Emilio Lluis Riera
Emilio Lluis Riera, Spanish-born Mexican geometer (Roquetas, September 1925- ACHIEVEMENTS Obtained classical results in algebraic geometry Introduced strange varieties Demonstrated that every variety of dimension without singularity may submerge itself in a projective space of dimension 2r+1 and by means of projections Demonstrated that varieties with singularities may protrude in spaces of dimension less than or equal to a maximum of r+d+1 and 2r+1 being d the maximum dimensions of Zariski tangent spaces to variety With H. Cardenas, A.G. Raggi-Cardenas & R. san Agustín developed a diagram for the partial linear space T (Omega-Omega”) Eponym of Bertini-Lluis theorem
Elon Lages Lima
Elon Lages Lima, Brazilian mathematician (Maceió 09 July 1929 – Rio de Janeiro 07 May 2017) In his Doctoral thesis Duality and Postnikov invariants (1958) introduced the notion of topological space spectrum, receiving comments in History of Algebraic Topology from Jean Dieudonné Introduced the category Sp of spectra (1958) Showed that every pair of commuting vector fields on all compact 2-manifolds with non-vanishing Euler characteristic has a common singularity (1963) Enunciated Lima theorem Common singularities of commuting vector fields on 2-manifolds. Comment. Math. Helvet. 39:97-110, 1964. Proved that a complete hypersurface of Euclidean space is a border of a convex body (with M.P. do Carmo and independent of Sacksteder) Proved the Jordan-Brouwer separation theorem for equilibrium compact manifolds (1988)
