Life

In 1978 Gabber received a Ph.D. (Some theorems on Azumaya algebras) under the supervision of Barry Mazur from Harvard University. He was then in 1984 at the IHES in Bures-sur-Yvette in Paris, where he was a leading figure of the tradition of algebraic geometry in the sense of Alexander Grothendieck's, who had worked in the 1960s at the IHES.
