The handout with the articles for yesterday’s three talks. It is very hard to find these unless you are actually at the seminar.
Saturday I attended the afternoon portion of the Seminaire Bourbaki at the Institut Henri Poincare in Paris. The Seminaire Bourbaki was started in 1948 by the Association des collaborateurs de Nicolas Bourbaki. The collaborative (who published many texts under the pseudonym Nicolas Bourbaki) was founded by Henri Cartan, Claude Chevalley, Jean Coulomb, Jean Delsarte, Jean Dieudonné, Charles Ehresmann, René de Possel, Szolem Mandelbrojt, and André Weil in 1935. The seminars (which happen a few times a year) feature speakers talking about new developments in mathematics, and rarely do they speak about their own results or work. Rather, it is a chance for exposition on a current and “hot” topic. I was excited to be in Paris exactly when this was happening, so I decided to check it out.
