'''Driss Abouabdillah''' (or Driss Bouabdillah) is a contemporary Moroccan mathematician born in [[Meknès]] on 1 april [[1948]] . Teacher of [[Algebra]] and [[Geometry]] at the ENS (higher teacher training school) of [[Rabat]].

== Contributions ==

*In Geometry he gave several characterizations of similarities as mappings that preserve circles or spheres [http://www.geocities.com/bwakeel/].
*He proposed an alternative axiomatic approach to Euclidean Geometry by giving an axiomatic definition of equipollence. [http://www.geocities.com/bwakeel/]
*He studied maximal sub-groups of the group of positive isometries and gave several examples of such subgroups.
*He also contributes to Abelian Group Theory and to Commutative Algebra where he gave the definition of topologically prüferian rings.
*In [[Number Theory]] he discovered the following theorem on antichains of N. ( An antichain of N, for divisibility, is a set of non nul integers such that no one is divisible by another. It is not difficult to prove that the maximal cardinality of an antichain of <math>E_{2n}</math> = {1,2,...,2n} is n).

''Abouabdillah's Theorem.'' - Let c∈<math>E_{2n}</math> , c = 2<sup>k</sup>c', c' odd. Then <math>E_{2n}</math> contains an antichain of cardinality n containing c if and only if 2n < 3<sup>k+1</sup>c'.

This result constitutes a complete solution with a problem of Paul Erdös posed in 1937 in Amer.Math.Monthly 44 (1937), p.179.
