Simion Stoilow

Simion Stoilov ( born September 14, 1887 in Bucharest, † April 4, 1961 in Bucharest ) was a Romanian mathematician.

Stoilow studied from 1907 at the Sorbonne in Paris, where he received his doctorate in 1916 with the thesis " Sur une classe de fonctions de deux par les équations variable définies linéaires aux dérivées partial " in Émile Picard. From 1919 to 1921 he was at the University of Iaşi, after two years at the University of Bucharest. Then he became a professor at the National University of Chernivtsi Yuriy Fedkowytsch. From 1939 he was a professor in Bucharest, first at the Polytechnic University, then from 1941 at the University of Bucharest. Stoilov was only deputy director and then director from 1954 Founded in 1949, the Mathematics Institute of the Romanian Academy. He held until his death in this position. Today this institution is called in his honor Simion Stoilov Institute of Mathematics of the Romanian Academy.

Stoilov made ​​diverse contributions to mathematics, in particular for complex analysis. He is considered the father of the Romanian school in this area. The field of topological function theory was co-founded largely on him. Named after him here is the Stoilowsche factorization: Every, continuous, open, discrete mapping between flat areas is composition of a homeomorphism with a holomorphic function. The Stoilow - Kerékjártó compactification is associated with his name.
