Stream: FLT-regular

Topic: This stream is not world-readable


Kevin Buzzard (Dec 06 2023 at 21:06):

Tao's #Polynomial Freiman-Ruzsa conjecture stream was world-readable, and I certainly plan on making the FLT stream which I use for FLT-Wiles world-readable. But this stream isn't. If we make it public do all the old messages then become public? Shall we just change it back to FLT-regular and make a new world-readable FLT?

Oh I didn't know it wasn't public. But maybe it's best to revert and make a new one then.

Its public for people with a zulip account, just they have to sign in. I don't know the answer to Kevin's question, sounds like one for #Zulip meta , but I'm sure nobody here would mind as all messages here are essentially public anyways

I guess the problem is that if they are visible, then someone new looking at the stream might find it hard to see the split between the projects. Someone might come on a try and prove Hilbert 92 again! (Although I do expect in practice this isn't too much of a risk( the getting confused, not the Hilbert 92 thing))

/poll Should we rename this stream back to FLT-regular and make a new world-readable FLT stream?
Yes
No let's do something else (explain below)

I want to start doing things! I'm writing Lean code and have questions.

Kevin Buzzard (Dec 07 2023 at 01:12):

I have a cool question about implementing a lemma about Frey curves which is really trivial to explain but my Lean justification is horrible :-/

Johan Commelin (Dec 07 2023 at 03:08):

I suggest we wait for @Riccardo Brasca's opinion. I'm happy to create the new stream if he agrees.

Riccardo Brasca (Dec 07 2023 at 07:27):

Ok for me!

Johan Commelin (Dec 07 2023 at 07:37):

Ok, here's the new stream: #FLT
