Asymptotics of shortest filling closed multi-geodesics
In this paper, we investigate the asymptotics of shortest filling closed multi-geodesics of closed hyperbolic surfaces as systole $\to 0$ or as genus $\to \infty$. We first show that for a closed hyperbolic surface $X_g$ of genus $g$, the length of a shortest filling closed multi-geodesic of $X_g$ is uniformly comparable to $$\left(g+\sum\limits_{\textit{closed geodesic }γ\subset X_g, \ \ell(γ)<1}\log \left(\frac{1}{\ell(γ)}\right)\right).$$ As an application, we show that as $g\to \infty$, …

Elon Musk, an white undocumented immigrant, can destroy the Govt & he's praised. A brown immigrant and US citizen can get elected to NYC Mayor & he's a danger. smh

But will I ever stop feeling like I need to wash my hands every time I touch an object, either while I'm outside my house or when I'm in my house but the object recently entered it from out there? I know logically that isn't a useful precaution against the diseases currently circulating,* but my brain has still not been able to convince my gut.
* It is one of the useful precautions against influenza, but right now is not flu season where I am.

Tänk er ett samtal där du ställer en fråga, får ett svar och sen lägger personen på. Har den missförstått frågan måste du starta ett nytt samtal, men den som svarar denna gång vet inte varför du fick det svar du fick förra gången och svarar helt sonika någonting annat... och lägger på.
Låter det frustrerande?
Det är det!
Öppnar mitt tredje 'samtal' med denna text - är jag för hård?

A sad passing of a pillar of my sense of humor. My father gave me a copy of That Was the Year That Was when I was about 10 years old and it tickled me in a way that little has since, save maybe Monty Python. May you rest in peace with no pigeons to be found. 🐦

Vanishing, Unbounded and Angular Shifts on the Quotient of the Difference and the Derivative of a Meromorphic Function
We show that for a vanishing period difference operator of a meromorphic function \( f \), there exist the following estimates regarding proximity functions, \[ \lim_{η\to 0} m_η\left(r, \frac{Δ_ηf - aη}{f' - a} \right) = 0 \] and \[ \lim_{r \to \infty} m_η\left(r, \frac{Δ_ηf - aη}{f' - a} \right) = 0, \] where \( Δ_ηf = f(z + η) - f(z) \), and \( |η| \) is less than an arbitrarily small quantity \( α(r) \) in the second limit. Then, under certain assumptions on the grow…
