Quantitative Rigidity Using Colding's Monotonicity Formulas for Ricci Curvature
In \cite{Colding}, Colding proved monotonicity formulas for the Green function on manifolds with nonnegative Ricci curvature. Inspired by the sharp estimates relating the pinching of monotone quantities to the splitting function in \cite{cjn}, in this paper we investigate quantitative control obtained from pinching of Colding's monotone functionals. From the Green functions with poles at $(k+1)$-many independent points, $k$-splitting functions are constructed with regularity quantitatively cont…

I sent it while logged in to GMail using multiple authentication steps from my home network using a secure laptop. What are they talking about? Serious question: how could they not verify it? It's either an idiotic engineering problem on their end or I'm terrified that security is meaningless. Probably both.

Flock: completed!
I haven't written about it for a while, but I had been playing Flock in small chunks since I started it back in December, until I reached a bit where I couldn't quite parse the instructions. Having identified and charmed the Emperor Cosmot and the Cloaked Rustic, the forests were unveiled and I explored, including the giant mushrooms of the Skyfish Caverns.

Unmarked ICE vehicles were spotted in Santa Barbara County between 6 and 8 a.m. Tuesday, according to community alerts issued by the
"805 Immigrant Coalition"
and "805 UndocuFund".
Advocates said that Santa Barbara County was a point of target on Tuesday,
with videos showing the same vehicles spotted making arrests the previous days patrolling both the Eastside and Westside neighborhoods of Santa Barbara and Carpinteria.
One video taken from a…
