About
A mathematical blog by a motley crew of recent and current Berkeley Ph.D. students in mathematics on representation theory, algebraic geometry, knot theory, and whatever else we decide is worth writing about today. We present a mix of current research, more expository posts, and discussion of issues we think are important to the mathematics community.
We are:
How come all you guys are guys? (namely only men)
The short answer is: we were all born that way.
By bizarre coincidence, I’m actually working on a post with a longer answer. Hopefully I’ll have that up in a couple of days.
This blog is roughly the intersection of a particular math/social group (Berkeley grad students who started in 01 or 02 who went to the secret russian seminar and tuesday night dinners) with people who read blogs. The former group contains two or three women (out of say a dozen people), but none of them are into reading blogs. I’d hesitate to draw deep sociological implications from an n of 2.
I may try to get Emily to write a guest post or two once I start my long-delayed series of posts on planar algebras and subfactors.

how come we only care about male/female distinctions?
A recent google search on automorphic representations led me to this crazy blog of yours. How long were you going to keep this a secret from one of your own??
Dude, did you not read the name? Sssh!
