PROS: The blog will live!
CONS: It will have far more capital letters.
CONS: Fewer postings, probably twice a week. But that how Lance started.
I am honored to carry on the tradition, and will have my first real post next week. bill gasarch

The Complexity Blog Lives!
Various people have urged Lance to keep the Blog going, perhaps under new management.
Some have suggested Bill Gasarch (me) . Some have suggested anyone except Bill Gasarch.
Lance flipped a coin and it came up with anyone but bill gasarch . However, not one
to leave things to random chance, Lance offered me to take it over, and I accepted.

Thanks for doing this, Bill. I think the community will help you out with ideas as time goes on.
ReplyDeleteIf you'd like an idea for a post, I note that Paul "Continuum Hypothesis" Cohen just died.
Long live complexity blogs!

ReplyDeleteScott already blogged about that on March 24th.
Le blog est mort! VIVE LE BLOG!
ReplyDeleteIs Lance gonna guest blog?
ReplyDeleteWill Lance be the guest on most complexity casts now?
ReplyDeleteThanks, Bill! What an optimistic end to a dreary week. The "F" tab will stay, even if it changes to "G". I'm looking forward to your contributions.
ReplyDeleteAnd speaking of Hypotheses with capital H's, have you heard any buzz from your mathematical colleagues on the alleged disproof of the Riemann Hypothesis (by an eminent mathematician, at http://arxiv.org/abs/math.NT/0703367)?
-- Fred.
Tribikram Pati is a real mathematician, but I wouldn't call him an eminent mathematician. I count 5 publications since the 1960's, so he is no longer particularly active in research.
ReplyDeleteI don't know of anyone who has found an error in his disproof, but nobody seems to be taking it very seriously. I've flipped through it, and I'm skeptical since I can't identify what makes it work. He messes around in relatively unmotivated ways and then arrives at a contradiction. It feels to me like the sort of proof that is very likely to have a mistake, but of course I can't say for sure.
That's great news!!!
