4 – The Riemann Surface of an Algebraic Function
309
Towards the end of the 1950s, Alexandre Grothendieck, influenced by a
seminar given by Chevalley on algebraic varieties and by Jean-Pierre Serre’s
introduction of sheaf theory into the question, entered the picture and made
the theory so general and abstract that it can no longer be understood anymore, unless one reads his 30 NP,
17 written by Dieudonn´ e whom nothing
could ever stop, and those of his disciples; better enter a convent. Nevertheless, because of Grothendieck’s theory of schemes which consists of algebraic
geometry over a ring rather than a field, it has been possible to solve previously inaccessible classical problems in number modular functions or number
theory.
17 NP : abbreviation for “ new page ”, a concept invented by the Bourbaki group
when France, multiplied its currency by hundred and introduced “ new francs ”.
