"He was considered for the Fields Medal in 1958, but a forceful member of the selection committee in whose eyes Thom was a Bourbakist was determined not to have two. So HarishChandra, whom he also placed on the Bourbaki camp, was set aside." publications.ias.edu/rpl_works/L12/frs/harish2-ps.pdf | |
