Jean-Louis Loday
Jean-Louis Loday was a French mathematician who worked on cyclic homology and who introduced Leibniz algebras and Zinbiel algebras.
He occasionally used the pseudonym Guillaume William Zinbiel, formed by reversing the last name of Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz.
Loday studied at Lycée Louis-le-Grand and at École Normale Supérieure in Paris. He completed his Ph.D. at the University of Strasbourg in 1975 under the supervision of Max Karoubi, with a dissertation titled K-Théorie algébrique et représentations de groupes. He went on to become a senior scientist at CNRS and a member of the Institute for Advanced Mathematical Research at the University of Strasbourg.Publications
