I'm looking at Ivey and Landsberg and they have G2 as the Automorphism group of a 3 form on a 7 vector space
So I'm not sure what your problem is
Had what you said not made sense, I would have commented. But I was sure it was correct.
 
Hmm, I don't think I've ever heard of the automorphism group of a form.
Isotropy group is more appropriate, AFAIK
But hey, I guess it can work ;)
 
Aut(φ)=G
Page 324
 
I believe you :)
 
Oh, you said isotropy group?
 
I said stabilizer
 
7:04 PM
Same thing
 
The reason Automorphism group is a bad way of saying it is
because of course the concept of an "isomorphism of forms" makes no sense
At least not obviously so
So automorphism should also not make sense
Since automorphism should mean self-isomorphism
 
Dude. I've seen people say "the curvature tensors are isomorphic"
 
Ya feel me?
 
People use isomorphism in different ways
Sorry my phone is lagging in the eye doctor's office

How much poisonous is the "poison" equation? — Massimo Ortolano 32 mins ago
 
7:06 PM
@Kaumudi @ACuriousMind @MAFIA36790 @DanielSank yes I'm at the doctors
 
@0celo7 Can I ask you a question?
 
No.
 
Well then...
 
@ACuriousMind oh my god. A bunch of people in my lab are taking Fortran and they're having to pronounce Laplace, Euler, Riemann, Runge-Kutta, etc.
How the hell does one butcher names like that?
It's incredible

user218912
Oyclid
 
@bl00 Assuming I read that right, that would actually be the correct pronounciation.
The eu in Euclid should make the same sound as the eu in Euler.
 
Wrong
 
user218912
@ACuriousMind depends what you mean by correct.
 
We're not Greeks
For instance, it is correct in English to say Bajoran
 
7:13 PM
Only for the inhabitants of Bajor
 
@ACuriousMind I don't agree! Euclid was not German :P
 
@Danu So? The Ancient Greek $\epsilon\upsilon$ made the same sound as the German eu.
 
@ACuriousMind I don't believe that. Really?
 
I seem to recall it has mutated into an "ef" sound in modern Greek
 
My brother has a Master's in classics---let me check.
@ACuriousMind The modern pronunciation is Evvklides
 
7:15 PM
Yeah, that's what I thought
 
the υ now has two pronunciations depending on context
f or v
 
@Danu Otherwise my four years of Ancient Greek have taught me falsities
 
pretty reasonable option :p
 
user218912
it was just a joke lol, now you're arguing about how euclid is pronounced.
 
Not arguing, really
 
user218912
7:17 PM
discussing?
 
It's a ducking fight to the death.
Oh!
@ACuriousMind you should ban Danu and see what happens
 
user218912
@0celo7 what did the doctor say?
 
What happens is that he unsuspends himself :P
 
@0celo7 oiler isn't it
 
@ACuriousMind lmao
@ACuriouMind YOU SO WRROOOOONG :P according to my brother
Well not egregiously wrong, because the supposed actual pronunciation is not a sound your language actually allows for :P
 
7:21 PM
@Danu What is the Ancient Greek pronounciation according to him?
I'm willing to believe that the phonemes don't match exactly, but German eu is the closest sound German has
 
Ehm... I'll try to find the phonetic symbol for it maybe
 
Great, now I'm reading Wiki on Ancient Greek phonology
Thanks for that :D
@Danu You're right, the eu in Euler is ɔʏ in IPA, while Greek $\epsilon\upsilon$ is a true eu in IPA
Oh dear, when I try to pronounce 'eu' it does sound a lot more like You-clid than Euclid...
 
Hahaha
 
Dammit, one more teacher on the list of those who lied to me :P
Although I do have trouble pronouning 'eu' in a way that is distinct from the 'ju' of you and still a single sound
Because what I'm rather certain of is that the Greek $\epsilon\upsilon$ was not two syllables/two distinct vowel sounds
 
7:36 PM
Oh my god my eyes are numb
 
user218912
@0celo7 what?
 
Now I've got my brother also confused :D :D
 
lol
Ahaa
The wiki page on phonology says that many of those diphtongs turned the 'u' sounds into a 'w' sound
 
That's just what my brother was on about, too :D
 
7:43 PM
Although this seems more true if followed by another vowel...otherwise, the 'u' might not have been pronounced at all
It appears we don't have the slightest idea how Euclid was actually called :D
 
I can't see in either eye now
@ACuriousMind German detected
 
Hehe
 
@bl00 my eyes are being dislocated
It's like I'm drunk
 
user218912
@0celo7 did you go to a doctor?
 
No I'm getting my eyes dilated on the side of a road
By a homeless dude
 
user218912
7:48 PM
wait so you're at the doctor now?
 
Ah well, I knew my Latin pronounciation was bogus, now I know it for my Greek, too!
 
Setting yourself up for a Pontryagin, @0celo7?
@ACuriousMind Thus is life
The more you know, the less you know
 
@Danu what?
 
Look it up
 
I'm bad at math, so probably not me
 
user218912
7:50 PM
lol...
 
Also wtf why is everything so far
But in one eye
 
user218912
what did the doctor say???
 
I literally cannot see in one eye anymore
I think I'm broken
 
You should probably get off the internet.
 
user218912
did you get checked out?
 
7:51 PM
I'm in a waiting room
 
user218912
oh
 
user218912
so your eyes are dilated and ur waiting for the doctor?
 
Yes
 
user218912
good
 
user218912
what doctor is it?
 
user218912
7:52 PM
specialist?
 
Retina specialist
 
user218912
okay. gl
 
@0celo7 Eye hope you get better soon :(
 
rob
GOOD LUCK @0celo7
(I'M USING BIG LETTERS SO YOU CAN READ WHILE YOUR EYES ARE DILATED)
 
user218912
@NeuroFuzzy i'm retina get well soon card for him rn.
3
 
7:58 PM
@rob only one eye seems to be dilating properly.
So I'll be waiting even longer once the doctor figures it out
My evidence is that I can read my phone
But only with one eye
 
user218912
the broken eye dilated though right?
 
Nope
 
user218912
:(
 
user218912
are you scared?
 
Why would I be scared?
 
user218912
8:07 PM
I would be scared af.
 
Of what?
 
user218912
of whatever disease is causing my eye to be like that, and of the thought of losing vision in one eye.
 
user218912
:O
 
I already said I'd be fine with losing it
 
user218912
losing it for free?
 
user218912
8:09 PM
wouldn't you rather have it though?
 
Sure.
But we can't always have what we want
It is weird to be at the doctor's without parents though
 
@bl00 0celo7 means business. Vision loss in one eye won't stop him from dominating math
though 2 might be an issue
 
I'm an engineer
 
right
 
user218912
no you're a student.
 
user218912
8:15 PM
what about you become a mathematical research engineer?
 
I don't like math
 
user218912
._.
 
@0celo7 hey engineer guy. If I were to send sound waves via , say a tuning fork, down a column of air with a section of water, would I be hearing the reflected sound waves off the water only, or would I also hear the reflected sound waves that travel all the way to the end of the column and back?
 
Not that kind of engineer.
 
oh right you want to make bombs for 3rd world countries
forgot
 
8:20 PM
No, against them.
To be used against 3rd world countries.
 
@0celo7 youtube.com/watch?v=aWejiXvd-P8 like father like son
 
Ground zero ocean.
We will build the biggest nuke the world has ever seen, and make ISIS pay for it.
 
YEAHHHHHHH!!!!!!!
 
user218912
lolwut
 
user218912
@Obliv "this offends me because I identify as a bomb"
 
8:33 PM
@bl00 plz no flag
 
Flag it if in doubt.
I flag first, and don't ask questions.
 
user218912
Obliv will probably get banned if someone flags that.
 
user218912
for 30 mins
 
user218912
@Obliv look at the comment section lol
 
user218912
@0celo7 btw you could probably get banned for saying this too because it's a big generalization. 3rd world
 
user218912
8:38 PM
@ACuriousMind you should probably delete those comments before someone flags them.
 
@bl00 no I don't want to read garbage.
 
user218912
xD
 
user218912
youtube comment section is always fun.
 
user218912
or it can make you depressed and question humanity.
 
@bl00 do you think there is a physical limitation in measuring this scenario: listening for a signal while a liquid (somewhat) slowly moves down a column with marked ticks (cm) and then marking the location of the liquid when you hear the signal?
I want to say yes but I don't have any concrete reasons.
 
user218912
8:43 PM
@Obliv what's the point of that though?
 
lab report
 
user218912
yes the physical limitation is human error.
 
Gee, thanks. I'm trying to explain what the human error was.
 
No eye cancer.
 
user218912
it won't be accurate at all because your brain takes a few milliseconds to process the signal and then a few milliseconds to mark it.
 
user218912
8:44 PM
but if it was a machine it would mark it basically instantly and accurately.
 
user218912
also you could be off in your marking too.
 
user218912
@0celo7 what is it then?
 
@0celo7 did you ask him if it was eye cancer?
 
@bl00 I need stronger glasses.
@Obliv he told me to stop trolling :(
 
user218912
@0celo7 what...
 
8:46 PM
Even in real life @0celo7 gets called a troll
@0celo7 you should probably stay off of 4chan for a while until your eye heals. Probably a leading factor in this issue.
@bl00 I think it was the 2nd explanation you gave. The first doesn't strike me as a reason for error. There is delay in processing the information but when it is processed, you should know exactly where the liquid was when you heard it. Though, the truth is the signal is an antinode of a sound wave so the spot you think the antinode was, was probably not it.
 
user218912
@Obliv when r u going to university?
 
user218912
2017 fall?
 
user218912
@Obliv no the delay causes an error too because you're not marking it exactly when the signal sounds.
 
@Obliv Goes to University of the Moon
 
user218912
that would be a sick university.
 
user218912
8:53 PM
lol did you see that episode of dr. who where the hospital gets teleported to the moon? with an oxygen bubble around it?
 
user218912
that's how university of the moon would look like probably.
 
@bl00 I went with "The detected antinode must be perfectly coordinated in both hearing and vision"
 
user218912
@Obliv wow sounds legit.
 
9:15 PM
@bl00 he's a sophomore
 
Wait this doesn't make sense. If the antinode is located at the air-water border, then why are we hearing the antinode?
Oh Okay so the reflected wave is at the amplitude of the incident wave.
It doesn't change.
 
I think the eye doctor made a mistake on the note
the prescription for the glasses
 
If it's only in one eye you should totally wear a monocle @0celo7
This lab is b.s. it's not resonance if the sound waves end at antinodes. There is no fundamental frequency here
 
9:53 PM
Goddamn notation. Taking $\mathbb{C}^2/\{\pm1\}$ at face value, I was wondering "which" of the two $1,-1$ pairs should be identified. Now I'm reasonably sure the authors actually mean the group $\mathbb{Z}_2$ acting on $\mathbb{C}^2$ in...some way, probably mirroring or half-rotation.
 
@ACuriousMind What?
 
Which of the two to leave, which one to "move"
 
Oh.
 
@ACuriousMind But that notation is pretty standard AFAIK.
 
Trying to read math on the phone doesn't work.
 
9:55 PM
@Danu Doesn't make it less terrible! Luckily this one was easily seen because they remove "the singularity at zero" on the next page.
 
Haven't you seen it in e.g. the definition of $\Bbb R\rm P^n$?
$S^n/\{\pm 1\}$?
 
I have.
 
It denotes the antipodal involution
 
$S^n/\mathbb{Z}_2$ in my world, always
 
Weird.
 
9:57 PM
Nopez
 
@ACuriousMind It's probably what Danu wrote in BBS
 
@Danu See, would writing "the quotient of complex space by the antipodal involution, $\mathbb{C}^2/\{\pm 1\}$" instead of just writing $\mathbb{C}^2/\{\pm 1\}$ been so hard?
I can live with terrible notation as long as it's explained the first time it is used
 
@ACuriousMind That's what your topology professor in alg. top. 1 does for you :D
Blame your professor :D
 
No, he was awesome
 
@bl00 That joke was kind of cornea
 
10:01 PM
I can't fucking see in the other eye now
 
10:12 PM
@Danu Yes hi i am new to physics. What is the antipoodle revolution?
 
lol
 
It was the terrible time after the terriers came to power
 
10:29 PM
@ACuriousMind I Deleted The Question But I still have questions for you or anyone after I'm done with this lab
 
Ok I can see again in that eye :)
 
@Obliv Well, I didn't mean for you to delete the question, I just left the comment because what the correct answer is would have depended on the answer to that comment.
 
OKay
 
ACM is a tyrant
 
I loaded up the data set from hanford on the first LIGO detection
it's 32 seconds around the detection
this is gonna need some clean up :P
 
10:40 PM
>Mac
Wow
 
what's wrong with Mac?
 
@ACuriousMind yeah actually you're right. I thought I phrased the question wrongly when I Deleted it. I'll look over it afterward
 
I switched from Gentoo a year ago now
macports isn't nearly as good as portage but it gets by....
 
@GPhys I've been told macs are terrible
 
o
it's a decent laptop, I think
 
10:44 PM
I love mine
 
haven't had any heat issues, keyboard is fine
 
But people always tell me it's terrible
 
user218912
windows is always glitchy and unresponsive every now and then.
 
I like Windows too
 
user218912
haven't had that issue with macOS.
 
10:46 PM
@GPhys I dual boot
 
I haven't used Windows since I was a kid, so I'm not sure these days
 
Tfw there's a dude in a robe with nothing else on
College is weird.
 
11:07 PM
Hello, all
Well, absence of people, anyway.
 
@heather no cancer.
 
@0celo7, good! Glad you finally went to the doctor. =)
 
11:34 PM
@0celo7, real analysis...do you have a textbook recommendation?
 
Abbott.
 
okay
just finished my spanish homework
 
user218912
@heather normally people learn calculus before analysis.
 
user218912
you need to be able to do computations first it's more important for physics
 
@bl00, hmm, now that I think about it, that does make sense (the calculus bit)
and I know about the whole "in-order" thing
I am going in order
I'm just also going out of order at the same time =P
 
11:41 PM
The order is so overrated.
 
@0celo7, right? In school it's like, oh, do this, do that, do the same thing 5 years in a row for elementary, now you can get to the good stuff =)
I just read the proof of the irrationality of 2.
<3
so beautiful
Have a good night everyone.
 
bye
bed time already?
 
11:58 PM
@heather The proof of the irrationality of e is more beautiful
