    • I’ve created a page for the Witt vectors. It seems that even with all that I wrote here (don’t worry I had a set of about 10 blog entries I wrote a few months ago that I just condensed, so I didn’t write this whole thing tonight) there are all sorts of things still missing here. The Witt functor is mention at Lambda-ring and there seems to be connections to the field with one element (?!). I just needed to refer to Witt vectors in the next few pages I want to make, so I decided this had to come first. Dieudonne module will need it and obviously Witt cohomology will need it.

    • killed a spam page, now called spam

    • The entry Borel-Weil theorem mentions extensions of the theorem to quantum groups, without however giving a reference. I just got an email asking for these.

      The statement dates from August 19, 2009, due to Zoran.

    • I began adding proofs of Lemma 1-4 to the page transfinite construction of free algebras. The layout of the two array environment has to be fixed; proof of 3-4 to be added.

      Any help/suggestion is extremely appreciated!

    • Someone (anonymous) has created an empty page oon finite dimensional vector spaces.

    • needed to point to restricted product, so I created a bare (and unsophisticated) minimum

    • I mostly wanted to record the correct meaning of this term. Then maybe later I can use this as a reference to fix Wikipedia (^_^). But there's a bit more here too.

      imaginary number

    • Edited biholomorphic function to follow the same format as diffeomorphism. In particular, this means that I qualified biholomorphic function to refer only to maps between complex manifolds. Is there a more general definition of holomorphic functions between complex analytic spaces?

    • the entry p-adic number had (and has) its Definition-section filled with a lengthy recollection of the p-adic integers. I have split into two subsections, such as to make it more clear where the actual definition begins.

    • in non-archimedean analytic geometry there is a standard concept of quasi-net used notably in the definition of Berkovich analytic spaces.

      I have created a minumum entry on this, in the course of creating a bunch of non-archimedean analytic entries. But clearly this needs some comment on terminology. Help is welcome.

    • started real space

      (of course that may eventually want to be disambiguated, but maybe for the moment it’s okay)

    • I worked a bit on bringing the list of structures present in a cohesive (oo,1)-topos into shape, expanding it and filling in details. See the table of contents at cohesive (infinity,1)-topos.

    • Added some more (basic) information on complex conjugation to complex numbers.

    • I have touched étale groupoid and various entries related to this.

      I have made orbit space redirect to orbit, though eventually it might want to be a separate entry.

      Also I have made foliation theory redirect to folitation, though eventually it might want to be a separate entry.

      I have added Deligne-Mumford stack as a “related concept” to étale groupoid, though eventually what I am after is a complex of entries that discusses approaches to a general notion of étale ∞-groupoids and how these sub-entries fit into a more general story.

      So I’ll be creating a stub étale ∞-groupoid, but I am not sure if I have time and energy to have it be more than a reminder for things to look into later.

    • The relation between slope-(semi-)stability of vector bundles and the general concept of (semi-)stability in the sense of geometric invariant theory seems to be a well-kept secret as far as expositions and lecture notes etc. go. One place where I see a genuine review of this relation is

      • Alfonso Zamora Saiz, On the stability of vector bundles, Master thesis 2009 (pdf)

      I have created an entry

      (with a bunch of variant terms redirecting to it) that is presently just a glorified pointer to the relevant pages in this thesis. Then I have added related comments to the existing entries

    • might anyone have an electronic copy of the English version of Brylinski-Zucker 91 “An overview of recent advances in Hodge theory”?

    • have added to normed field the statement that if the product preserves the norm strictly (by equality, not just by inequality) then one speaks of a “valued field”.

    • I created the page walking structure. I’m open to better names for it. It also probably needs to be linked from a bunch of different places.

    • added to real analytic space the statement and reasoning of Whitneys’s theorem (unformatted for the moment, am in a rush)

    • have added some more references to logarithmic geometry and cross-linked a bit. (but there is still no genuine content)

    • I have deleted a sentence that is not correct. See the last discussion on cellular model category.
      By the way, how do you sign in to nLab. I am signed in to the forum but when I edited it was shown as anonymous coward...
    • I have deleted some sentences that are not correct. See the last discussion on cellular model category.
    • I have deleted some statements that are not correct. It is quite obvious that what I have deleted is wrong, in fact the restatement given a few lines later is the verification of the condition that that map is onto (which is definitely not automatic).
    • started a minimum at analytification, mainly interested for the moment in collecting the references now given there which discuss analytification of algebraic (etc.) stacks

    • I have expanded just a little at KR-theory by giving it an actual Idea-paragraph and adding some more references.

    • I noticed tha tthe entry separable closure existed but was effectively devoid of content. I have now copy-and-pasted the relevant paragraphs from the entry Galois theory into it.

    • I wrote a bit at heap about the empty heap (and its automorphism group, the empty group, which I put in the headline for maximum shock value).

    • Over on MO (in the comments here) Stefan Wendt kindly reminds me of an old nnLab entry I once started on B1-homotopy theory. Have added a reference and hope to be adding more.

    • started Hodge cycle, but my battery is dying right this moment….
