Q: Is it time to replace links to the UCDavis arXiv frontend?

Peter LeFanu LumsdaineThis question from March 2020 points out that many questions/answers link to papers at the http://front.math.ucdavis.edu/ frontend instead of at the arXiv itself, but that the frontend had been down a few weeks. There are c.600 affected questions and it looks like a large proportion of the links...

A: Is it time to replace links to the UCDavis arXiv frontend?

CatijaI've reviewed your request and - while I'd generally want to say "yes, we can do this" - in this case, I'm sorry to say that I don't think it will be possible - at least, not without some effort from you all first. I really do think it's important that the links on this site are functional, so I ...

As someone whose edit history will show his endless appetite for tidying, I would be happy to be part of such a manual effort, which presumably it would be unobjectionable to spread over time. However, is there any way to do it without meaninglessly promoting hundreds of posts to the front page? — LSpice 2 hours ago
@LSpice Something like that was discussed several times, you can see various feature requests around this. (I still hope that this is going to be implemented at some point - but AFAICT, at the moment there is no way to edit posts without bumping.) See also: Minor edits, subject to review (on this meta) or Allow non-bumping minor edits, but review them on /review (on Meta Stack Exchange). — Martin Sleziak 58 secs ago

I see that http://www2.math.kyushu-u.ac.jp/~ssaito/eng/maths/duality.pdf was changed to http://www.artsci.kyushu-u.ac.jp/~ssaito/eng/maths/duality.pdf here: mathoverflow.net/posts/43502/revisions mathoverflow.net/review/suggested-edits/153429
Are other links in the domain math.kyushu-u.ac.jp also that and in need of an update?
The above search returns 9 questions. I did not find any comments.

A: Extensions of the modularity theorem

David LoefflerYes, this is a very active area -- one of the major themes of current research in number theory. Much of the recent work has focussed on proving something slightly weaker, but easier to get at, than modularity. An elliptic curve $E$ over a number field $K$ is said to be potentially modular if t...

The link in the answer seems to be dead. Here is a snapshot from Wayback Machine. Searching for the author and the title also returns also DOI:10.7169/facm/1323705817 - it seems to be freely accessible. — Martin Sleziak 1 min ago

Q: Definition of the weight lattice for a nonreduced root system

D_SLet $(V,\Phi)$ be a root system with dual root system $(V^{\ast},\Phi^{\vee})$. Let $\Delta = \{\alpha_1, ... , \alpha_n\}$ be a set of simple roots for $V$, and let $\Delta^{\vee} = \{\alpha_1^{\vee}, ... , \alpha_n^{\vee}\}$ be the coroots corresponding to $\Delta$. We have the fundamental ...

What am I missing here? Why is http://www.math.ucla.edu/~wdduke/preprints/modularbilliards.pdf not "clickable" in this question: Average value of j-invariant at infinity?

@MartinSleziak Because it is in square brackets, I guess. I guess someone decided to turn off auto-link formatting inside them so that lines like [http://www.example.com](http://www.example.com) work.
 
@FedericoPoloni Wow, I did not realize that.
