[edit] Comment
His last name should be spelled differently: Drinfel'd (note where apostroph is!). Russian original: Владимир Дринфельд. I am correcting this.

Apparently Drinfel'd couldn't get a visa to speak at Berkeley, so Pierre Cartier gave the lecture in his place, from Drinfel'd's notes (with one days notice..). Can someone confirm this?
