The IMJ-PRG is the largest research unit linked to the doctoral school of mathematical sciences of Paris center (École doctorale de sciences mathématiques de Paris-Centre). It has its own journal, the Journal de l'institut de mathématiques de Jussieu, published by Cambridge University Press and covering all areas of fundamental mathematics. [2]
Marie-France Vignéras (born 1946) is a French mathematician. She is a Professor Emeritus of the Institut de Mathématiques de Jussieu in Paris. [1] She is known for her proof published in 1980 of the existence of isospectral non-isometric Riemann surfaces. [2] [3] [4] Such surfaces show that one cannot hear the shape of a hyperbolic drum.
