Pierre Deligne Papers: Modern LaTeX Drafts and English Translation Drafts

Dedicated Deligne record for the Modern LaTeX Editions of Mathematics Manuscripts project. This page is separate from the main corpus so Deligne material can be cited, revised, or reorganized independently.

The top-level files are reader-facing and are intentionally English-first where an English translation is present. Individual English paper PDFs, selected French source/working PDFs, and separate correspondence items are exposed for direct download. Broader reference PDFs and TeX/source artifacts are kept in ZIP files rather than cluttering the front-facing reader list.

Status at a glance. The record has three visible lanes. Substantial working surface: forward paper stream: source-checked working readers cover papers 001-013 within the declared working-reader scope, paper 014 through page 30, paper 015 within the declared working-reader scope, and paper 016 through page 40 in the sequential cumulative reader; paper 016 is not yet complete. Stated scope represented: reverse paper stream: source-checked working readers cover papers 090 down through 079 within the declared reverse-stream scope and paper 078 pages 1-12 started. Stated scope represented: correspondence lane: twelve Deligne letter/correspondence readers are present in English, each paired with a French working/source PDF. Original/reference and provenance material is preserved in ZIP artifacts and older/raw provenance versions. These are working scholarly transcriptions and translation drafts, not a critical edition and not proofed mathematical certification.

Known weak points. Diagram-heavy Deligne papers can require commutative diagrams and dense displays to be rebuilt from the source rather than trusted from flattened, OCR-derived, or visually plausible output. The Deligne corpus is mixed: some early sequential papers, later descending packets, and letters are useful working drafts or geometry-witness packages, while other papers remain rough-draft/source-witness material. Verify important diagrams, formulas, theorem statements, and references against the included source witnesses.

Latest update. Promoted the forward sequential cumulative reader to papers 001-016 through page 40, with a refreshed source-scan/TeX/QA packet. Also added reverse-stream Paper 078 pages 1-12 in English/French, with a refreshed 078-090 TeX/scan/QA source ZIP. The current version is kept at Zenodo's 100-file cap by replacing superseded current-version files and moving bulky provenance back to previous DOI/raw-provenance layers rather than adding duplicates.
