格罗滕迪克当初为什么选择从泛函转行去做代数几何?
1 个回答
Mathoverflow上有答案,数学家 Ronnie Brown 曾在80年代见过他:
Grothendieck told me in 1985 (1986?) that he was proud of the fact that
his published thesis got a prize as one of the most quoted papers. I
just looked it up in MathScNet and it has 335 citations given there(至今他的泛函分析博士论文在Mathscinet引用是500多,可见其重要性,二战后泛函分析领域最重要进展之一). On
the other hand he writes that he found in analysis not enough geometry,
and relished the wider pastures in algebraic geometry.
泛函分析方面工作综述的话,2007年有一文 Grothendieck's work on functional analysis ,里面描述他这方面工作对泛函分析领域的影响用了tremendous deep和renew这类词。
数学译林曾有一文,写过他这方面工作,参考: 结构主义者Grothendieck的数学人生
他在1972年也曾自我评价过: 格罗腾迪克 自述其一生工作
