A Complete Characterization of Finite-Order Entire Solutions to Fermat-Type Partial Differential-Difference Systems in $\mathbb{C}^n$
Sujoy Majumder, Jhilik Banerjee, Abhijit Banerjee
https://arxiv.org/abs/2606.05240 https://arxiv.org/pdf/2606.05240 https://arxiv.org/html/2606.05240
arXiv:2606.05240v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: The primary objective of this paper is to determine the explicit existence form and structure of finite-order entire solutions in $\mathbb{C}^n$ of the following system of Fermat-type partial differential-difference equations: \[\begin{cases} \left(\frac{\partial f_1\left(z\right)}{\partial z_1}\right)^{n_1} (f_2 \left(z c\right)-f_1(z) )^{m_1}= 1,
\medskip \left(\frac{\partial f_2\left(z\right)}{\partial z_1}\right)^{n_2} (f_1 \left(z c \right)-f_2(z) )^{m_2}= 1, \end{cases}\]
for different choices of the positive integers $n_1$, $n_2$, $m_1$, and $m_2$, where $c=(c_1,c_2,\ldots,c_n)$. We characterize the precise structure of finite-order transcendental entire solutions and extend the results of Xu et al. \cite{XLL1} from the setting of $\mathbb{C}^2$ to the more general space $\mathbb{C}^m$. In addition, several examples are presented to demonstrate the effectiveness and sharpness of the main results.

[…] and I opened the case (politely examined by the guards of the Palace at four stages of my approach to the Red Hall) that held my ansible and some pictures. The pictures—films, photos, paintings, actives, and some cubes—were a little gallery of Man: people of Hain, Chiffewar, and the Cetians, of S and Terra and Alterra, of the Utter-mosts, Kapteyn, Ollul, Four-Taurus, Rokanan, Ensbo, Cime, Gde and Sheashel Haven … The king glanced at a couple without interest. “What’s this?”
“A person from Cime, a female.” I had to use the word that Gethenians would apply only to a person in the culminant phase of kemmer [a cyclical period of heightened sexual activity during which secondary gender characteristics emerge], the alternative being their word for a female animal.
“Permanently?”
“Yes.”
He dropped the cube and stood swinging from foot to foot, staring at me or a little past me, the firelight shifting on his face. “They’re all like that—like you?”
This was the hurdle I could not lower for them. They must, in the end, learn to take it in their stride.
“Yes. Gethenian sexual physiology, so far as we yet know, is unique among human beings.”
“So all of them, out on these other planets, are in permanent kemmer? A society of perverts? So Lord Tibe put it; I thought he was joking. Well, it may be the fact, but it’s a disgusting idea, Mr. Ai, and I don’t see why human beings here on earth should want or tolerate any dealings with creatures so monstrously different. […]”

Given the ease with which many of Trump's false statements are debunked,
I think it's unlikely that he aims to deceive anyone.

As he is not attempting to deceive, Trump isn't lying when he makes such claims. Rather, he is doing someth…

I gave the Strangers in a Tangled Wilderness crew the significant challenge of trying to make me sound coherent in this interview with Inmn Neruin. I was managing some pretty significant sleep deprivation and a mild cold, but I think it turned out pretty good (despite my best efforts).
But I did talk a lot about my trauma related to some of my experience living in #rural areas, and in doing that I was definitely not as careful as I could have been to talk about that as a trauma experience rather than as reality. Some people get trapped in rural areas, but other folks live there because they find beautiful things.
Not only is #RuralOrganizing critical (Trumpism grew out of areas neglected by "the left"), but rural living can be beautiful and rewarding. I briefly mentioned growing up throwing knives. A friend of mine lived way out in the woods, and there's something special about having a playground that spans several square miles. Intertwined with the old settler colonialism, antisemitism, *phobias, and isolation, that is at the heart of a lot of my personal rural misery, there's also a joyous and feral thing that taught me a lot and, I think, helped me organize more fearlessly. That thing is both individualist and collectivist, in different ways, and I don't think it's well understood without experiencing it. There's far more nuance than I was able to offer (and I definitely could have been more careful not to play into anti-rural stereotypes).
I think I said, "no one wants to live there." People do. You do. So let me try to fix that by giving you a chance to talk about that. I also talked about how slow things move, how nothing changes, but there are also sometimes opportunities to change things in huge ways specifically because structures don't exist to stop those changes. So while I'm bumping this zine and interview, also I want to use this as an opportunity to welcome my rural comrades to help fill in the gaps:
What draws you to where you are?
Do you choose to live in a rural area vs urban, and why?
Is there any other thing I've said that you would like to correct?
What other things should folks know?
