A bit late to the party, it seems; congrats a bunch, @Danu!

Hello, @TedShifrin!

They don't (and neither do I.)

I wouldn't know. My DG-friends are all afraid that the world will slowly turn them into physicists.

Like a proper ex-physicist :)

What was your thesis on?

Good. Bonn is very highly competitive, I imagine.

Ahh, then it makes sense. Which other places are you applying to?

Oh. IIRC you started with physics and changed to math, right?

Or am I getting old?

Wait, @Danu, didn't you just enter your msc?

Hi @TedShifrin!

@TedShifrin Quite well. Been stuck on the same problem for a few days now which is always a tad depressing.

Hi @TedShifrin. How are you?

Hellu @TedShifrin

Hellu @TedShifrin. How's life?

Hi @Astyx

Wow, this is the first time I've heard the word "Lindelof" since my first topology course.

Wait I don't. That's not nice.

Ohh we all have burning logs on our pictures. That's nice.

Having my first lazy day in far too long. Finished my exams and teaching duties yesterday.

Hellu @TedShifrin. What's up?

@TedShifrin Yeah, a chatroom for nonresearch level maths might not be the best idea for math students.

Quite well. Using the fact that I just finished one exam to procrastinate practicing for the next (and more important) one.

How are you?

Hellu @TedShifrin!

@Danu Yeey. I'll be working through part of Huybrechts book on Fourier-Mukai transforms next semester.

Yup. How's life, @TedShifrin and @Danu?

Hellu!

Hellu.

@MikeMiller Tried your question using silly Hatcher chap4-tricks. Didn't work.

@TobiasKildetoft mathoverflow.net/questions/254453/… This was a good question imo.

@Danu We're still just kids so we shouldn't worry about "research level". Glad it went well

Oh, congrats on your seminar, @Danu. What did you talk about?

@BalarkaSen Eh, it's probably fine. I've never used connected sums in my life so I don't consider myself a qualified judge.

Now I'm going to google "albeit" and check if I used it correctly.

(Albeit a bad one.)

Yesh, it was a joke.

Isn't the formal definition of connected sum "cut holes and mash em together?"

Haha, I suppose.

Did anyone trustworthy confirm Atiyah's proof?

It is indeed.

Haha, I don't think that's too unusual. Glad you're doing well.

@MikeMiller Did your idea end up working?

Why is the algebra part of algebraic geometry so much easier than the geometry one?

Yes, you have made no argument as to why that should be true.

(I've heard) they're not that scary once you get used to them, as most things in math.

Are there non-affine schemes for which the structure sheaf generates the derived category of quasi-coherent sheaves?

Here you go: ams.org/journals/proc/1960-011-01/S0002-9939-1960-0118757-0/…

This is the Eilenberg-Watts theorem. Watts' paper from 1960 should be readily available online.
