Tell me about Grothendieck

>>8886629
∞^2=∞^3

>>8886629
Most of his work consists of developing the stage for mathematics to be done on rather than actually proving mad theorems.

he is the founder of modern algebraic geometry

>>8886629
Arguably and without a doubt respectively. He's on the level as Euler or Gauss in my opinion and was forty years ahead of his time.

>>8886716
this

only autismaic geometers know him

>>8886629
Whacking theorems can be done by brainlets with enough time and effort.

Grothendieck however was great at defining things the way they "should" be defined. It takes a real visionary to do that.

When were you when GOATendieck was kill ?

because he's a brainlet and he himself admitted it

>>8887147
no he wasn't

>>8886643
not really true but I get where you're coming from

>>8888382
Apart from Grothendieck-Riemann-Roch theorem what other really notable theorems did he prove?

Goaty

>>8888925
i don't know if they're notable or just mostly significant as parts of bigger theories (i'm not a geometer), but i've at least seen these in classes i took:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grothendieck_construction
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grothendieck%27s_Galois_theory

>>8888925
Three of the Weil conjectures.

>>8888974
Forgot about them.

First link is a good example but the second two are a construction and a abstraction of pre-existing structure.
