Quotes

• “The numerical relations existing between ordinary or so-called Plückerian singularities of a plane curve were determined as early as 1834 by P, but the inverse question has been left almost untouched. It may be stated thus: To show the existence of a curve having assigned Plückerian characters; and is equivalent to the determination of the maximum of cusps κM that a curve of order m and genus p may have. V ... has solved the question for rational curves.”
• “It will be remembered that the positions on a Riemann surface are treated by Hensel, Landsberg, and Jung as arithmetical divisors. At bottom the associated symbolical operations are in no sense different from those that occur in connection with the Noether-Brill theory of groups of points, elements being merely multiplied instead of added.”
• “As is well known, when one endeavors to pass from one-dimensional birational geometry to the higher dimensions, the difficulties multiply enormously. Many results do not extend at all, or if they do, they are apt to assume a far more complicated aspect or else to demand most difficult proofs.”
• “It was my lot to plant the harpoon of algebraic topology into the body of the whale of algebraic geometry.”
