Alexander Grothendieck

Japanese: グロタンディエク - ぐろたんでぃえく(英語表記)Alexander Grothendieck
Alexander Grothendieck

French mathematician. He spent his childhood in Germany, but fled to France to avoid the Nazi persecution of the Jews during World War II, losing his German citizenship. He began his serious mathematics studies in France, and in his early years, he focused on function spaces. In 1958, he became a member of the newly established Institut des Hautes Études Scientifiques (IHÉS), and from this time on he began to construct algebraic geometry using new forms, reorganizing it in a wide range of areas and in a systematic way. Many of his works are included in the institute's publications. He was awarded the Fields Medal in 1966 for his achievements.

He left the IHÉS in 1970. He was a professor at the University of Montpellier from 1973 to 1984, and a researcher at the National Center for Scientific Research, Centre National de Recherches Scientifiques (CNRS), from 1984 to 1988. He announced his retirement in 1988, and went into seclusion in the Pyrenees in 1991.

フランスの数学者。幼・少年期をドイツで過ごしたが、第二次世界大戦中、ナチスのユダヤ人迫害を避けて、フランスに逃亡し、ドイツ国籍を喪失した。数学の本格的な勉強はフランスで行い、初期には関数空間に関係した研究が主であった。1958年、新設の高等科学研究所Institut des Hautes Études Scientifiques(IHÉS)の所員となり、このころから代数幾何学を新しい形式により組み立てることを始め、幅広く、体系的に再編した。その内容の多くは、同研究所の出版物に収められている。その業績に対して1966年にフィールズ賞が授与された。

[永田雅宜]

1970年、IHÉSを退所。1973年から1984年の間は、モンペリエ大学教授を務め、1984年から1988年まで国立科学研究センターCentre National de Recherches Scientifiques(CNRS)の研究員。1988年、引退を発表し、1991年ピレネーで隠遁(いんとん)生活に入った。
