Re: Smooth and proper functors

["Jonathan CHICHE 齐正航" <jonathan.chiche@polytechnique.edu>]

Hi,

The following paper is very clear, I'm currently learning the basics  
of the subject with it: http://people.math.jussieu.fr/~maltsin/ps/ 
asphbl.ps. It's written in French. Another member of this mailing- 
list has asked me to translate it in English, I may be able to send  
you a rough translation in a few weeks.

Best,

Jonathan
