Zoran: you may like to add (or not) Deligne, Hinich, Pirashvili, Kontsevich, Drinfeld, Schechtman, Lyubashenko, Bondal among principal actives…and Hilbert, John Moore, Puppe, Buchsbaum, Heller, Leray, Steenrod, (even Cayley) among inactives…and finally Bourn, Janelidze etc. if you include nonabelian homological algebra…and Schreier, Giraud, Dedecker, Breen if nonabelian cohomology. Some people are famous mainly for a single but important contribution (Harrison, Spaltenstein, Shukla…).
Reply: Thanks for your list. I added the names. AJ
