What is geometry? Some case studies in 19th- and 20th-century mathematics
By Rossana Tazzioli , Ciro Ciliberto
Appears in collection : Reductive groups and automorphic forms. Dedicated to the French school of automorphic forms and in memory of Roger Godement.
I will discuss the work of Roger Godement. I will present the part of his work which is not accessible to the general public because it consists of letters or private notes. I will try to stress the influence of Godement on the theory of automorphic representations.
