Fatou, Julia, Montel,: le grand prix des sciences mathematiques de 1918, et apres…

Michele Audin

Comment Fatou et Julia ont invente ce que l'on appelle aujourd'hui les ensembles de Julia, avant, pendant et apres la premiere guerre mondiale? L'histoire est racontee, avec ses mathematiques, ses conflits, ses personnalites. Elle est traitee a partir de sources nouvelles, et avec rigueur. On pourra s'y initier a l'iteration des fractions rationnelles et a la dynamique complexe (ensembles de Julia, de Mandelbrot, ensembles-limites). Qui etaient Pierre Fatou, Gaston Julia, Paul Montel? On y trouvera en particulier des informations sur un mathematicien mal connu, Pierre Fatou. On decouvrira aussi quelques incidences de la blessure recue par Julia pendant la guerre sur la vie mathematique en France au vingtieme siecle.

How did Pierre Fatou and Gaston Julia create what we now call Complex Dynamics, in the context of the early twentieth century and especially of the First World War? The book is based partly on new, unpublished sources.Who were Pierre Fatou, Gaston Julia, Paul Montel? New biographical information is given on the little known mathematician that was Pierre Fatou. How did the serious injury of Julia during WWI influence mathematical life in France?
