Jean-Pierre Serre (born September 15, 1926) was educated at the Lycée de Nimes[?] and then the Ecole Normale Supérieure[?] in Paris from 1945 to 1948.
Serre was awarded his doctorate from the Sorbonne in 1951.
Serre was awarded the Fields Medal in 1954, and was the first recipient of the Abel Prize in 2003 for his contributions to topology, algebraic geometry and number theory.

  Jean-Pierre Serre   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-03)
Jean-Pierre Serre (born September 15, 1926) is one of the leading mathematicians of the twentieth century, active in algebraic geometry, number theory and topology.
While Serre subsequently moved field - at this point he apparently thought that homotopy theory where he had started was already over-technical - Weyl's perception that the central place of classical analysis had been challenged by abstract algebra has subsequently been justified, as has his assessment of Serre's place in this change.
Serre was awarded the Fields Medal in 1954, and was the first recipient of the Abel Prize in 2003.

 Duality (mathematics) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In another group of dualities, the objects of one theory are translated into objects of another theory and the morphisms between objects in the first theory are translated into morphisms in the second theory, but with direction reversed.
Using a duality of this type, every statement in the first theory can be translated into a "dual" statement in the second theory, where the direction of all arrows has to be reversed.

 Serre duality - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In algebraic geometry, Serre duality is a duality present on non-singular projective algebraic varieties V of dimension n (and in greater generality) for vector bundles and the more general coherent sheaves.
Serre duality of curves is therefore something very classical; but it has interesting light to cast.
While the role of K above in general Serre duality is played by the determinant line bundle of the cotangent bundle, when V is a manifold, in full generality K cannot just be a single sheaf in the absence of some hypothesis of non-singularity on V.

 NationMaster - Encyclopedia: Derived category
Coherent duality in mathematics refers to a number of generalisations of Serre duality, applying to coherent sheaves, in algebraic geometry and complex manifold theory, as well as some aspects of commutative algebra that are part of the local theory.
In coherent sheaf theory, pushing to the limit of what could be done with Serre duality without the assumption of a non-singular scheme, the need to take a whole complex of sheaves became apparent.
In fact the Cohen-Macaulay ring condition, a weakening of non-singularity, corresponds to the existence of a single dualizing sheaf; and this is far from the general case.

Then for any coherent sheaf F on S we have a Serre duality isomorphism Hk(S; Hom(F; d)) = Hom (Hd-k(S; F); C): This can be seen as a special case of the Grothendieck duality theorem for a pr* *oper morphism [7], which is formulated in terms of functors between derived categories.

'''Coherent duality''' in mathematics refers to a number of generalisations of Serre+duality, applying to coherent+sheaves, in algebraic+geometry and complex+manifold theory, as well as some aspects of commutative+algebra that are part of the 'local' theory.
Then according to a general principle, Grothendieck%27s+relative+point+of+view, the theory of Jean-Pierre+Serre was extended to a proper+morphism; Serre duality was recovered as the case of the morphism of a non-singular projective+variety (or complete+variety) to a point.
While Serre duality uses a line+bundle or invertible+sheaf as a '''dualizing sheaf''', the general theory (it turns out) cannot be quite so simple.

 Coherent sheaf - Term Explanation on IndexSuche.Com
In the basic work of Serre, it was shown first that compact complex manifolds have the property that their sheaf_cohomology for any coherent sheaf consists of vector spaces of finite dimension.
The Serre result is the case of a morphism to a point (which is therefore already a deep result).
The duality theory in scheme_theory that extends Serre_duality is called coherent_duality (sometimes ''Grothendieck duality'').

 Georges Serré
In his studio in Sevres he produced a high quality, refined and very personal pottery, sometimes flawed and thus full of charm.
In his work one finds the duality between a close-to-earth, matter-sensitive human being and the strictness and perfection of the way of teaching in Sevres in 1902.
His work is characterized by two main trends : the pieces inspired by Emile Decoeur’s pottery and those in baked clay.

If one (or equivalently both) of the linked schemes is Cohen-Macaulay, Serre duality shows that the cohomology of the canonical module is expressible in terms of the cohomology of the scheme itself.
We here investigate the case where both schemes are not Cohen-Macaulay, and describe the behaviour of deficiency modules (the graded duals of cohomology modules) under liaison in the case of surfaces and three-folds.
This study relies on an extension of Serre duality to non Cohen-Macaulay coherent sheaves.

 On Generalizing a Theorem of Serre: A Case Study in the Duality Between Algebra and Topology   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-03)
In tandem with his computation of the cohomology of Eilenberg-MacLane spaces, J.P. Serre demonstrated that a simply connected space with finite mod 2 cohomology and with finitely many 2-components in its homotopy is, in modern parlance,
Recently, it was shown that Serre's methods could be dualized to demonstrate that his theorem holds for simply connected simplicial commutative algebras over a field of characteristic 2, with homotopy in place of cohomology and André-Quillen homology in place of the 2-components of homotopy.
In recent work aimed at generalizing Quillen's conjecture, a generalization of the algebraic Serre theorem was proved which relates the coconnectivity of the André-Quillen homology to the height of the action of certain Dwyer operations on the homotopy groups.

TIME: 4:10 PM (Tea at 3:45 PM) ABSTRACT: Duality is one of the fundamental concepts in mathematics.
From the basic duality for finite dimensional vector spaces it extends in many directions: Banach spaces and topological groups in analysis, Poincare duality in topology, Serre duality in algebraic geometry, and so on.
In the lecture I will sketch the basics of duality theory (with illuminating examples) and explain some applications in noncommutative ring theory.
