    I have added a brief paragraph to the entry Myles Tierney. Can others please check (especially Todd, of course) if we want to add more? Myles was a leading category theorist and will be missed.

    Probably some idea of what he and Joyal collaborated on (over decades) would be nice to include at some point. I don’t feel very qualified to write on this myself.

    During the topos years, he was one of or maybe the first to treat set-theoretic forcing in topos-theoretic terms, and he had much to do with clarifying the notion of classifying topos (as in the 1976 volume, I think conference proceedings, dedicated to Eilenberg).

    it would be good to have a list of his main papers as well. I will start this, but please everyone if you see a paper that to you is important do add it. We might try doing a similar list for Fred Linton and others we have lost in the last few years. Not an exhaustive list but those papers of use to the themes of the Lab.

    (Edit: I have added some of the titles of his papers which occur in n-Lab pages. I am not sure whether or not doing a list of the main pages concerned is worthwhile as searching on his name will give all such plus lots more.)

    I forgot to mention the wonderful monograph by him and Joyal, An Extension of the Galois Theory of Grothendieck. I don’t think this is as well known as it should be. (Edit: but I see it’s now in the references – thanks, Tim).

    That is a wonderful source of a lot of good mathematics, and I agree it should be better known.

    I notice that the accents are not working on this page on Myles Tierney, but they were a day of two ago.

    This and other things broke while Adeel is fiddling with the installation here.
