Re: Another question on Grothendieck

Hi - Grothendieck introduces, on the top of p. 209 of the Tohoku paper, the

notation U_{i_0..i_p} without explanation and uses it again over the next couple pages. Here {U_i} is an open cover of a space X and I have reason to believe that this stands for the intersection of U_{i_j}. Can anyone confirm this?

That's certainly what everyone uses this notation for nowadays, so it sounds like a very good guess. Best, jb [For admin and other information see: http://www.mta.ca/~cat-dist/ ]
