Linear groups in Galois fields. A case study of tacit circulation of explicit knowledge
Frederic Brechenmacher
This preprint is the extended version of a paper that will be published in the proceedings of the Oberwolfach conference "Explicit vs tacit knowledge in mathematics" (January 2012)…
Galois Got his Gun
Frederic Brechenmacher
This paper appeals to the figure of Évariste Galois for investigating the gates between mathematics and their "publics." The figure of Galois draws some lines of/within mathematics…
On Jordan's measurements
Frederic Brechenmacher
The Jordan measure, the Jordan curve theorem, as well as the other generic references to Camille Jordan's (1838-1922) achievements highlight that the latter can hardly be reduced t…
Algebraic generality vs arithmetic generality in the controversy between C. Jordan and L. Kronecker (1874)
Frederic Brechenmacher
Throughout the whole year of 1874, C. Jordan and L. Kronecker were quarrelling over two theorems. On the one hand, Jordan had stated in 1870 a canonical form theorem for substituti…
