    I have added a new link to the page on Grothendieck. There is a good new article on a CNRS site.

    I added a new section with the start of a list on Grothendieck’s students. Please add some more!

    I expanded the list.

    I had no idead before that both Michel Raynaud as well as his wife Michèle Raynaud were both students of Grothendieck. If you came up with that in a novel, readers would complain that the plot is implausible.

  1. Perhaps Timothy Porter knows whether Jean Malgoire and/or Christine Voisin should also be on this list? Neither has entries at Math Genealogy, but various newspaper articles refer to Jean Malgoire (who had access to some of G’s manuscripts) as a “former student”. Esquisse d’un programme refers to “an excellent DEA thesis, written jointly by Jean Malgoire and Christine Voisin in 1976”, which I assume is the monograph Cartes cellulaires (1977) that Timothy pointed me to. The acknowledgments section in that manuscript begins with “Most of the ideas developed here are due to Alexandre Grothendieck”, but there is no mention of a formal student-advisor relationship.

    André thinks he was a student. see here, but the DEA is not counted by people which is a pity. Noam: did you find copies of those Montpellier theses in the École polytechnique library. I am sure George Maltsiniotis has copies. In fact we should contact George and ask him the question you asked me!

  2. Tim: interesting to see that mention on Joyal’s CatLab. Yes, I currently have a copy of Cartes cellulaires on loan from the math library at Orsay (thanks for the pointer!), but haven’t yet tried to obtain the other two Montpellier “Cahiers Mathématiques” references you mentioned. Will keep that suggestion in mind…
