Saving old papers on CT

[streicher@mathematik.tu-darmstadt.de]

I am also curious about the Laval notes by Lawvere.
Dusko made this remark that some of the old stuff may be more fun to read.
I do not want to comment on that but it could be that certain things had
more charm when they were still fresh as in the 70s.

In this context I want to bring up the issue of retyping some old stuff of
Benabou and alike which I have made accessible via my homepage some time
ago with the help of my former student J. Weinberger.
It is

Benabou's Montreal lectures (1974)

Benabou's Louvain-la-Neuve lectures (1980)

And the Theses of Celeyrette (197) and of Moens (1982)

as well as Chaper 1 of his never finished book Jon Fibered Categories
(about 100 pages).

I noticed that there was quite some interest in particular among younger
colleagues.

Therefore it might be worthwhile to save these things by publishing them
as TAC reprints.

I am fully aware that Jean was a controversial figure in his days. But he
also had quite some influence and his work on fibered categories is of
lasting value.

So I think it would be a service to the community to save this work in
particular because it was never formally published.

Hoping for a positive reaction,
Thomas
