| Mar 5, 2010 at 4:24 | comment | added | Georges Elencwajg | Dear Emerton, you are fantastic! FGA 1 indeed contains the remark that the Amitsur complex is due to Amitsur, but the exactness in the faithfully flat case seems to be due to Grothendieck. I suggest you write an answer to that effect which I (and others) can then upvote. | |
| Mar 5, 2010 at 2:31 | comment | added | Emerton | Grothendieck describes a version of this argument in the FGA on flat descent (I think FGA I). You might want to look in there to see if he mentions Amitsur. (I can't remember now whether or not he does, but it is conceivable, since FGA does have more references to earlier work than some of Grothendieck's subsequent writings.) | |

| Mar 4, 2010 at 20:16 | comment | added | Georges Elencwajg | Thanks for the references, Gjergji. By the way, isn't Gjergji the equivalent of Georges in a language which I confess completely eludes me? It would be nice if we were namesakes :-) | |

| Mar 4, 2010 at 19:51 | comment | added | Gjergji Zaimi | Amitsur introduced the concept here: jstor.org/pss/1993268 right? | |
