| Jan 25, 2021 at 20:40 | comment | added | Gil Kalai | What about a question: "A mathematical theory you would like to see developed." Or perhaps "Mathematical theory you would like to learn (if somebody would just develop them...)" | |

| Feb 5, 2011 at 16:59 | comment | added | inkspot | Mumford's "Lectures on curves on an algebraic surface" is a great solution to 5), different from and (for me) more geometrically appealing than Demazure and Gabriel. | |

| Feb 1, 2011 at 15:03 | comment | added | Gil Kalai | Maybe there is a place for the dual question: "Books you would like to write (if somebody would just read them)" so people can mention their book ideas and get some feedback. | |
| Feb 1, 2011 at 0:07 | comment | added | Joseph O'Rourke | It strikes me that many of the knowledgeable participants who made wonderfully detailed suggestions for a book on a coherent topic from a particular viewpoint, are well-positioned to write the very book they wish to read! | |

| Jan 24, 2011 at 15:58 | comment | added | Qiaochu Yuan | It boggles my mind that nobody has written 5) yet. Shouldn't one of Grothendieck's students be doing this or something? | |
| Jan 24, 2011 at 15:31 | comment | added | Andrea Ferretti | @Tom: Sadly Lack's account is hardly an introduction to 2-categories, skipping even the definitions (!) and all motivation. It would be even less suitable for a "working mathematician". | |

| Jan 24, 2011 at 14:16 | comment | added | Gonçalo Marques | Thank you for your suggestions I will look for Katz and Deligne's articles. I am aware of Freitag and Kiehl's textbook, unfortunately it's a hard to find. I was thinking of a textbook that would use the Weil conjectures as a "leitmotiv" while introducing some of the more modern characters in algebraic geometry. But maybe it can't be done (at least at level I would understand...). | |

| Jan 24, 2011 at 12:44 | comment | added | Emerton | Regarding the Weil conjectures, have you read the appendix to Hartshorne that discusses these? If so, you could also try Nick Katz's exposition on Deligne's work in the Hilbert's Problems book (in the Proceedings of Symposia in Pure Math series) from the 1970s. Also, Deligne's article Weil I is less technical than you might guess, and there is also the textbook by Freitag and Kiehl. | |

| Jan 24, 2011 at 12:28 | comment | added | Gonçalo Marques | Thanks Dylan. Tim: it would be great indeed if JB would publish his "higher algebra" but his past expository work is already amazing. Tom: I am aware of that paper (and you also have some sections about it on your wonderful book) but I was thinking about a full textbook presentation that might have more examples and applications. | |

| Jan 24, 2011 at 10:51 | comment | added | Tim van Beek | Yeah, but as most of you probably already know, JB won't write (2) nor his projected "higher algebra", because he thinks that he worked off his debt by writing all those expository papers... | |
