报告内容简介：Prof. A. Grothendieck passed away on Nov. 13, 2014. He was a genius in this century, a grand master in Functional analysis and algebraic geometry. However, in his last 20 years he lived as a hermit in Ariege --a small village isolated from his family, friends and mathematical community. Grothendieck was my mentor who arranged me to study mathematics in France. I will give some recollections of the years 1970-1979 when I lived and studied in France and my interactions
with him. I will also address why he abandoned mathematics in the talk. The talk is based on my ongoing book about Grothendieck’s life and work.
