Subject: Origins of Alexander Grothendieck's Pursuing Stacks From: Ronnie Brown Date: Mon, 06 Dec 2004 13:56:48 +0000 To: Don Davis For discussion list Origins of Alexander Grothendieck's Pursuing Stacks In view of the continuing interest in Alexander's Manuscript with that title, and the recent articles in Notices AMS on Grothendieck, I have made a short web page giving giving some information on how that MS came about. This also explains why PS is in English. http://www.bangor.ac.uk/~mas010/purs-stacks.html Ronnie Brown http://www.bangor.ac.uk/~mas010 By the way, the following is the new URL of the updated CPM site http://www.popmath.org.uk though the old one in informatics works. Anyone linked to part of the tree rooted at http://www.bangor.ac.uk and ending in cpm or sculmath should update. -- Professor Emeritus R.
