He studied at the [[École Normale Supérieure]] in [[Paris]] under [[Henri Cartan]] and [[André Weil]].<ref>{{MathGenealogy |id=56562 |name=Pierre Cartier }}</ref> After his 1958 [[thesis]] on algebraic geometry, he worked in a number of fields. He is known for the introduction of the [[Cartier operator]] in algebraic geometry in characteristic ''p'', and for work on duality of [[abelian varieties]] and on [[formal group]]s. He is the eponym of [[Cartier divisor]]s and [[Cartier duality]]. From 1961 to 1971, he was a professor at the [[University of Strasbourg]]. In 1970 he was an Invited Speaker at the [[International Congress of Mathematicians]] in [[Nice]].<ref>{{cite book|author=Cartier, Pierre|chapter=Groupes formels, fonctions automorphes et fonctions zeta des courbes elliptiques|title=''In:'' Actes des Congrés intern.
