Charles Eugène Fabry (French: [øʒɛn fabʁi]; 16 October 1856 – 6 October 1944) was a French mathematician. Fabry is best known for studying the singularities of analytic functions, including proving the Fabry gap theorem.[2][3]

Biography

Eugène Fabry, born in Marseille, was the second of five sons in his family. His brothers included physicist Charles Fabry and astronomer Louis Fabry.[4]

He became professor of analysis at Aix-Marseille University and the University of Montpellier, and a corresponding member of the French Academy of Sciences.[4]

He was the 1930 recipient of the Prix Francoeur of the French Academy of Sciences, "for his work on the singularities of analytical functions".[5]
