EGA — English translation

An idiomatic, LLM-generated English translation (Markdown, Unicode mathematics) of Grothendieck and Dieudonné's Éléments de Géométrie Algébrique (Publications mathématiques de l'IHÉS, 1960–1967).

Volumes

  • i/ — Chapter I: The Language of Schemes
  • ii/ — Chapter II: Elementary Global Study of Some Classes of Morphisms
  • iii/ — Chapter III: Cohomological Study of Coherent Sheaves
  • iv/ — Chapter IV: Local Study of Schemes and of Schemes Morphisms
  • v/ — Chapter V (unpublished; reconstructed material)

Each volume directory has its own README.md with status, contents, and translation notes.

Translation principles

  • Preserve EGA's historical terminology (notably prescheme / scheme); inline the modern gloss on first occurrence per section, and keep a per-volume glossary.md ledger.
  • Preserve EGA's decimal numbering exactly: (N.M.K) within a chapter, (0, N.M.K) for Chapter 0 references, (I, N.M.K) for cross-chapter references.
  • Mark original page transitions inline as HTML comments (<!-- original page n -->).
  • Revise prose for English mathematical idiom while preserving Grothendieck's architectural voice.

Source

The French source text was drawn from the Grothendieck Circle's archive of Grothendieck's published writings: https://webusers.imj-prg.fr/~leila.schneps/grothendieckcircle/pubtexts.php.
