L'héritage d'Alexandre Grothendieck. Avec Alain Connes.

A virtuoso mathematician, environmental activist, and later author of writings on meditation and mysticism, Grothendieck's life story continues to fascinate, irritate, and inspire even today. What mathematical and philosophical legacy did he leave behind? With Alain Connes, mathematician, professor emeritus at the Collège de France, and member of the French Academy of Sciences. He wrote the preface to "Hidden Years," a collection of previously unpublished letters exchanged between Grothendieck and a close friend, Christian Escriva, published by Odile Jacob. ▀▀▀ • Newsletter: https://www.grandlabo.com/#newsletter • Support Grand Labo on Ulule: https://fr.ulule.com/grandlabo/ • Subscribe to the channel:    / @grandlabo   ▀▀▀ 00:00: "Will we continue scientific research?" 02:11: Grothendieck's first steps into the world of mathematicians 06:32: Grothendieck and the "Bourbaki" group 13:21: The discovery of "topos" 17:36: Grothendieck and the scientific community: the clash 21:30: "We must change course!" 23:21: Grothendieck and mysticism 24:45: Who are his heirs today? 31:45: Letter from Alain Connes to Alexandre Grothendieck 35:38: Outro & announcements ▀▀▀ You can find Alain Connes's lectures at the Collège de France, as part of his Chair in Analysis and Geometry, from 1984 to 2017, here: https://www.college-de-france.fr/fr/c... ▀▀▀ • Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/grandlabo.com • LinkedIn:   / grand-labo   • Mastodon: https://mastodon.social/@grandlabo • Instagram:   / grdlabo   ▀▀▀ 🎧 Grand Labo as a podcast: • Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast... • Deezer: https://www.deezer.com/fr/show/100146... • Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/2WcaqnE... • Amazon Music: https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/77c... ▀▀▀ Grand Labo is a podcast channel about science hosted by Mathieu Rouault, an independent science journalist.
