Marc Yor (24 July 1949 – 9 January 2014) was a French mathematician well known for his work on stochastic processes, especially properties of semimartingales, Brownian motion and other Lévy processes, the Bessel processes, and their applications to mathematical finance.[1] He had an Erdös number of 2.[2]

Background

Yor was a professor[3] at the Paris VI University in Paris, France, from 1981 until his death in 2014.

He was a recipient of several awards, including the Humboldt Prize,[4] the Montyon Prize,[5] and was awarded the Ordre National du Merite[5] by the French Republic. He was a member[5] of the French Academy of Sciences. His students include such notable mathematicians as Jean-Francois Le Gall[6] and Jean Bertoin.[7]

He died on 9 January 2014 at the age of 64.[5]
