Research topics

Which keywords describe Alexander Grothendieck's research?

The keywords of their largest research topics: Symplectic Geometry, Deformations, Hom-Lie Algebras, Historical Sources, Mathematics Education, Deformation Quantization, Geometry and Hyperbolic.

Size is their works in the topics tagged with each word, from their 8 largest topics. Each links to the topic it comes from most. The words come from the keyword list OpenAlex gives each topic, not from the text of the papers, so a word can appear that none of the papers uses.
