Main contributions

Sikorav is known[according to whom?] for his proof, joint with François Laudenbach, of the Arnold conjecture for Lagrangian intersections in cotangent bundles,[2] as well as for introducing generating families in symplectic topology.

Selected publications

Sikorav is one of fifteen members of a group of mathematicians who published the book Uniformisation des surfaces de Riemann under the pseudonym of Henri Paul de Saint-Gervais.[3]

He has written the survey

and research papers
