Enjoy zero-divisor.
I am more used not to see the dash here, like in the wikipedia article.
I too would prefer ’zero divisor’ over ’zero-divisor’, out of a sense of familiarity. Doubtless Toby has some ’logical reason’ for the hyphen. But I enjoyed the article nonetheless.
Enjoy zero. I like being the first to write stubs on these very basic notions, since I imagine that centuries hence, the Lab will become a sprawling and time-honored source for all the most important ideas in mathematics, surrounded by legends and rumors, and someday some kid will take an article like category or object or morphism or true or zero and traced it back through hundreds of revisions to see who started it… and they’ll find me, grinning back at them.
Of course in reality civilization will collapse before this happens, but still, it’s a fun game.
I see Mike got element while Toby got set… and Urs got n-category.
In the future, when the origins of mathematics are lost in the mists of time but the nLab edit history has been meticulously preserved, we will get the credit for inventing these things. Too bad we’ll be dead!
So will you get credit for inventing the empty set? I haven’t checked.
Yep.
