Mar 2, 2016 at 10:21 comment added user9072 Thanks for the offer. One cannot transfer files via chat. But I am not an expert anyway, so I can easily wait for the "official" release of your work (on website, preprint server, journal).
Mar 2, 2016 at 10:17 comment added Mikhail Katz @quid, we are writing a related article. If you are interested I can send you a copy if this sort of thing can be done via chat (I have never done it before).
Mar 2, 2016 at 10:16 comment added user9072 This seems plausible. Some proceedings of seminars were published in this series.
Mar 2, 2016 at 9:35 comment added Mikhail Katz @quid, I read both texts and they are quite different. The first is perhaps a record of a talk at Strasbourg?

Feb 22, 2016 at 0:19 comment added user9072 It is tangential but from the bibliographic data the first version looks like a preprint version of the latter.

Feb 21, 2016 at 9:45 comment added Mikhail Katz @PeterLeFanuLumsdaine, Reeb's texts are written in rather difficult French. Even though I feel myself competent in French (and have taught math in French for many years), these texts are open to interpretation and are not purely mathematical ones. You could perhaps say that they are meta-mathematical in the best sense of the word. And he certainly does not claim that Bourbaki made his "claim Q".
Feb 21, 2016 at 9:45 comment added Vladimir Kanovei It is not out of question that `an MO answerer' reads Reeb from different angle and hence is able to fruitfully answer the topicstarter questions.
Feb 21, 2016 at 9:37 comment added Peter LeFanu Lumsdaine From your last sentence, you seem to have two actual questions here: (1) “is it really true that there is no Nelson-style justification in Reeb?” and (2) “what ultimately is Reeb’s own argument?” Of these, (1) seems a clear and in principle answerable question, perfectly appropriate. But (2) seems open-ended to the point of unanswerability: if you have read Reeb’s papers and don’t feel they give a clear answer, then how can an MO answerer know what will satisfy you? I suggest it would be helpful to either remove or clarify (2).
