Since Grothendieck’s death somewhat more than a year ago, quite a lot of new material about him and his mathematics has become available. Visit the Grothendieck Circle<\/a> to find a lot of this, with just one example some new chapters<\/a> of the English translation of the third volume of Scharlau’s biography.<\/p>\n

This month’s AMS Notices<\/a> has the first of two parts of a long article<\/a> with contributions from many mathematicians discussing Grothendieck’s work and their memories of him and his influence on their careers. Colin McLarty has an excellent expository article<\/a>, maybe the best of attempts I’ve seen to explain some of the themes of Grothendieck’s mathematics in a relatively accessible manner. <\/p>\n

While you’re there, this latest issue of the Notices has quite a bit else worth reading, from my colleague Ivan Corwin on KPZ universality<\/a> to Beilinson on Gelfand’s seminar<\/a>, and an amusing attempt by Jeremy Gray to guess not the next Fields medalist, but who would have gotten one in 1866<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
