Group theory in France (1870-1914)
星期三, 20 十一月, 2024 - 17:00
Résumé :
While the development of group theory up to 1870 and the French contributions on Lie groups have already been studied, the rest of the French contributions between 1870 and 1914 have not been the subject of a detailed historical study yet. However, the research on groups in France during this period is active, as I will show with a corpus of 200 French articles. I will describe these contributions and then present a cartography of the corpus as a whole. Finally, I will examine the case of finite groups and exhibit two main traditions in the work of French mathematicians.
