How is your representation theory stuff relevant to my work on Diophantine equations? :-P
-
Well, in both subjects one often works with a system consisting of a ring of integers and its residue fields...
-
--where we think of the field of fractions as the residue 0 field, of course--and solving at the residue fields gives us local data
-
That said, I don't know much about group actions on diophantine systems. Although it would be interesting to lift my constructions

...from the kG category to the ZG category, where there are a lot of unsolved problems that might be addressed.

I loved pure mathematical analysis, especially complex analysis. It's beauty drove me to change major from physics to mathematics.
-
I was never very good at it! All those inequalities...
-
Well, real analysis I mean. I did OK with complex. Much more structure to it.

But what does modular representation theory have to with HEGEL?
-
Nothing, I hope.
