Watch a historic 1996 lecture delivered in French (with English subtitles) by Pierre Deligne, Professor Emeritus at Princeton's Institute for Advanced Study, as he explores the revolutionary mathematical contributions of Alexandre Grothendieck during a colloquium honoring Jean Dieudonné in Nice. Delve into Grothendieck's groundbreaking six functor formalism, with references to Robin Hartshorne's lecture notes on Residues and Duality, now published by the French Mathematical Society. Learn from Deligne, who served as Permanent Professor at IHES from 1970 to 1984, as he examines the work of Grothendieck, one of the 20th century's most influential mathematicians and former IHES Permanent Professor (1958-1970). Released by IHES in collaboration with CNRS Images to commemorate the 10th anniversary of Grothendieck's passing, this 56-minute presentation offers unique insights into the mathematical legacy of a legendary figure.
