a bronze in the C-2 event at the 1972 Summer Olympics in Munich.
Jean-Claude Nallet was a French sprinter that competed in the 1968 Summer Olympics in the 400 m and 4 × 400 m relay and at the 1976 Summer Olympics in the 400 m hurdles and reached the final in the relay. He won two gold and two silver medals in these events at the European championships of 1969 to 1974. Nallet retired after finishing sixth in the 400 m hurdles at the 1978 European Athletics Championships. He was married to French Olympic gymnast Chantal Seggiaro.
In mathematics, Theory of Lie groups is a series of books on Lie groups by Claude Chevalley. The first in the series was one of the earliest books on Lie groups to treat them from the global point of view, and for many years was the standard text on Lie groups. The second and third volumes, on algebraic groups and Lie algebras, were written in French, and later reprinted bound together as one volume. Apparently further volumes were planned but not published, though his lectures on the classification of semisimple algebraic groups could be considered as a continuation of the series.
