Serre: algebraic geometry and analytic geometry (GAGA)

What changed

Established projective algebraic–analytic equivalence and matching coherent-sheaf cohomology.

Scientific scope

The record is Serre’s sole-author 1956 Annales de l’Institut Fourier paper. It does not assert equivalence for arbitrary nonproper spaces, absorb earlier analytic geometry or later GAGA generalizations and algebraization theorems.
