Francois Ledrappier

1. Area of research.

I am working in Ergodic Theory, mostly on asymptotic growth rates of the entropy family. Recent papers deal with applications to global geometry of Riemannian manifolds, to actions of discrete subgroups of semi-simple groups, to random walks on discrete groups, and to geometric group theory.

2. Key-words

• ergodic theory
• entropy

3. Current PhD students.

• Pablo Lessa ( Universidad de la Repùblica, Montevideo) is working on entropy relations for foliations of compact spaces with a leafwise Riemannian structure.

4. Former PhD students

• N. Anantharaman (Associate Professor in Orsay)
• Y. Coudène (Associate Professor in Brest).
  

5. Postdocs mentored

• Seonhee Lim (Seoul National University).
