Links to subpages of http://www-math.mit.edu/~lurie/ generally no longer work; they should now be subpages of http://www.math.harvard.edu/~lurie/ instead.
I'm in the process of fixing these.
Did we have many links to his webpage left? I think we should instead link to his nLab page Jacob Lurie.
(Except that page itself, of course, needs to link to his current website.)
A lot of the time, you put in a reference something like this:
* [[Jacob Lurie]], _[[Title of a paper that also has a page]]_ ([arXiv](arXiv URI), [pdf](URI that needs to be changed now))
Oh, I see, you mean the pdf links.
In the long run it would maybe be good to have nLab pages for each of these articles and just link to the nLab entries and neither to the arXiv nor to the pdfs. Because, I am being told from a member of his group that Lurie regards publishing his material as something that only prevents him from further improving it, so probably more versions will appear that supercede the old ones. In effect, that means he needs a wiki! ;-)
It might therefore be a generally useful service to the world if we keep one page for each of his articles, and update links there. At least for us this gives a stable way to link to his material.
Another kind of link that you like to make is
See [page n](URI.pdf#page=n) of [[Jacob Lurie]]'s [[Title]].
At one point I thought it would be helpful to have direct links to pages into the huge opus. But if these page numbers aren't stable, then it's maybe not so useful after all.
Well, I've fixed all of the URIs now, but you're certainly free to make them more stable links too.
I guess this sort of thing would be fixed by an integrated bibliography of the sort that Jacques has pondered here. Then you'd just change the URL in the reference database and the links in the instiki pages would automatically update.
On Monday, March 28, Jacob Lurie is giving a Harvard colloqium with really appetizing title:
Tamagawa numbers via nonabelian Poincare duality
There are some notes on a talk of Lurie on nonabelian Poincare duality here.
Oh thanks, this clarifies the second half of the title :)
