He studied at the École Normale Supérieure in Paris under Henri Cartan and André Weil. Since his 1958 thesis on algebraic geometry he has 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 groups. He is the eponym of Cartier divisors and Cartier duality.
From 1961 to 1971 he was at Strasbourg. He was awarded the Ampere Prize of the French Academy of Sciences in 1979. In 2012 he became a fellow of the American Mathematical Society.
