@ProfM Thanks so much for the support !! I think topological-matter will be nice since topological-condensed-matter would just be a strict subset of condensed-matter which would probably be tagged anyway whenever topological-condensed-matter is used. Maybe topological-matter could have some use when studying topological phenomena in different types of plasmas or exotic phases of matter that are not "condensed".

@ProfM maybe 200 years from now, astrophysicists will study "topological dark matter" and we'll be happy that our tag is topological-matter rather than only topological-condensed-matter 😂😂😂

@NikeDattani I agree, I don't see a need for a hessian tag. For most of them, geometry-optimization should be sufficient and any other cases can just fall under mathematical-modeling (or some more specific tag for the question).

@Tyberius I've now removed the "Hessian" tag from the two question which were unanswered. I left it on two questions that already have answers, since I didn't want to bump them up at this very moment when we've had an influx of unanswered questions, but the Hessian tag now has only 2 questions, and it will be easy to burninate later.

I thought about making a tag synonym, but Hessian isn't always used for geometry-optimization: one question was about frequencies, and other questions might just be about the mathematics or numerical computing techniques. The fact that we got 4 questions with that tag may simply be because the tag existed since very early on, which doesn't necessarily mean that people will continue wanting to use it after it's removed.

@NikeDattani "topological dark matter" hahahaha

@NikeDattani Speaking of tags to remove, I don't think we need soft-question. Its only on 10 posts (1 closed), it doesn't have a clear meaning, and I don't think anyone is watching this tag.

@NikeDattani The hessian tag is probably extra, I don't see a good reason for it. I support that removal. I think its non-descriptive and nobody would want to look for that tag for a question in my opinion.
