borel
Borel is a surname associated with several notable figures in mathematics, the most influential of whom is Émile Borel (1871–1956), a French mathematician and statesman who helped establish foundational work in measure theory and probability. In his name, several central concepts in analysis and probability are named.
In mathematics, the Borel sigma-algebra of a topological space is the sigma-algebra generated by its open sets,
In analysis, the Borel transform and Borel summation are techniques for dealing with divergent series and asymptotic
The surname also figures prominently in algebraic groups through Armand Borel (1923–2003), a Swiss-born French mathematician
The name Borel thus links foundational work in measure theory, probability, and algebraic groups, with Émile
