Entre los matemáticos, se compara con Einstein. Entre otros, provoca el chisme y la piedad. Desde las profundidades de su aislamiento autoimpuesto, Alexander Grothendieck nos ha enviado un vasto trabajo introspectivo: Cultivos y Semillas. El matemático Pierre Cartier, uno de los colegas de Grothendieck, ofrece una valoración racional y honesto el trabajo y el hombre.
The purely mathematical analysis, Gelfand’s and then Grothendieck’s, of the notion of a point was discovered after a fundamental reevaluation of the status of the point in quantum physics. The most systematic expression of this reevaluation is Alain Connes’ non-commutative geometry. The synthesis is far from complete. The increasingly manifest kinship between the Grothendieck-Teichmüller28 group and the renormalization group in quantum field theory is doubtless only the first manifestation of a symmetry group operating on the fundamental constants of physics, a kind of cosmic Galois group.
