Mathematics
This section contains my mathematical articles and notes, and a few from other mathematicians.
In 2003 I added the classical paper Numbers of solutions of equations in finite fields of André WEIL (with permission of the American Mathematical Society) that had at that time been unavailable.
In 2005 I worked with Jean GIRAUD to transcribe his class notes on Riemann Surfaces into TeX. In 2007 I transcribed the course of Jean-Louis VERDIER on the fundamental group into TeX.
In 2010 I republished the course on plane curves of second order and their invariants by Ernst FREUDENTHAL and Werner HEINRICH, supplemented in 2011 by the solutions booklet to their exercises. Also in 2011 I added the Bourbaki talk of Enrico BOMBIERI on Counting points on curves over finite fields.
In 2014 appeared my reedition of the SGA d’Orsay, « en hommage à Michel DEMAZURE, Jean GIRAUD, Michel RAYNAUD et Jean-Louis VERDIER » Séminaire de Géométrie Algébrique. In 2015 I provided a TeX edition of the booklet on kählerian varieties by André WEIL.
This section is organized into these subareas:
- mathematical recreation
- astronomy & physics
algebra- topology
- differential geometry
- algebraic geometry
- arithmetic
- representations
Timelines of mathematicians (and some physicists and astronomers)
