French mathematician (1914–2008)

Élisabeth Lutz (May 14, 1914 – July 31, 2008) was a French mathematician. The Nagell–Lutz theorem in Diophantine geometry describes the torsion points of elliptic curves; it is named after Lutz and Trygve Nagell, who both published it in the 1930s.[1][L37]

Lutz was a student of André Weil at the University of Strasbourg, from 1934 to 1938. She earned a thesis for her research for him, on elliptic curves over p {\displaystyle p} -adic fields.[2][3] She completed her doctorate (thèse d’état) on p {\displaystyle p} -adic Diophantine approximation at the University of Grenoble in 1951 under the supervision of Claude Chabauty; her dissertation was Sur les approximations diophantiennes linéaires p {\displaystyle p} -adiques.[4]

She became a professor of mathematics at the University of Grenoble.[5]
