I am trying to find an English translation of J.-P. Serre, Géométrie algébrique et géométrie analytique (GAGA). However, I am unable to find a translation searching for it in google. Does anybody know about any existing translation?

  • $\begingroup$ @Satan'sMinion Yeah, I was aware of that translation of FAC, thank you anyway ^^. But the translators don't seem to have translated GAGA as well. $\endgroup$ Feb 19, 2023 at 15:32

    $\begingroup$ Fair enough. If you're seriously interested in this kind of math, you will need to learn enough French to read these papers anyway. ;) $\endgroup$ Feb 19, 2023 at 15:33

    $\begingroup$ I know this isn't the answer you are looking for, but you only need to learn a small number of words in French and a sprinkling of grammar to read Serre's papers, his writing style is quite simple. $\endgroup$ Feb 19, 2023 at 17:36

Okay, on the internet archive I've found this (the file is .dvi, I converted it to pdf here). This translation was uploaded to the no longer existing personal webpage of Trevor Arnold at the McMaster University (his webpage is held on the internet archive). But not the file nor Arnold's webpage say who translated it. If anyone has any info about the translator identity, that would be nice to know :)
