Jean-Marie Souriau is a mathematician, known for works in symplectic geometry, in which he is one of the pioneers. He has published several works, a treatise on relativity [Sou64b] and a treatise on mechanics: [Sou70]. He has developed the symplectic aspects of classical and quantum mechanics. His work includes the first geometric interpretation of spin, and many important concepts, such as: the coadjoint action of a group on its moment space, the moment map, prequantization (geometric quantization), the classification of the homogeneous symplectic manifolds, diffeological spaces and many others.
