Vincent Rivasseau (born 5 December 1955) is a French mathematical physicist.
Rivasseau studied from 1974 to 1978 at the École Normale Supérieure and then in 1978/79 at Princeton University with Arthur Wightman as advisor. In 1979 he got his PhD (Thèse de troisième cycle, Sommations et Estimations d'amplitudes de Feynman), at the University of Paris VI, followed by the Thèse d'État (1982, Développements asymptotiques et méthodes graphiques en physique mathématique). From 1981 to 2001 he was a scientist of the CNRS at the Center for Theoretical Physics at the École Polytechnique. Since 2001 he is professor of physics at the University of Paris-South in Orsay.
Rivasseau's research deals with constructive quantum field theory and renormalization theory with applications to many-body theory, such as quantum interacting fermions in solid state physics. Since 2004 he has studied quantum field theories on noncommutative space-time, then group field theory, then developed the tensor track[1]
[2] approach to quantum gravity based on random tensors (higher-dimensional generalizations of random matrices).
He is committed to the development of science in Africa, being a co-founder of the AIMS-Sénégal Institute [1] (2011) and president of the Association pour la Promotion Scientifique de l'Afrique [2], which he founded in 2009. He is also co-organizer of the Séminaires Poincaré [3] at the Institut Henri Poincaré.
