Hi! Sorry but
(1) I don't use discord.
(2) I don't remember much anything about Fourier stuff.

I think I understood enough to keep my dumb algebraist fingers away from my keyboard to prevent myself from even trying to write any more dumb ideas. Thanks for the explanation. An integral over field configurations sounds like an abomination. No wonder there is no general theory. Scary stuff.

Hi /mg/!

Someone may find this interesting:
>In this age of rapidly increasing access to ever larger data sets, it has become clear that studying the “shape” of data using the tools of combinatorial and algebraic topology can lead to much deeper insights than other standard methods when analyzing complex data sets. Topological data analysis (TDA) is the exciting and highly active new field of research that encompasses these productive developments at the interface of algebraic topology, statistics, and data science. This workshop will consist of a small number of plenary one-hour lectures by leading researchers in the field, a larger number of contributed short talks from early-career researchers, live demos of software, a problem session, and a poster session. The speakers will cover a wide range of topics, from theory to concrete applications of TDA in science and engineering. The goals of the workshop are to foster scientific interactions across the growing breadth of the applied topology community and to provide an opportunity for algebraic topologists, statisticians, and data scientists curious about this dynamic new field to learn more about it.

3 remarks:
(1) I'm not a PhD yet.
(2) Should I ever actually graduate, my results would most likely be niche stuff nobody gives a f*ck about.
(3) Should somebody actually care about what I have managed to come up with, I will still have lost at life pretty much in every other way.
Even in the best scenario for me, you will have won me in the bigger game. On the other hand, must you think of this as a competition?
