| Nov 5, 2019 at 14:01 | comment | added | Joël | About 2. There was basically only one university allowed to deliver PhD in Paris then, known as "la Sorbonne". Notably, the École Normale Supérieure was not (and is still not) allowed to deliver PhD. The separation of the Sorbonne between several universities specialized for some in Humanities, for other in Science (such as Paris VI, Paris VII, and in the suburbs Paris-Sud=Paris XI=Orsay, etc.) came later, in 1960's. Now these universities are in a reunification process. | |

| Apr 6, 2010 at 10:33 | comment | added | Pete L. Clark | @Olivier: By coincidence I had been corresponding with Colliot-Thélène earlier today, and a few hours ago I sent him an email which drew his attention to this question. So you needn't ask him if you haven't already. | |
| Apr 6, 2010 at 10:09 | comment | added | Frank | I remember reading somewhere that at that time in France, doctorates took 5-8 years; so it's not unlikely that the war had no affect on his doctoral work. | |

| Apr 6, 2010 at 8:40 | comment | added | Olivier | I think the question about why so few students is easily answered: french mathematicians had very little incentives to take students at the time (check how many students had Serre). Nonetheless, I will ask Colliot-Thélène about it. | |
