André Néron
André Néron (; November 30, 1922,
La Clayette,
France – April 6, 1985,
Paris, France) was a
French mathematician at the
Université de Poitiers who worked on
elliptic curves and
abelian varieties. He discovered the
Néron minimal model of an elliptic curve or abelian variety, the
Néron differential, the
Néron–Severi group, the
Néron–Ogg–Shafarevich criterion, the
local height and
Néron–Tate height of
rational points on an abelian variety over a
discrete valuation ring or
Dedekind domain, and classified the possible fibers of an
elliptic fibration.
