[–] big-green-man 1y ago ↗ Linked paper from the x thread: https://arxiv.org/pdf/2411.19826 [–] aeonik 1y ago ↗ I had ChatGPT summarize this paper for me.It's pretty impressive to me that a single post doc has this much breadth in a single paper.Convex Geometry - Brunn-Minkowski theory - Surface Area Measure Measure Theory - Lebesgue–Stieltjes Measure - Green’s Theorem Differential Geometry - Weak derivatives for boundaries - Trajectories and rotation paths Optimization and Functional Analysis - Quadratic functionals - Concavity and global optimization Combinatorial Geometry - Balanced polygons - Iterative approximation and discretization Computational Geometry - Numerical simulations - Verification of bounds and injectivity Advanced Theorems - Mamikon’s Theorem - Jordan Curve Theorem

[–] jonathrg 1y ago ↗ Would appreciate if someone could summarize the thread here, since tweets after the first are not visible if you don't have an account.
[–] Weetile 1y ago ↗ I think it would probably take me 50 years just to fully comprehend this proof alone. Amazing work.
