Family edit

She was married to the mathematician Paul Malliavin since 27 April 1965. They had two children (Thérèse and Marie-Joseph).[3]

Career edit

She published her first mathematical article in 1960[4] and received her doctorate in 1965.[5]

After her doctorate, she first became maître de conférences at the University of Caen.[6] Later she became a professor at the Pierre and Marie Curie University (UPMC, Paris 6) in Paris, where she remained until her retirement.[5][6]

Her mathematical students include Jacques Alev and Youssef El From.[7] She wrote several textbooks; the books on commutative algebra and representation theory of finite groups are frequently cited.[6]

At the beginning of her career, she worked on commutative algebra, later on non-commutative algebra. This was at a time when enveloping algebras and then quantum groups were evolving. She collaborated with her husband Paul Malliavin in particular in the study of measures on infinite-dimensional groups.[6][8]

Marie-Paule Malliavin was editor of top-ranked international research journals.[6] She also organised the Algebra Seminar at the Institut Henri Poincaré for several decades, succeeding the deceased Professor Paul Dubreil.[6]
