About Patrick Dehornoy
- Patrick Dehornoy (11 September 1952 – 4 September 2019) was a mathematician at the University of Caen who worked on set theory and algebra.
- He found one of the first applications of large cardinals to algebra by constructing a certain left-invariant total order, called the Dehornoy order, on the braid group.
- He was one of the main contributors to the development of Garside methods in group theory, leading in particular to a conjectured solution for the word problem of general Artin–Tits groups.
