Many analogies in mathematics are either linked by a larger generality that encompasses both (e.g. Galois groups and fundamental groups, linked many decades later by the étale fundamental group), or remain analogies forever (e.g. between proper curves over finite fields and number fields with their archimedean and non-archimedean places). I think it would be much more fruitful to look for a 'generalised geometric theory' that allows both as a special case. | |
