I'll stop
No that don’t make sense
Oh I thought it was being microwaved
Why scary
hina face
Im sleeping once someone shouts at me to do my nightly routine
Actually there's ppl in front of my dorm thst r my friends i lowk wanna wait till they leave
I just said hi to them and hugged to talk
Sleep please
Dont wanna be out with a shower caddy and shit ab to shower LMFAO
I see
How’s your day gonna be tomorrow
I dont have to get up early so i can stay up a bit
Drink water before
YAY
Okay that good
i technically dont need to wake up early either
You should still sleep if ur sleepy or tired
but jesus its so cold here i wanna get snuggled up soon
im not eepy
Plus y get used to better sleep schedule
Why’s it cold
that's a thing to worry about in september
Idk but my dorm doesnt have heater rn
Have you been up more than 15hrs?
And i refuse to get into my bed without having showered
15 hours hmm
Do u have roomies?
i dont think so
straight
no
sleepy princess
It was my last day of hs
That’s normal on occasion, our bodies can get really tired or exhausted, and it’s common during fever, when our body and immune system needs so much energy
I was knocked out
that's so real
One of my friends got mad for not msging them back
Especially if you’ve been up a long time. Like 24+ hours
oh i wasnt
it was just a long day XD
Good or lonely?
Oh im happy to have a single dorm
Yeah so u was super tired yeah
I dont want roommates
That’s good
I have a fever Rn actually
ya but that was 16 hours straight
i think i slept at like
5 pm and woke up at 9 am
something like that
Then ig it’s okay for u to stay up until then if u really want to
It’s okay, you must’ve been having bad sleep the days before?
No i had fine sleep
Oh yes and i still miss hs a lot
I am playing with Deepseek for fun and this is hilarious
I read my signatures on my yearbook and it makes me tear
Ally Deepseek is telling me to drink coffee
Because I don’t have a chance or opportunity to make friends like that anymore
oke :3
What the heck don’t
Yay
Drink water instead
ill block him if he does
Oh I see
Ehh i found college easier for me to make friends than hs
See I can understand jokes
My hs was very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very white
O okay that’s reassuring
Math is cool 
Why
Uh
Cuz it just was idk ;-;
white populated area
So not very diverse
A bit harder to make friends
Asian for me
uni is very diverse
Oh slay then
I think its cringe
Ayo Astro my banner used to be that when I had the nitro free trial
Why
😂
Okay I see
Like "ts pmo sybau o hn skibidi ohio"
What’s that mean
Exactly

I see
Rizz and aura r the only funny words
I only understood Ohio from that
Ohio gozaimasu
What’s that mean
This pisses me off oh hell nah skibidi Ohio
k.
Okay
Rizz like ur ability to attract
Idk why I understand some of this 😭
k.
Aura like ur quality
Kai cenat streams are teachable material
Mass? Mass increasing an objects gravity/attraction
astro do u study physics as ur major?
Dang it
Yeah
yupie
Eeerrrkay Mass can have rizz now!
Sure
physics so girlboss
Oh interesting
I thought aura meant something else iirc
Guys do we love earth because we are so attracted to it
Like we have to go so fast so that we stop getting attracted to it
Oh I see
Is there a test to measure your “rizz”
Yes but they ass
No and dont find XD
I don't like where this is going
O okay
And be confident

Be urself
Why just girls

that's the point of rizz
I dont like this
Oh no, I was just curious about how to measure it
Rizz can be applied either way
pls dont flirt with girls tho that's cringe as heck
Dont bother
It’s not like weight where u can directly measure it
It’s like an experiment
Oh, I didn’t mean that, I didn’t know we were talking about a romantic context
what
do u mean with multiple
Word
no like chasing a girl around and flirting
Oh i see
He got a point
Well dont chase her but
What if she chases u
I’ve been flirted w in the past but I was pretty oblivious and the person told me about it like way later and I lowk had no idea so that was interesting
When it’s double sided
iff she likes u
this is double edged
Damn
wdym
you can risk going to jail if she doesn't
oh u mean it like that
Like both parties like each other
I’m cold
Wear something then
Whaaaat
Unless it was very like
He got some rizz
So Ally, imagine if you were walking in the street then a guy randomly walked by and starts flirting. Would you like this?
Well no i wouldnt i just meant like if both parties r mutually interested dude
No, I just didn’t know there was romantic intention, they would talk to me about marriage and things like that but I never knew it was like hints and whatever
yeah this is totally okay
Eh probably not risking that caliber of consequence unless you go well beyond the point when it's clear that the person doesn't want it lmfao
yeah that was hyperbole
I’m in bed
Hi in bed, nice to meet you
Blanket
Hi
Yeah I gots one

Then use two
higher is in bed? why r u putting him to bed like hes ur little kid?
Hes an adult
Tired to get out of bed
Bruh
I feel hot and cold at the same same time
Use the aperture science handheld portal device
and out loud sometimes 
oh there is higher
I just say hi and tried making a corny joke
@unreal wyvern welcome to the mathcord 
LMFOAOOAOAOAO GOOD TIMING
Hi
BYE
eh? 
Wow that must be interesting
Farewell
what
that was a good timing lmao
I was here for the last 5 minutes reading 
I dont mean as in like Im leaving
yea as in like LOL
Interesting
Sorry ik i yap a lot in this channel
Ill go now
For u
Um, that exists?
Portal 2 
wha- 

you don't have to go for me 
Ur not doing anything wrong
I like having you around 
Same 
oh, so that's why I was mentioned
i love discussy 2
We also love having you around, Higher
So yall did take me serious.
do u like having me around
WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
the same can be said for you, astrophysicist 
Idk I just got here
I didn’t! I knew you were joking hehe
I don’t know many people here
Ok but on the real im gonna go shower i smell like turtle pee

wait, I did think you were serious when you said you'd leave for me

Okay showe well
ah, take care ally 
Ill leave for u now to shower
I fear i need to present myself well to impress higher
and if I'm asleep before you return, or you go to bed after this, have a wonderful night 
Slip*
How

You know the obvious way
Oh okay I think
Oh u better still be up for me
And way for me to say goodnight to u
jk
What if he’s tired
then he sleep
I said
but since he's higher i doubt he will
I might be 
:(
Yay
Why frown
Astro how much physics you know?
Just like freshman uni physics
About what
physics
This paper discusses the simplest examples of spectral zeta functions, especially those associated with graphs, a subject which has not been much studied. The analogy and the similar structure of these functions, such as their parallel definition in terms of the heat kernel and their functional equations, are emphasized. Another theme is to poin...
oh let me ping @junior veldt as well
LOL
holy based
my apologies, but I won’t be up after all 
I’m going to bed now 
have a wonderful night ally, astro, Deltoid, and mathcord 
Brw @junior veldt let me know if any of what I posted sounds familiar in terms of physics. I'm very interested in these stuff :3
Goodnight Higher
I made it on time
I still se eu on
XD
ah, I’m talking to a friend in DMs before going to bed 
Hi going to give u a boop to ur bunny ears
<
good night ally 
Wow, your interest is interesting
good night astro 
Gn higher the chicken
Are you also sleeping
Why chicken
Hes a chicken
i gave higher the nickname hei hei
And hei hei is the chicken in moana
Hei hei is cute right
Did he agree to this
what the hell
Yeah eigenvalues of differential operators are a big deal
I've been learning physics and AG recently
so disgusting
These stuff kinda motivate the idea of studying Arakelov theory
Idk if I should be studying it tho
@vivid halo is arakelov theory worth getting into?
Compactifying Spec R sounds like something
Wtf is this
Hey, I wanted to know if you guys have some tricks to know if there are going to be some summer schools in your country ? like some diffusion lists where you can subscribe that tell you etc
chatgpt is okay for compiling that type of info imo
Cherasoid!
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
well! im about to go to bed so i thought id check discord
advisor meeting went well i think 
Not for you no
Thanks now I don't have to worry about it
Not even the analytic version?
a fan kissing abel without his consent
I'm reading a bit about it tmr these stuff look interesting
The guy looked happy about it
No not for you
Bruh
It’s worth learning only if you are like completely comfortable with everything classical about pure and mixed motives first
Oh
Okay
@velvet dagger #serious-discussion message now i understand u not wanting to marry
I fear i may join u.
The spectral zeta function stuff is interesting but you can’t really use it to prove anything
marriage and all scary things
That's what I've seen so far with spectral zeta
Yeah
They look nice but that's about it
Sorry I got distracted yeah this is messed up
I'm sleeping too gn yall
gn guys
Ew
Goodnight everyone who is sleeping
Uh I have no clue what this is sorry
Eek
Im an Italian 9th grader, i want to train for next year olympiads, I have some experience in the Bocconi's circuit but im not that good. Where do i start from?
These wuxias kill me
Yes
it's so weird to be exposed once again to the discord environment
i can't compete with people's humor older than my age (though im pushing 20s lol)
That's quite old indeed.
Cool
To study mathematics, you need to study mathematics.
cost a lot to you mathematically, perhaps. but switching out of EE will likely cost you a lot financially in the future
ahh yes, the floor is made of floor
T orture yourself through the worst problems and never read your notes
im no expert in giving advice, but to study math, don't memorize, but learn the concept, and PRACTICE. i mean, at least that's for most of math. for higher math stuff, especially pure ones, same thing, but also develop ur critical thinking deep and be creative ig
Is it really
It's not
Okay then
I was being facetious, as is my wont
hi
Hi! How are you?
@haughty lion AlMa is always in C++, right?
Meow
meow
Nope, we had it in python for example
Oh damn
darth maul became darth/maul before 99% of jjk fans were born
There is an entire book written just for the specific course and it's in C++, that's why I thought so
how is everyone's day going?
Hougardy-Vygen? Yeah we still used that book
Exactly
Also I've been told that there are almost never any lecture notes
Oh and one more thing:
Are the Stromkosten, Heizkosten, ... included in the rent for the Studierendenwerk?
Or do you pay extra
They're included
So you can use as much electricity as you want and it's all covered?
There's some clause about only small electronics being permitted but yes
I know people with their own fridges and they've had no problems
this is really nice
Oh and you'll need your own wifi router i think
Ah, you're right - just found the Studierendenwerk page for it
But yeah the wifi is speedy
And I love how they just casually limit it at 4TB/month
are you accusing me of child labor
yes I am.
4TB/month is more than my server lmao
The most I've ever used is probably 50GB in a month
I would need it if I'm scarping from the internet
gotta build the next big AI fr 
And from 0-10AM you have a happy hour 
gonna scrape mathcord to make an actually good at math AI 
xD
yeah no I'm not gonna do this I suck at coding
reallllll
but I'm a CS major 
@discord TOS violations
(it's a joke so it's probably fine)
Yeah it does violate tos but I'm not good enough to do it so 
Finally, a gang theory chatbot
Inb4 it starts yapping about GA
@errant zenith Hi i slept 3 am woke up 8 am
kind of irresponsible
It’s okay , you’re doing great
Any reason why u slept so late?
i dont need comforting btw i was just saying 😭 but thank you
Shut ur bitch ass up
Okay I was also just saying
its okay, you're doing great
It’s a great thing for someone to sleep and recover
Knowing how many cranks are active here, I won't be investing in your startup
i know but you dont have to dont worry
Ima punch u
careful cause this bad bird bites back
Don’t have to what
you dont need to comfort
valid opinion I would not do that also
I know, it’s fine I always just do it anyway idk what’s wrong w that
Ally prefers the YOLO lifestyle
What’s that mean
You only live once
Ok no thats u u drink hard i dont drink
its just
Thats great that you don’t
@deep mango drink water instead
its kind but you dont need to say that
Ally's advice to people: dont be kind
I live forever
It’s okay
Not possible
Me saying that isnt saying to not be kind
its just not necessary
thats what the takeaway is though...
its a good thing to say if the person needs comforting
Pls dont take me out of context there
Im sorry. you're right. I'll stop taking you out of context
It’s not that comforting to tell someone they’re doing great
It’s a normal response?
But fr tho why’d you sleep so late
kindness is the real punk rock 😎
hello pseudo!
getting absolutely bodied by basic set theory
,how about you?
getting absolutely bodied by skincare @.@
i'm trying to figure out a beginner's routine
hello
there is, uh, a lot of terminology

i'm getting bodied too, by exam results if that can make you feel better
have cleanser moisturizer spf
and bonus have vitamin c serum
thats like all u need
yeah a few friends have given me advice on this
u dont need 20k products like some have
cleanser moisturizer spf is definitely the common theme
some also recommend exfoliating
i think for now i just wanna get into the habit of doing skincare
before exfoliating do know how sensitive ur skin is
id suggest this
i wouldnt recommend exfoliating right off the bat
mhm, ok
then, i think i'll stick to cleanser/moisturizer/spf for now
omg not the sunscreen again
hi ryc
thats very good
hi pseudo
What’s wrong w sunscreen
how do u like skincare
i also should do skincare
It’s pretty necessary id say
do u think its therapeutic
ik someone irl completely against it
I say yes
Oh does she say that cuz she thinks it’s bad or smthn
yes
Like the chemicals and all
This is good
getting skin cancer too
ye
that's pretty bad
one thing that has scared me away from skincare for a while
is how do you know a product isn't just bullshit
i'm like super scared by that for some reason
oh yeah thats fair
but its like hair products u have to find what works for u
whatever it is just pls dont rush sometjing like shaving ur peach fuzz hair on ur face
i see a lot of tters do that
and they breakout like crazy
tters?
tiktokers
oh ok
you mean the hairs we don't even see?
Yeah
ye idk why i'd shave hairs we can't see lol
From what i hear is that that hair is meant to protect u from bacteria too
so im not shaving it
i've seen that on insta
Use well known safe products
And read the ingredients list urself and be able to know what’s going on
idk what ingredient is dangerous, i'll show everything to my mom to be sure
not danerous but
not good
Ask the internet
ye
probably the same for every kind of hairs
Yes
And the sun
and the cold
And many other thijfs
Our hair is amazing Nd it protects us
And it increases our senses too
its sucks. sunscreen is a myth
like cat hairs
yk
the long haird
bad english prevents me from explaining further
Shaving when you havent shaved before / in a while is really really nasty
breaks out, gets itchy, terrible
@proud mural Switching majors in my department was kind easy tbh
I entered my major basically as soon as I entered my Uni because of dual enrollment credits
and the course overlap was basically the exact same for the first three years pre-specialization
ah got it
Consensually sending virtual hugs to everyone
Nerdddddd
How's the analysis coming along dork
🫂
@fresh comet

Higher!
Hi higher!
yey astro boy
I hope you’re doing well and surviving your day well
Meow
meow
hello astro 
How’s ur day Hru
I’m so sleepy rn
I need to eat something
Have you guys been eating well?
no
Why?
idk im just mentally exhausted these days
been talking with some friends, and chilling; the melancholy has faded 
you should eat something and maybe get some rest
I haven't yet eaten today, but I will soon
It’s okay same
U r doing great im sure
Just try to eat at least one-two meal(s) a day, do u think that’s manageable for u?
I’m very glad to hear that
Don’t worry, I will
I rested already I just woke up from a nap recently but I’m still sleepy lol
Okay that’s great you’re doing great!
i already ate
i just didnt feel like it but i did eat
I see
It’s good that you ate anyway
Are there any things that make it easier for you to enjoy eating
Like eating at certain times or while doing certain things
word for word
So true
Bald Ally when?
me 
I had to go back for context loll
Did u do the wordle ?
This is so accurate
Yeah, but it's normally because my sleep schedule is messed up during holidays and takes some time to be fixed
Same
When going to sleep at 3AM for the last three weeks, it takes a few days to get back to 12AM
lupus real im evil house
That’s okay
i can eat unlimited food while watching yt
its crazy
It’s good to eat
But don’t eat too much
it was an overexaggeration
ah I can't sleep
I am trying to sleep from 5 hours I can't fall asleep
I went to bed at 10 pm its 3 am now
I didn't even slept during day today.
What time do you need to wake up?
I have a headache but I can't sleep
When did you last drink water
I can wake up whenever I want right now.
2:55am
Okay that’s good at least
Okay that’s great
yea I got no school rn
How bad is ur headache
im just tryna figure out how to add more vegetables to my diet bc my meals are sort of sparse in them
What have you been doing the past 5 hours?
What vegetables do you like
hmm I was trying to sleep until now. But just couldn't fall asleep.
How many hours have you been awake for
So you feel sleepy but you just have a headache?
And for the past 5 hours you were trying to sleep? So you didn’t use your phone right
I don't feel much sleepy. I didn't used my phone.
I am awake for lets see
18 hours
Do you know any reason of what may be causing your headache?
Or you’re just tired and stressed
I think its because I need rest lol
yeah maybe tired and stressed
I can't sleep because I got headache. I got headache because I can't sleep.
Okay
Have you tried like leaving your phone
And just focusing on breathing
And thinking about calm things maybe idk
5 hours I spended focusing on my heartbeat
haha I can feel my impulse and heartbeat when I sleep lol.
Imma just do some math problems
Maybe your blood pressure is high
i have no reason to get my bp high tho.
I eat no junk food. My routine is very restricted and almost same all the time.
That’s good,
But you maybe have a condition
Or smthn
When have u last checked ur no
Bp*
erm I don't remember checking my bp lol
nah I could always feel my pulse and heartbeat when I focused
Ah I see, hopefully that is normal
yep
hey I have an interesting question
can adrenaline get produced when we are playing video game?
another question.
do you think meat is necessary?
to eat
some say it provides great deal of protein which is very imp, some says its not.
I haven’t done the necessary research to answer that and I don’t know much about it unfortunately
Depends on the person, for most no although it does take more planning to avoid nutrient deficiency without eating any meat, even more so without eating any animal products at all
I see
Well this makes sense
As long as you can get the necessary stuff from else where then it is okay
I see. I don't like to eat meat nowadays.
If you are like an elite athlete and need to maintain muscle mass then it can be hard to do this without some amount of meat consumption
But again for most people it’s fine so long as you supplement with vitamins and plan your nutrients
do you think we should get supplements such as vitamins and minerals on daily basis?
Yes I can’t see any reason not to
Just basic multivitamin is fine and then you can supplement for other things specifically if it turns out you have deficiencies which you can find easily from blood tests
But again I think that if we keep feeding our body such vitamins and minerals directly I think our body will grow to get fed directly making our body unable to absorb vitamins and minerals from our food in future.
No that’s not how that works
I see.
It is true that certain vitamin sources are more bioavailable from certain foods compared to vitamin pills but a basic multivitamin generally stops most deficiency cases
mm I used to think that if we keep feeding ourself some vitamin or mineral for a long time. like for example if we keep feeding ourself iron for a long time, it could cause degradation of ferroportin, which in turns could reduce our body's ability to absorb iron from food.
its like I thought
like if we live at high altitude for a long time, our body would adapt to increase haemoglobin level in blood. Although it's not related rn but I thought it was like this.
me
most
i ate some chilis
How was that for you
I’m glad to hear that
it felt kinda relaxing
i'm realizing that it's not important to swallow the chili either
well probably
so i can enjoy the sensation and relaxation without risking disturbing my digestive system much beyond my mouth
om nom
Yummy
is khan academy good resources for learn SAT questions? if not is there another resource that more better
yes khan academy is great
Im doing machine learning and artifical intelligence in UNI next year does anyone have like good book recommendations for mathematics and ai related stuff?
i saw the ML ones too above
literally me in school id go to sleep exhausted and wake up equally exhausted
infinite cycle of fatigue


@neon garnet hewwo
The Metamorphosis by Franz Kafka


ive read that alr
Hi tabby
haiiiiiii
Hey yall
hey all scott here
U have a very nice and round head
hi everyone
thanks
I meant @woven sail
Not Katie le gasp

hiiii
cuz im a H double O D
hiiiiiiiii
low life scum thats what they say about me
the ✨ emote adds a lot of shininess to the word 
problematic agp
action by ✨ automorphisms ✨
woke emote
Other people using it i take it as sarcasm lowk
Except cleo
oh 
There u go higher
I liked the shininess though 
only woke liberals use yhag emlte
Its cold here breh when its july
i put on an oversized sweater
actually im wearing shorts i probably shouldnt be complaining
i love homogenous spaces, that is, spaces on whose automorphism group acts transitively

Automorphisms are great
possibly my favourite definition in math
its true she is the queen
guh
i dont actually want to
but i may have to
ive just been big sad and unable to do much work at all for some years now
I feel like my understanding and appreciation of math has decreased since I started my masters
i dont understand things
I'm sorry to hear this
I do feel the same too
this ties also to money problems guh, not being able to afford paying the rent or eating properly certainly does not help
oh thats interesting i dont feel this
i certainly become more aware of my lack of understanding, but the understanding only grows, even if slowly
well i guess i forget some stuffs as well but only stuffs i dont care about, like, analysis
💅🏼
the one diff geo course i did was the worst but i do actually want to learn diff geo at some point
I don't
same
the manifolds course I took in UG (it was a grad course) was absolute hell
hardest course I took in UG by far
but I wanna do the whole manifolds sequence here in grad school
cause it's stuff I should have some decent familiarity with
mine probably wasnt all that hard it was just a proper mess
prof tried to do a major restructuring of the course as hent went, going without any textbook
same but I am very analytically and topologically challenged
We don't even have a diff geo course
Ur not missing out anything dw

Oh btw deltoid since ur here
I wanted to ask you a question.
In the proof that the Galois group acts transitively on a set of prime ideals, why is it possible to take x in O_k such that x = 0 mod P and x = 1 mod sigma(P) for all sigma(P) in the Galois group?
They mentioned you get it by CRT but how? What's the point?
The ideals are pairwise comaximal so CRT tells you that there is a surjective map from O_k to the product of the O_k / sigma(P) as sigma ranges over elements of the Galois group. In particular, there exists an element of O_k satisfying the congruence conditions
why not x =2 mod sigma(P) for example?
Well you could find one of those too assuming the residue field is not characteristic 2. But the point of constructing such an element is to derive a contradiction by considering its norm
okay I think I get this part
Thanks walter
then when you take the norm it's equal to the product of all galois actions and the claim is that it is an element of P' rather than P
I'm guessing P' and P are primes of O_k lying above a given prime downstairs?
yes
hanging fruit book
9.1
mhm
Walter already explained the CRT part
My question is why the norm is in P' intersect O instead of P intersect O
oh
Oops
The norm is in P' intersect O by construction, x is one of the factors in the product coming from the identity automorphism
ok so if x = 0 mod P' then x in P' and x = 1 mod sigma(P) implies that x is not in sigma(P) which is also the same as saying sigma(x) is not in P
so you have x in P', sigma(x) not in P
@velvet dagger @fresh comet
Wordle 1490 4/6
⬛🟨⬛⬛⬛
🟩🟨⬛⬛⬛
🟩🟩🟨⬛🟩
🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩
yeah the product is not there since sigma(x) is not in P
BYE I HAD A RANDOM ASS 3RD GUESS
I uh, still don't know what this means 😭
What
I don't understand these posts 
Uve never played wordle
I have
it's just a diagram of attempts
but I'm confused why everybody's posting them as discord messages with square emotes now
to not spoil
or what 4/6 means
I see
okay i see the contradiction
the squares just tell what you it looked like for them
Thank you guys @dapper badge @latent edge
hes just not proud of me
jk
Algebraic number theory is waltermath?
I should learn the local fields stuff
I'm proud of you for like, everything you do 😭
the rain formerly known as purple
Im joking but ur so sweet
👉 👈 ❤️

delty when someone shows interests in his stuff
did u look at localization yet?
yes this chapter and one dimensional scheme

there's some stuff you might want to look at regarding picard group
that's the thingy where it's equal to the ideal class group when O is dedekind?
yep
There are a couple exercises I should do first before jumping
Afaik no exercises for one dimensional scheme chapter
I'm skimming Chap 1 Neukirch and I forgot that this stuff is kinda cool lol
I'm surprised walter knows hanging fruit = neukirch
Idk what hanging fruit means but I have read most of Chapter 1 so I recognized the screenshot
oh
It's something Neukirch wrote at the very beginning I think
So I just started calling it that
I must've missed that part
I'm still disappointed no exercises for schemes 
You can look at Eisenbud and Harris starting from page 82
I'm not familiar with basic AG
it shouldn't be bad i think
you already know what goes on
it just feels right at home lmao
omg u and the dumb background
Idk anymore I've just been playing guitar these days
Mood
There's some stuff I've been interested in regarding mapping class group actions on covers of surfaces and the induced map on homology upstairs
Did you start recently or you already know how to play?
I've been playing for about 7 months
Oh that means you're good at it
Idk about good but if someone asked me to play something I wouldn't be completely lost
I see
I have some ideas for this mapping class group stuff but it's hard to figure out the existing literature because there's like two approaches coming from the low-dimensional Thurstonian viewpoint people and then also some like hard AG + Hodge theory people who have made a ton of progress more recently
I would probably burn out if I were to catch up on the hodge theory machinery
Some people are already going crazy over it so by the time you pick a problem someone else done it before you 
Such is life
I was learning some rep theory of lattices for a while, that was fun. I might go back and pick up on that again
Lie algebra?
Lattices inside semisimple Lie groups
Nice. I like rep theory but I also haven't done much of it in a great deal of depth. I guess I learned finite dimensional semisimple Lie algebras and then ported some of it over to semisimple Lie groups. The stuff about lattices is cool though because it uses techniques from like ergodic theory and analyzes dynamics of group actions of projective spaces
waltermath is cool
At this point everything is waltermath
