Starting next week — or as soon as it becomes administratively feasible — a substantial MathOverflow reputation bonus will be attached to this MOFL roadmap (motto: “MOFL reputations are beyond price”).
My own opinions amount to an burgeoning appreciation all participants have many good insights to offer. Happy STEM treasure-hunting, everyone! 🙂
Following-up on a (very enjoyable!) chat yesterday evening with Aram (Harrow) and Steve (Flammia), there is now on MathOverflow a newly-posted question titled Harris’ “Algebraic Geometryâ€, quantum dynamics on varieties, and a more-than-monetary reward, that seeks to specify concrete math-and-physics foundations for meeting Scott Aaronson’s wonderful challenge:
