YALL I NEEDED A SPECIFIC TECHNICAL RESULT FOR THE PAPER I’M WORKING ON SO I LOOKED IT UP AND SOMEONE PUBLISHED IT LITERALLY LESS THAN SIX MONTHS AGO

Why did the hyperbolic geodesics keep intersecting? Because they wouldn’t let bigons be bigons 😂😂🤣😂

I need to learn about the representation theory of GL(n,C) for a research project but have almost no rep theory background; could I ask for recommendations for books on rep theory of algebraic groups that would be beginner-accessible?

Me, an additive combinatorist, realizing I can fix my broken proof if I just make one of the constants really stupidly big

Love spending a week trying to prove something only to find out it’s not true

Learning about how if you went for a walk in hyperbolic space you’d feel your body being stretched/squished horizontally whenever you sped up or slowed down and if you went fast enough you could be literally torn apart

Question for mathematicians: how many hours a day do you spend on research during periods of time when you have no other major work commitments (e.g. teaching)? Does the answer change on weekends?

Lmao I’m doing this number theory proof and the primes aren’t quite where I want them and I’m realizing I can just…move the primes. (Specifically, I can take a translation)

The more math research I do the more I realize it’s just about oscillating between these two states
