Topic: Algebraic Geometry Library


Brian Nugent (Dec 04 2025 at 00:51):

Hello! I am a postdoc at the University of Utah working in algebraic geometry and I would like to contribute to the AG library in mathlib. I just finished formalizing some facts about Artinian schemes (quasi-compact schemes that are locally spec of Artinian rings) and I'm about to make my first PR. Is there anyone currently working on the AG library in mathlib?

Pinging the usual suspects: @Andrew Yang @Christian Merten @Junyan Xu

Andrew Yang (Dec 04 2025 at 00:53):

Hi! There are a few active contributors to algebraic geometry in mathlib but not many. AFAIK no-one is working on artinian schemes and we would love a PR on that! Feel free to request my review once that is open.

Brian Nugent (Dec 04 2025 at 00:54):

Thanks! How do I request a particular reviewer on my PR?

Christian Merten (Dec 04 2025 at 00:55):

On a pull request, in the top right there is a "Reviewers" section. If you click on the little wheel, you can select a reviewer.

Andrew Yang (Dec 04 2025 at 00:56):

There are these panels on the sidebar of a PR page once you opened it and you can select me (erdOne). But also you can just ask here or on the #PR reviews channel or just DM me :)

Got it, thank you! I just opened the PR.

Adam Topaz (Dec 04 2025 at 01:01):

@Brian Nugent if you PR number is ***** and you write #***** here, it would create a link and provide additional visibility to reviewers.

Oh, that's cool

This is what I see on my own PR:

I think having the "Request" button and cog wheels as in your screenshot requires permissions to the repo, no?
Is Mathlib still willing to give permissions to contributors, now that it transitioned to fork-based workflows?

Christian Merten (Dec 04 2025 at 16:37):

Can you not click on "Reviewers"? Brian managed to request a review on the above PR and they are a new contributor, so don't have any special permissions.

Snir Broshi (Dec 04 2025 at 16:48):

No, there's nothing clickable other than "Convert to draft".
Also the "Edit" button at the top only lets me edit the PR title.
What am I doing wrong then? I'd really appreciate help on solving this, especially if it'll let me edit tags :folded_hands:

Andrew Yang (Dec 04 2025 at 16:52):

I think you might need triage access to do this, which Brian somehow does seem to have.

How do I get such access?

Kim Morrison (Dec 11 2025 at 07:33):

@Snir Broshi, please check your email inbox for an invite for triage access.

Thank you!
