What I meant was that algebraic group theorists were the ones who wrote introductory books from this functorial point of view ( another nice example being Waterhouse's Introduction to affine group schemes). I am not foolish enough to pontificate about which algebraic geometers do what in their research papers... | |
| Jan 19, 2011 at 15:55 | comment | added | Emerton | Dear Georges and Brian, Arithmetic geometers also use this view-point a lot. E.g. if memory serves, my first serious exposure to it was when reading Deligne--Rapoport and Katz on moduli of elliptic curves, and Mazur's Eisenstein Ideal paper (which does involve a lot of computations with group schemes (!) --- but finite flat commutative ones). Regards, Matthew | |
