Zusammenfassung
André Weil is associated more with number theory or algebraic geometry than with algebraic topology. But the latter was very much on his mind during a substantial part of his career. This led him first to contributions to algebraic topology proper, in a differential geometric setting, and then also to the use in abstract algebraic geometry and several complex variables of ideas borrowed from it.
Lecture given at the Institute for Advanced Study on January 8, 1999, at a Conference on André Weil’s Work and its influence, January 8-9, 1999.
