[rigid mason]

you know, i learned

that life is too long

to die young

[warm umbra]

cherish those moments

[rigid mason]

OH I WONT

i will cherish, 3 years ago

well no, 4 years

5

5 is nice.

i was 12

[warm umbra]

yeah i hit rock bottom recently too, but im still grateful to be in the position that I am and I know that things will get better, for the both of us; no matter how low we feel right now

[rigid mason]

well no its bad, 6

[rigid mason]

it will get better

one day.

[warm umbra]

The future looks bright for us my friend

Lets do right with ourselves and keep working to be better nonetheless

[rigid mason]

will i survive till then, thats the question

[warm umbra]

you will

we both will

[rigid mason]

they all want to survive

none do

all i have left is my head

[limpid bridge]

do we have channel for programmer ?

iirc there is in the past

[rigid mason]

why?

you wanna code?

[limber thunder]

we have the https://discord.com/channels/268882317391429632/1213610885277421588 thread where you can discuss code and tech

[limpid bridge]

tks

[limber thunder]

I don't remember this server having a similar channel before

[strange dagger]

this is a testimony that hard work pays of and you don't need to listen to people all the time as they will alway try to stop you
closing the day with a sale of 6k i know are coming in this way

[warm umbra]

i think we will grow to be good friends

we both like to yap

but we have an idea, and thats all a society needs in order to be better

the revolution is upon us.

[static storm]

How to represent the fact that k is a non-zero real number using set-theoretic notation?

[stark trench]

$k \in \bR \land k \neq 0$

[fathom swallow]

magma

[stark trench]

if you don’t have \neq, just replace it with \neg(k = 0)

[icy heron]

or just $k \in \Bbb R \setminus {0}$

[cinder zephyr]

you need turing machines or like DFAs / NFAs?

for DFAs / NFAs this exists: https://madebyevan.com/fsm/

maybe this could give a good approximation to what you need

for actual tape machines idk, maybe you can google and modify some Tikz code

[sonic sentinel]

i finally solved the 3b1b chessboard coins thingy problem after some years of seeing the problem but not the solution

(i think i watched the solution video then stopped in the middle cause it was too boring? then i started thinking about it now again for some reason)

((i wasn't grinding on the problem for years straight dw))

i realized you could look at the parity of ||rows and columns to get two 8-bits where you have to flip one of each independently, then i realized you could also do this with a 4x4x4 cube to get three 4-bits, and then i realized that you could use a 2x2x2x2x2x2 6d hypercube||

i thought this was some absurd way to think about a more normal 2d-based solution

skimmed through the 3b1b solution video, nope, was also talking about hypercubes.

Guys think possible to get a machine learning engineer job with a degree in applied mathematics?

[solid snow]

yes

[undone vigil]

i can be someone personal teacher at a price

[solid snow]

no

[limber thunder]

yes absolutely, plenty of people go from applied math into corporate ML or data jobs, if you're still working toward your degree make sure you take courses related to data analysis, inferential statistics and opportunities where you can work on code implementations e.g. in electives or internships

[sick parrot]

no you have to do it for free

[limber thunder]

you can also get a fairly good grasp of theoretical ML/neural networks with a math background

an introductory, and free book is https://mml-book.github.io, another more advanced (think grad level/state-of-the-art monograph) one is https://www.cambridge.org/core/books/mathematical-aspects-of-deep-learning/8D9B41D1E9BB8CA515E93412EECC2A7E

[old oak]

Alright, how much will you pay me?

[limber thunder]

(those books won't replace actual MLops experience but if your uni doesn't provide learning opportunities for that, take online courses and build some personal projects)

[loud hamlet]

How come when people at my college ask for my math class (which is just beginning trigonometry) once they hear I’m a math major, they don’t feel like talking with me or rather withhold information when I ask questions about upper-division mathematics?

[solid snow]

how can we answer this

[limber thunder]

you ask them about upper div maths? maybe they aren't math majors and just are required to take trig

• other first year or so courses

in my experience most people either don't care about maths, or are traumatized by it from HS, or are supportive about you studying maths but don't really understand it lol

you kinda need to accept that and hopefully meet other mathematicians along the way

Why does arccos(sqrt(3)/2) with interval 0 greater than or equal to x greater than or equal to pi equal pi/6 and not equal 5pi/6? I'm getting so confused, as 5pi/6 is in the interval 0 greater than or equal to x greater than or equal to pi.

[solid snow]

cos(5pi/6) is not sqrt(3)/2

Well, duh. To be more specific, what makes certain math programs stronger than others?

[split birch]

if their maths is stronger

[split birch]

if they uh teach more too

[elfin smelt]

more courses offered, more seminars, more faculty. you can usually find this info on their websites or by finding a ranking of unis by how strong their math programs are

[royal stirrup]

Alright, thank you!

[loud hamlet]

BA in mathematics?

I wish my college offered a BS in mathematics 😦

[sharp mulch]

BA vs BS doesn’t matter

[loud hamlet]

Some job descriptions convey a Bachelor of Science as a necessity, so I'm just sad that there's a comparison.

Also a BS in mathematics would review applications of mathematics, which would suit me more...

[solid snow]

Jobs will put anything as requirements or qualifications

Its often never actually completely necessary

Not that the distinction is even useful a lot of the times

“Top rate” schools like harvard frequently only offer a “BA”

[leaden torrent]

if a prospective employer is distinguishing between BS and BAs in mathematics, they are not worth working for

since they do not know what theyre doing

as for this:

Also a BS in mathematics would review applications of mathematics
i think this is only really true of schools that offer both

if a school offers only one i wouldnt assume anything about the difference

[solar hawk]

What’s the difference?

What’s a BS and a BA

Oh

[hazy mural]

does anyone know if theres a way to rotate a function by an arbitrary angle?

ive beb thinking about this for a while

[limber thunder]

as in rotating its graph?

[solar hawk]

Maybe write it as a parametric and then put it through a rotation matrix

Or something

[limber thunder]

I'd also think of smth like this

[hazy mural]

like i know you can rotate vectors ysing matrices but i dunno about rotating a function

[hazy mural]

yeah like rotating the graph

[solar hawk]

Yeah

[hazy mural]

wait maybe you could convert to polar coordinates and then add the arbitrary angle to all the x's

i think that would work

the ones not listed in #info are mostly for technical purposes, except for Senior Moderators which aren't in the list only because we haven't updated it

some I remember and which are ok to explain are ω (admins), μ (the actual perms for senior mod, allowing us to take a break by removing the color role whenever), ∞ (people who lost very active and request access to the active VC basically), — (people blocked from posting in the advanced channels for shitposting)

Hello,
I am a high school student, and my level in mathematics is very weak. I feel that I need to relearn math from the very beginning in order to rebuild a strong foundation.

what does suspicion thing on someone on some silly things means? is it for fun or serious? like "The user is suspicion to be dumb as shit or bloodless fighter jet pilot." and also I have seen some serious things like "the user is suspected to affliated with terrorist organization or hacker organization"

[mint canopy]

It is a joke

People write it in their own profiles as a joke

Because it is a funny thought

[wide orbit]

oh

but the terrorist and hacker is it also joke?

[mint canopy]

Yes.

It is a joke.

[wide orbit]

oh

my

god

I thought it was something very serious lol

tq for clarity

then discord don't mention anyone like that in their profile

?

[mint canopy]

They do not.

Because as I said, it's a joke

[wide orbit]

also why the moderators name changing in the members panel from time to time and not all moderators are shown there

[mint canopy]

People are free to change their nicknames whenever they like.

Some people do not select the 'online' status on discord and therefore do not show up on members lists as online

Such as me.

[wide orbit]

ohh

[mint canopy]

I don't want children seeing my name and DMing me about maths problems

A lot of people accomplish it in seconds

[mint canopy]

I will forever maintain that blocking people is self-care

[vocal vessel]

Can we compare?

[old oak]

Well yeah, but you spend a lot of time in #discussion , so you have unfair advantage

[vocal vessel]

Most of my blocks are from other servers tho 😅

[fresh comet]

my block list still totals to zero

[old oak]

You might be literally a saint

[pure hollow]

this might change drastically if you were to be there

[fresh comet]

my friends list though

[pure hollow]

same here

[fresh comet]

it’s like 300 something

[old oak]

That's what I mean, probably about 25% of my blocks come from #discussion , and I go there like once a week

[fresh comet]

do the other 75% come from cranks in the various math channels?

[vocal vessel]

You pass my vibe check.

Advice. Avoid #chill

[pure hollow]

wow you really hate discussy that's fair enough

[old oak]

Nah, I rarely block cranks, they entertain me; exceptions if they go aggressive or just repetitive.

[vocal vessel]

Sometimes I open chill and it's a blank screen with like "90 blocked messages" on it.

[old oak]

I don't hate discussy, I just hate a lot of the discussiers

[fresh comet]

where do the blocks come from then?

[pure hollow]

that's fair enough

[old oak]

A random assortment of channels, mostly the general ones.

Another sizeable contingent is the people who try to turn #calculus into a worse #discussion

[pure hollow]

what is the metric for cranks here?

[vocal vessel]

I honestly only really block homophobes and children...

[old oak]

Yeah, that's another sizeable contingent in my case as well

Also I don't really keep a tally, that would be excessive

I'm just specifying those categories by vibes

[old oak]

People who claim to have solved a long-standing conjecture/developed some other general breakthrough/uncovered a flaw in the foundation of mathematics.

Bonus points, and lots of them, if LLMs are involved

[vocal vessel]

ChatGPT proved collatz for me...

[old oak]

Although LLMs usually make it easier for me to get annoyed enough to block them; I much prefer artisanal, organic crankery

[vocal vessel]

Bespoke crankery 🤣

[old oak]

The LLM cranks are all made out of ticky-tacky, and they all look just the same.

[hardy iron]

I prefer those with hand drawn diagrams, on papers

[pure hollow]

I much prefer artisanal, organic crankery
this is beautiful...

[fresh comet]

I shall use my army of alts to conjure up some crankery

[old oak]

It doesn't realy work when done on purpose.

Confirmation bias might of course be at play here, but I feel it's quite hard to fake being a crank

[pure hollow]

I might be able to cook some crankery provided I can do math which I apparently can't

[old oak]

You need a kind of delusional confidence that's very hard to fake if you actually know something.

[vocal vessel]

I always assumed you couldn't.

[hardy iron]

I have an idea but it’s against the discord ToS

[pure hollow]

the correct assumption for the math part yeah

[vocal vessel]

what????

i mean this server has no extra honorifics really

idk if he would want to moderate

[wide orbit]

he won't... I suppose

[wide orbit]

what's crankery?

[hard oasis]

Read anything on viXra and this is crankery; in a nutshell: nonsensical things that may look technical for an outsider

[solid snow]

i like to imagine this server would recognize his genius like hardy did

[old oak]

Probably, I was being facetious

[solid snow]

🚬

No ik lmao

[old oak]

Posting weird random formulas without any elaboration might cause eyebrows to be raised, though

[solid snow]

He truly did have divine inspiration

[old oak]

People would probably suspect they were LLM generated

[wooden falcon]

well to an extent. But people have done weirder things. Like I’m really autistic and I love posting random shit that I just learned or figured out

[hard oasis]

What's that person's name on M.SE that solved incredible but fabricated integrals? This may look like it at a first glance

[solid snow]

Cleo

[wooden falcon]

before society whittled that down

[hard oasis]

Right, cleo!

[wooden falcon]

it was staged it seems

[hard oasis]

Of course it was; if Ramanujan were to post today, it may look like a new Cleo

[wooden falcon]

well I feel like it’s different. Ramanujan started solving his own problems, and most which weren’t were just standard

Cleo faked being someone else who posed the problem.

There’s nothing wrong with posing a problem yourself and being like, look at this cool solution I found!

[wide orbit]

what is cleo?

[hard oasis]

My hope is one day someone will find a "lost notebook" from Ramanujan that gives a hint at how he got the insight for lots of his formulas

Like: what was going through his mind? Did he have some wiring we lack?

[brave flare]

Some Armenian man

Who really liked integrals

[wide orbit]

then who is cleo would be fit there.

[hard oasis]

Cleo fabricated hard problems and posed the questions on the maths stack exchange; they later posted a solution that looked incredibly astucious, so much so that suspicion was raised and people investigated before discovering the truth

Turns out it's easier to find an antiderivative if you already know what to take a derivative from And once you know the answer, you may have an idea on how to get there too

[wooden falcon]

Yeah it’s a lot easier. Still impressive to see the solving process. But yeah, much much easier.

Showing cool shit is nice, just be honest about it

[hard oasis]

Yeah, be intellectually honest always

[wide orbit]

a woman i think

[hard oasis]

Does it matter that it's a man or woman from Armenia?

[wide orbit]

because i don't understand your statement and talking about something lol

[brave flare]

right sorry it was an uzbek man not an armenian

cleo is actually called Vladimir

[mint canopy]

No, Cleo is (it appears to be the case) the alt account of a man, who deliberately posted questions he knew how to solve so that Cleo could magically answer them.

[earnest python]

Yeah some YouTuber dug into it and managed to contact the person behind Cleo

Forgot who the YouTuber is tho

[gray spindle]

omgggg cleooo exposed??

[mint canopy]

This is relatively old news but yes haha

[gray spindle]

nooo my favorite math legend

reminds me of people in #chill some guy kept posting integrals he supposedly solved but idk man its hard to prove that this random integral you solved vs just made

[vivid halo]

he simply intuited the world of modular forms

[grizzled crypt]

I don't think it would matter much a priori, but since the profile description explicitly decides to emphasize it by starting with My real name is Cleo, I'm female. it becomes interesting

[hard oasis]

I haven't studied them much; I only watched an online course by Keith Conrad on the topic!

[latent edge]

Chad

[hard oasis]

He had a crazy intuition then

[vivid halo]

yeah it was pretty crazy

some of the more classical stuff around modular forms I can kind of imagine discovering but the stuff he discovered around mock modular forms is still mysterious

[jaunty ibex]

Modular formd are overrated

[vivid halo]

lol very false

Rogers Ramanujan is one of the coolest results

absurdly deep stuff

[latent edge]

Yeah this result still amazes me lmao

[vivid halo]

the result that only these seven are modular makes it all the more impressive that Ramanujan discovered a few of them

[latent edge]

:chad:

We need a chad emoji smh

[jaunty ibex]

I mean undeniably Ramanujan was an impressive figure but why is this result deep? It just looks like a curious question to ask about

[loud hamlet]

After I complete my final, my parent was like 'how did you think you did,' all smiles... I just wish I could study and complete assignments in peace... How do you guys feel when someone delves into your grades?

[solid snow]

Tell them you don’t feel sharing, but tbh I think its unreasonable to crucify your parents for this in this instance, they just seem like they care

[loud hamlet]

Just the somewhat sad interaction if I said after I didn't do well feels terrible... And if I say I did well than they might get all giddy and then I feel the pressure to perform which doesn't help much, as I do lose passion when others take pride in my work for some reason.

[loud hamlet]

Thank you for responding! I appreciate your feedback.

[vivid halo]

it is secretly a theorem about classifying conformal field theories

partition functions of such field theories are mock modular, constraining the modular landscape constrains the physics landscape

[latent edge]

I did not know of this

This is really cool

Modular forms casually dropping bangers everywhere

[vivid halo]

yeah this is basically the story behind what Zagier and others have been studying around Nahm sums and quantum modularity

[jaunty ibex]

I don't care about conformal field theory

[vivid halo]

lol what do you care about

[jaunty ibex]

I only care about class field theory and number fields

[vivid halo]

why limit yourself to class field theory that's boring

but yes number fields are a nice thing to care about

[latent edge]

Why not class field theory in more general cases (Langlands)

[vivid halo]

that would require caring about modular forms

[latent edge]

right

[jaunty ibex]

Yeah this is why

[latent edge]

[vivid halo]

lol

[real temple]

[alpine copper]

@vivid halo do you know if modular anomaly has any number theoretic explanations?

[vivid halo]

which modular anomaly specifically?

[alpine copper]

The one corresponding to the torus partition function not exhibiting modular invariance

[vivid halo]

yes but in which physical situation

the ones counting BPS indices in CY compactifications of type IIA string theory? or something else

[alpine copper]

Any one of these examples would be useful (if they answer the question)

[vivid halo]

right okay I can say something pretty general and then maybe something more specific about these examples

[alpine copper]

I should probably ask my research prof, as he said "many cond matter systems exhibit modular anomaly" but nothing more specific than that

[vivid halo]

well so first of all are you comfortable with anomalies in the first place

like what the presence of an anomaly means geometrically

[alpine copper]

In the case of conformal anomaly it has to do with curvature + central charge, right?

[vivid halo]

roughly speaking yes, although there are a few kinds of anomalies, the curvature anomalies are local anomalies but you can have global anomalies as well

[alpine copper]

It has to do with the index of some dirac operator in general, right?

Or is that just for chiral theories

[vivid halo]

it mainly has to do with the eta invariant of such a Dirac operator

so yes morally this is an index

[alpine copper]

Okay okay. I'm following (will probably have to look up the specifics of the eta invariant later, but i can see why geometry matters)

[vivid halo]

say you have a parameterized family of spin Riemannian manifolds with boundary

fix the following boundary condition for the corresponding family of Dirac operators

now consider the determinant line

the exponentiated eta invariant lives in the inverse of the determinant line

this should give a smooth section of the determinant line bundle as X varies in such a family

these smooth sections given by the exponentiated eta invariant should satisfy sewing laws in the sense of TQFT

now two things can happen as far as anomalies go. First of all, the determinant line bundle carries a connection, the curvature of this connection is a source of local anomalies

Second of all, the determinant line bundle can fail to be a trivial line bundle, the obstruction to the existence of a global trivialization is a source of global anomalies

the partition function should also give a section of this determinant line bundle, so global anomalies will mean that the partition function is not a number but rather a section of some line bundle

when you look at the perturbative expansion of Chern-Simons theory the exponentiated eta invariant and the analytic torsion (which is a correction to the metric and connection on the determinant line bundle in the first place) show up

[alpine copper]

Okay, so if we specify to the torus partition function, we have the moduli space of conformally equivalent tori, and Z is a section on this moduli space, right?

[vivid halo]

right

[alpine copper]

And the fact that there is a modular anomaly is because Z is a section of a non-trivial line bundle and not a true to honest function on this moduli space

[vivid halo]

the anomaly here will mean that such a partition function fails to be SL_2(Z) invariant

[alpine copper]

Hmmm, is analytic torsion something number theoretic?

[vivid halo]

yes!

it shows up in Arakelov theory among other things, and there are lots of examples where this is related to number theoretic objects

there is a strong analogy between Alexander polynomials/analytic torsion and p-adic L-functions for example, some of this makes sense for more classical L-functions as well

anyways in the mock modular examples, like mock theta functions, the anomaly comes from the fact that you are looking at the holomorphic part of a harmonic weak Maass form

the harmonic weak Maass form is modular, but its holomorphic part isn't. The latter needs to be "completed" to restore invariance

[alpine copper]

Ahh interesting, interesting. How do L-functions further show up?

i.e detect the existence of a global anomaly

[vivid halo]

an illustrative example involves arithmetic hyperbolic 3-manifolds and Chern-Simons theory with complex gauge group SL_2(C)

if you have an imaginary quadratic field F then you can produce an arithmetic hyperbolic 3-manifold H^3/SL_2(O_F) whose volume is the special value \zeta_F(2) up to some less interesting factors

the same volume appears in the perturbative expansion for Chern-Simons theory

now with complex gauge group you actually see a "complex volume" whose imaginary part is the usual volume, and whose real part is the Chern-Simons invariant

if you think of this special value \zeta_F(2) and volume as an amplitude, the Chern-Simons invariant is in some sense a phase

it is of course not as well-defined as the amplitude is (the amplitude will live in R, the phase will live in R/Z) but it carries number theoretic meaning

there are lots of situations around motives and special values of L-functions where half of the periods appearing some part of the period matrix can be explained classically, while the other half can only be explained as phases in this way

[alpine copper]

Hmmm, lots of stuff I have to look up

[vivid halo]

maybe the simplest example of this is the analytic class number formula for the residue at s=1 of the Dedekind zeta function \zeta_F(s) for a number field F, the regulator appearing in this formula is a determinant of some matrix whose entries are special values of log|z| at units in the ring of integers of F

log|z| is single-valued, but log(z) is not; its real part is log|z|, while its imaginary part is arg(z) which is a phase

[alpine copper]

My professor wanted to explore the structures behind how modular anomalies shows up, and I vaguely remember seeing this being related to L-functions, but i didn't know enough to piece it together

[vivid halo]

the modular anomalies specifically are most closely related to mock modular forms and weak harmonic Maass forms, not as closely to L-functions I would say

the point is that these mock modular objects are things like theta functions, they live on the moduli of elliptic curves

if you take the Mellin transform of such a theta function, so you integrate from 0 to i\infty and regularize suitably, you get an L-function

this is how the L-functions of classical modular forms are defined in the first place, they are Mellin transforms of modular forms

[alpine copper]

Do the special values of the L-function tell you anything about the modular anomaly?

[vivid halo]

there is probably some relation but I don't know of anything specific to point to

I should say that this business of defining L-functions for things like weak harmonic Maass forms is quite new and very mysterious

another related thing to look at is weakly holomorphic modular forms and their (quasi)periods, and how these are related to their L-functions

[latent edge]

wow discussion 2 is so peak

[vivid halo]

when you have a classical modular form f, say cuspidal for SL_2(Z), it should have a 2x2 period matrix

two of the entries are the real/imaginary periods \omega^+ and \omega^- and they explain the critical values of the L-function L(f,s)

[alpine copper]

This is useful, so thanks. Def a got a decent amt ahead of me

[vivid halo]

namely L(f,s) is a rational multiple of \omega^+ or \omega^- (depending on parity) for s=1,...,2k-1 where k is the weight

there are two other entries of the period matrix which are hard to see in terms of f alone, nor can they really be seen in terms of the complex conjugate \bar{f}

[alpine copper]

I find it cool how number theorists and physicists can be interested in the same objects

[vivid halo]

f generates the holomorphic part of de Rham cohomology algebraically, but if you want the rest of algebraic de Rham cohomology you need to write down a weakly holomorphic modular form F with the same Hecke eigenvalues as f

it's like how on an elliptic curves you can write de Rham cohomology in terms of dz and d\bar{z}, but if you're working algebraically with a Weierstrass equation y^2=4x^3-ax-b you really want to work with dx/y and xdx/y

the remaining quasiperiods \eta^+ and \eta^- are periods of this weakly holomorphic F and are similarly proportional to the critical values of the L-function L(F,s)

[latent edge]

yep I found out the same thing as well

that's why i've been interested in VOAs and conformal theory

[vivid halo]

this L-function L(F,s) is hard to define though, typically F will have exponential growth at the cusps so the obvious Dirichlet series doesn't converge anywhere! You have to regularize this in a pretty brutal way

[alpine copper]

And my group isnt even high energy, they are cond matter theory 😂

[vivid halo]

I find it endlessly amusing that all my insights about L-functions have come from studying physics and not from studying number theory directly

[alpine copper]

What would be the first things to look for (maybe naively so)?

[queen bobcat]

Pure insanity

[vivid halo]

this thesis has probably the cleanest explanation of how to define these things and the regularization procedure involved https://theses.hal.science/tel-02965542/document

the definition I have in mind is from work of Bringmann, Fricke and Kent

in general I recommend Bringmann's work, there is so much good stuff around mock modular forms and all that

[untold cedar]

@latent edge

[latent edge]

Yes.

[alpine copper]

Thanks again

[vivid halo]

I have such a backlog of papers I need to write up about this stuff

[alpine copper]

If you ever do a write up on this, please let me know. I'd love to take a look

[latent edge]

same

[vivid halo]

yeah I'll let you know

right now trying to write down some conjectures about special values of L-functions at s=1/2 in terms of Dirac operators

[alpine copper]

These mock modular forms don't have well defined periods, right?

[vivid halo]

right

I mean they have periods there is just more indeterminacy in the definition that you have to keep track of compared to the usual periods one likes to consider

[alpine copper]

So in this case, the "L-function" doesn't have an associated series

[vivid halo]

it does actually

[alpine copper]

Also, dumb question, but is there a way to canonically decompose these mock modular forms into a modular and not modular part?

[vivid halo]

not quite canonically but there is a decomposition like this yes

you have an exact sequence like this and a similar thing shows up in the mock modular case also

[alpine copper]

So, I would like to understand these torus partition as mock modular forms. I want to see if there is any sense to talk about them as an anomaly free and an anomalous sum

[vivid halo]

relating weakly holomorphic modular forms and harmonic Maass forms

[vivid halo]

right, what you are doing is trying to complete the mock modular thing to a harmonic weak Mass thing

the harmonic weak Maass thing has nice modular properties, and it has a holomorphic projection which recovers the original mock modular thing. The difference is the anomaly

of course it's easy to compute the holomorphic projection but very hard to compute this kind of modular completion

by the way these kinds of harmonic weak Maass forms and mock modular forms are a bit outside the usual language of the Langlands program but they still have good representation theoretic interpretations

this is a really nice paper about this generalizing similar results of Bringmann and Kudla https://arxiv.org/abs/2207.02278

probably the best place to learn about how these things show up in number theory is reading about Kudla's program, it reminds me a lot of what is happening around these BPS counting problems actually

[alpine copper]

Is this at all related to anomaly cancelation when defining an edge theory to a bulk one?

[vivid halo]

yeah the completion is like anomaly cancellation

[alpine copper]

Woah

[vivid halo]

you're having to add some counterterm to restore modularity

[alpine copper]

Are there any papers where these analogies are made explicit?

[vivid halo]

mine hopefully

but yeah idk the literature on this is not so explicit, I've had to scrape the literature and read a bunch over the last few months to figure this stuff out

https://web.ma.utexas.edu/users/dafr/detsur.pdf

Freed has a wonderful paper about anomalies and determinant lines though

second 4 on Riemann surfaces is especially clarifying I think

there is also a lot of literature by Freed and collaborators about how to interpret anomalies in the usual functorial TQFT language, namely in terms of "invertible field theories"

Witten also has some nice writing on anomalies which might be more accessible if you have a good physics background

but yeah ultimately this picture about zeta regularized determinants/eta invariants and what it has to do with Quillen's determinant line (and its metric corrected by the Ray Singer analytic torsion) is at the center of everything here

I do really believe these kinds of regularized determinants of differential operators are the correct way to think about L-functions, this is what interested me in this story in the first place

the usual kinds of L-functions that show up in number theory should have an Euler product expansion over all primes, as well as a gamma factor involving the Archimedean place which cleans up the functional equation

the local factor at a prime p comes from the action of the Frobenius that you always have working in characteristic p

the only way to get a similar interpretation for the gamma factor at the Archimedean place is using these zeta regularized determinants

[alpine copper]

not to switch up the discussion crazily, but how would I go about getting into this field in grad school? Like what background are people looking for in potential students?

[latent edge]

What field? Langlands?

[vivid halo]

it depends on which parts you're trying to work on, but I guess generally speaking it has become quite popular to study the interface between mathematical physics and number theory these days

[latent edge]

Sounds very fun thing to do

better than whatever this is

character slop

[vivid halo]

lol you underestimate how much slop is in physics papers

[latent edge]

please give me physics slops

[jaunty ibex]

This sounds nightmarish

[latent edge]

its not bad

wait nvm it is bad I take my words

but it just boils down to combinatorics

the stuff I proved so far sound really trivial. I dont feel much about them for some reason

[jaunty ibex]

I don't think they are trivial

[vivid halo]

it only looks bad because the author chose bad notation

[latent edge]

the notation is just bad in general

[jaunty ibex]

ill try tomorrow and convince my prof to relate the stuff we are doing with braid groups

[alpine copper]

would this be Langlands? I am very interested in studying the mathematical physics with regards to field theories and their applications to pure mathematics

[latent edge]

yeah L functions, automorphic forms and the stuff nG talks about in general

All langlands

[latent edge]

didnt know you can use the polynomials for knots

well i guess you have braids i should've guessed

[vivid halo]

every knot is the closure of a braid

[latent edge]

yep

woow deltoid nogging failed

[alpine copper]

ah gotcha

I would say this and generalized symmetries are my two primary interests for grad school

[latent edge]

That's very cool

I used to think symmetries were the most boring thing ever

How ironic

[alpine copper]

yea, it is kinda cool how physicists are looking towards categeries/higher categories for the past few years

[latent edge]

My physics friend quit physics because she complained about physics getting really hard for physicists

[latent edge]

I was very surprised and kinda more satisfied that I had to study a bit of physics to get a better understanding of these stuff

[alpine copper]

I feel like this reminds me of some quote about "the math that physicists have to deal with is too difficult for the physicists"

heard some physics guy at MIT only accepted one incoming grad student to work in their lab this year and it was a pure math student

[alpine copper]

I am also very satisfied by the growing intimacy in these areas between pure math and physics

Not the place to ask but, is there anything stronger than gamma rays? Not specifically in terms of electromagnetic rays or radiation, just anything that could be considered more powerful or destructive

[queen bobcat]

[vivid halo]

gamma rays can vary quite a bit in energy, and are hardly the most energetic things out there

highest energy gamma ray photon observed so far was ~1.4 peta-eV, highest energy cosmic ray particle observed so far was ~320 exa-eV

anything with mass will completely outclass the energies you can cram into photons

[grand adder]

How’s your day?

[ocean harbor]

[ember laurel]

My days about to end, it's 12:20am here

Should I open a ticket will people get angry at me for not using it for a maths question

[uneven tinsel]

[patent thunder]

Hello everyone

Anyone in 1st year.?

[true zinc]

<@&268886789983436800> user spamming this in all channels

[storm sage]

Huh I thought I deleted it, is Discord search just not working

Anyways @patent thunder for future reference please don't post the same message in multiple channels

[vast wraith]

people are always going on about how unpopular cantor was during his life, it seems to me this is greatly exaggerated i think we should rather be talking about the bromance he had going on with dedekind

[lucid scroll]

is this the book called men of mathematics

[vast wraith]

no…

this is dauben’s biography of cantor

[ocean harbor]

you can talk about it in here or #advanced-lounge

[wooden falcon]

and they took vacations together 👀

[vast wraith]

in the mountains

[granite goblet]

other discussion channel got real boring real fast

anyways

ion think i’ve ever talked here! what’s teaaaa

[old oak]

Traditionally; infusion of leaves of the plant Camellia sinensis in hot water.

[granite goblet]

soooo quirky

[limber thunder]

probably, since those are for math questions specifically

like ken said above you should have access to #advanced-lounge which among other things is fit for questions about uni/academic life

but here is fine as well

[granite goblet]

why don’t i have access

[limber thunder]

you don't have the Undergraduate Math role

[old oak]

That is how I am often described, yes

[granite goblet]

🥺🥺

[haughty lion]

I would rather describe owls as quilly

[latent edge]

discussion 1 is horrible

[ocean harbor]

discussion 1 is where you meet weirdos

[old oak]

I mean, so is this channel, but admittedly the weirdos over here are less annoying

Myself excluded, of course

[ocean harbor]

this chat is somewhat active

[mint canopy]

I've always wanted to try a tea brick

[neat lintel]

is that a solid block of tea?

like a really saturated one

[mint canopy]

Yeah it's tea from concentrate basically

And when u want a cuppa you shave off a little bit and put it in water

[neat lintel]

sounds like those broth bricks

[haughty lion]

Now I feel like matcha

[neat lintel]

i wonder if there's any difference in taste

[old oak]

Between a tea brick and a broth brick?

I should hope so

Mmm, beef tea

[neat lintel]

that doesn't sound half bad

[mint canopy]

Full of electrolytes!

That's basically gravy right

[old oak]

I'm more of a Darjeeling person

[limber thunder]

this channel is just slower

in comparison Discussy the First feels like https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AsdJFNaiXzs

in text form

[old oak]

I like to think it also has fewer nitwits because those don't even realize there's more than one discussion channel

[mint canopy]

Darjeeling is great

But I am also a fan of bog standard breakfast tea

[old oak]

Yep, also good.

I used to enjoy Assam quite a lot but went off it eventually

[neat lintel]

why?

[old oak]

No idea, just stopped enjoying the flavour as much.

[haughty lion]

I had some orange rooibos last year

[old oak]

I still like it because I like most black tea, but Darjeeling has the edge currently

[haughty lion]

That was very nice

[old oak]

My BF enjoys rooibos

[neat lintel]

oh wow, I'm still on assam cause I have tea rarely so it always has that same edge

[old oak]

I stick to tea, although green as well as black

[limber thunder]

rooibos is so good

though I usually just drink black tea since that's what I can afford , I also like a good Pu'erh or more floral or fruity mixes every now and then

[mint canopy]

Rooibos is my addiction

My mum tells me that when I was a little baby she actually bathed me in rooibos once

I have no idea why

But I'm not complaining

[granite goblet]

and is

[granite goblet]

period this channel is giving baddies discussion 1 channel is giving nttv

[mint canopy]

[granite goblet]

lol es

ew

[mint canopy]

Saying ew to slay patrick is not very slay

[latent edge]

true

[old oak]

Sometimes I feel so very old

[latent edge]

true

[latent edge]

tbf if you haven't mentioned stuff I would've still thought you were around 20's

or maybe im old for thinking that

[mint canopy]

You're like a cool Dad

That's what Deltoid's saying

[old oak]

Thanks?

[mint canopy]

I was trying to rile you up

please act more angry

[latent edge]

Outsider, a cool dad for sure

[old oak]

Hey, I'll take it

I have so little else

[latent edge]

I'm not even interested in K theory why am I getting these videos?

oh well

I'll take it

[mint canopy]

When life gives you a gift, take it with both hands

[old oak]

I'm an owl, who says I have hands

[unborn meteor]

hi

[latent edge]

I'm not sure why my prof is thinking highly of me

I'm not that good in math

[limber thunder]

she usually uploads vids about math academic life in general so the channel kind of reaches out to a broader audience

[jaunty ibex]

Bro says this and casually works with automorphic forms

[timid bronze]

@velvet dagger

[latent edge]

That makes sense

I saw her video interviewing Peter Scholze

[latent edge]

it's because I love automorphic forms so I dont mind how hard they are to understand

[velvet dagger]

Fantastic

[jaunty ibex]

Omg hi ally

[jaunty ibex]

Deltoid is automorphic on H

[latent edge]

correct

[old oak]

Just think how bad the others must be, then

[vast wraith]

i was so surprised when my alg geo prof showed up in one of her videos

[latent edge]

plot twist: it was peter scholze

[vast wraith]

no…

it’s not one of the interviews… one sec

https://youtu.be/0Nt2tXNz8sQ

the guy at 22:04 here

[latent edge]

Is it really imposter syndrome the thing im dealing with

idk maybe

[vast wraith]

i’m pretty sure i have a case of reverse imposter syndrome thinking i’m more capable than i am

[jagged forge]

useful skill tbh

[solid snow]
