Absolutely incredible.

NASA Astronaut Reid Wiseman, who commanded Artemis II, took this footage from the far side of the Moon with his iPhone.

Watch with sound on.

It’s inaccurate to say Mario is brave and Luigi is cowardly

Luigi is afraid of death, so he runs away from danger. Mario is afraid of living, so he runs towards death. Both brothers are cowards in their own way

Absolutely heartbreaking. So many mathematicians I know studied there, men AND women.

Maryam Mirzakhani studied there.

If this isn't enough to cancel/relocate from the US the International Congress of Mathematicians #ICM2026, nothing will be.

I can only handle it in small doses before all the indices make me pass out... Lie theory is so soothing by comparison

The next step is taking your space of fields to be the derived quotient by the gauge action. So classically you look at the derived critical locus of an action defined on the derived quotient of the fields by gauge. Then when you quantize the derived intersection gets deformed and becomes fuzzy

Yeah I guess the motivation is that intersections can be badly behaved due to non-transversality and the naive intersection loses information that is kept in the derived picture. The ring of functions on a derived intersection becomes a whole (Koszul) commutative dga but you think of it as functions

Yeah it's a whole saga. There's the koszul complex for the classical derived critical locus and the BV complex that deforms it and how integration becomes cohomology. Then there's the shifted symplectic interpretation. And that's before a gauge group even enters into it! Exposition is badly needed

An introduction to the Batalin-Vilkovisky formalism The aim of these notes is to introduce the quantum master equation $\{S,S\}-2i\hbarΔS=0$, and to show its relations to the theory of Lie algebras representations and to perturbative expansions of Gaus...

Ho boy. Truth is, I haven't found a clean exposition at all. Maybe it's my calling to write one. Costello's "Renormalization and..." has an overview that is very hard to understand. Gwilliam's thesis has a little intro that is way too condensed... Fiorenza is down to earth: arxiv.org/abs/math/040...

First one of these! I gave up trying to get my cat in the frame. Lately I've been trying to understand BV quantization, which has had the side effect of getting me obsessed with representation theory of Lie algebras
