Ricardo Mañé Ramírez, Uruguayan / Brazilian mathematician (Montevideo 14 January 1948 –Montevideo 09 March 1995)

World leader on dynamical systems

Authored 51 works with 1,333 citations

His book Introdução de teoria ergódica (Ergodic theory and differentiable dynamics) was translated into English language (1987) 

Showed that normal hiperbolicity is required for persistence of invariant manifolds (1974)

Defined quasi-Anosov diffeomorphisms

Proved that the interior in the C¹ topology of the set of expansive diffeomorphisms is the set of quasi-Anosov diffeomorphisms (1975)

Proved that a compact metric space exhibiting expansive homeomorphisms must be finite dimensional and every minimal set of such homeomorphisms is zero dimensional  (1979)

INTRODUCED

With Paulo Sad & Sullivan the concept of holomorphic motion of a closed planar set (1983)

Notion of critical value independently from other authors

Notion of generic Lagrangian function 

Concept of ergodic closing lemma

Proved the stability conjecture for C1 class diffeomorphisms (1988)
