I was very close with his top collaborator. They were the [[Jim Watson|Watson]] and [[Francis Crick|Crick]] of mathematics to me. They rewrote my whole life. | |||

|content=I completely agree with your assessment of the magnitude of the world's loss here. But who, in your view, was Atiyah's "top collaborator"? Bott, perhaps? Singer? Someone else? He shared credit with a large number of co-workers in his published work. (I'd vote for Bott, myself.) | |||

|content=Are you anywhere near SF? I gotta hear your argument for Atiyah [[Raoul Bott|Bott]]. The main flaw on that wall IMO is the absence of [[Raoul Bott|Bott Periodicity]]. Other issues: Tits Freudenthal, the main Elliptic Deformation Complexes, Hopf Fibration, etc.. | |||
 | |||
But Bott Periodicity is beyond mind blowing. | |||

|content=Yes, I reside in Mountain View, and get up to SF with some frequency. And I don't mean to make an argument for Atiyah-Bott, exactly; it's more of a feeling, born mostly of personal observation, that Atiyah-Bott had a much deeper aesthetic affinity than did Atiyah-Singer (say.) | |||

[[Michael Atiyah|Atiyah]] and [[Ed Witten|Witten]] tended to tell you something related to whatever you asked but often not in a dialogue. More like a juke box of answers. | |||

|content=One reason I largely kept quiet about my story is respect for both men. They both defended and believed in the system. But, in part they believed in it BECAUSE they were so powerful that they could act as an underground railroad when that system failed: | |||

|content=So, in part, I'm their collaboration. Raoul was not my advisor. He had no real idea what I was doing. But he was far more than that. Is was my shtarker. My ace in the hole. | |||
They worked as a team to help me; their failure to talk directly was the main clue I had of anything amiss. | |||

|content=Lastly, there is the matter of my wedding. Is came to our event but I didn't invite Raoul. I did not understand what he had done for me. It is one of the biggest mistakes of my life. When the internet tries to insist to me that I am his student, I want to tell them what happend. | |||

|content=The truth is that I would have been proud to be the student of '''Raoul Bott'''. I would have a storied lineage to claim. | |||
The truth is '''Raoul''' gave me his name for a self-advised thesis. And like a fool I resented it. Yet how much greater is the man who lends his last name to a Bastard. | |||

|content=In any event. I miss Is very much, but never expected to see him again. And I'm wrestling w the idea that I'm now free to tell my own story after 25yrs of saying very little in public. One of the reasons I don't take kindly to internet warfare is that I have large debts to pay. | |||

|content=The more I subject myself to mindless politics, catfighting, shadowbanning & trolling, the harder it is to fight for others/myself and to pay the debts to the giants who rescued me along my way. I don't know how I'd have done w/o them. | |||
But I needed to grow this voice to do it. | |||

|content=Lastly, I used to have a relationship to a very different @nytimes. Thus when I read Is' obituarty I was shocked to see @julierehmeyer's beautiful tribute including my own quotes on Is. It made me sad to think about how much has been lost. Sadly, those quotes came from long ago. | |||

|content=@anisomorphism @Javlaskitstovel Sure it starts with [[Raoul Bott|Bott]] & Tu. With a little May. Before you know it? Youâre. hitting the harder stuff. Hartshorne leads to EGA & SGA. Next? They find you in a gutter, begging to do even just a little of Jacksonâs E&M to make the withdrawal symptoms go away. | |||
Even for a moment⊠| |||
