| Oct 24, 2020 at 16:06 | comment | added | Hollis Williams | I disagree. The title is objective: he is simply saying that he has realised that the conjecture is false when one thinks carefully about it and that this escaped the attention of Hodge in formulating it. I don't see the arrogance in that title, although I have seen it other works of Grothendieck that I have read. | |
| Feb 6, 2018 at 19:48 | comment | added | David E Speyer | Grothendieck's paper is 5 pages, and seems to explain itself pretty clearly. | |
| Feb 6, 2018 at 17:10 | comment | added | Mikhail Katz | If there is a paper explaining what Grothendieck actually says here, it may be worth mentioning the number of pages thereof :-) | |
| May 8, 2011 at 14:50 | comment | added | Todd Trimble | I don't think it's offensive at all -- all one has to do is read a few words of the paper to see that Grothendieck is merely performing a small but useful service. The title is catchy enough that one is easily invited to discover just that. | |
| May 2, 2011 at 22:12 | comment | added | Lennart Meier | It is a modest title (though it might be taken to be offensive) - he doesn't say: "The Hodge Conjecture is false for very deep reasons and only I could have disproved it." | |
| Dec 28, 2010 at 21:44 | comment | added | Joël | I dissent. This title is arrogant and vulgar ("trivial" is a ugly word), unworthy of Grothendieck who invented a lot of beautiful, decently modest, and often informative title, such as "Sur quelques points d'algèbre homologique" or "Récoltes et semailles", or "à la poursuite des champs". | |
| Oct 31, 2010 at 16:35 | comment | added | Suvrit | That is indeed a great title! | |
| Oct 31, 2010 at 15:58 | comment | added | Gunnar Þór Magnússon | I love that title so much. | |
