Motives and Deligne’s Conjecture, Part 2: Examples

We will see that this illustrates a case of Deligne’s conjecture. We’ll start with the following simple task: describe Artin motives (“motives of dimension 0”) over a number field K. We will see that a reasonable category of dimension-0 motives is equivalent to a category of finite-dimensional Galois representations. We will be interested in the determinant of the period matrix of such objects....

Part of my liver.

My ex-wife called and asked if I would give her part of my liver. I asked if she could wait until I died. She said that would be too late. I was in good health, and she needed a liver transplant this year. “Please, Frank,” she said, “I’m not asking you to decide right now. Just take the blood test to see if we’re compatible.” “Marie,” I said, “20 years of marriage proved that we are not compati...

Mini-Fast with Exercise – My Personal Experience

Back in 1984, I visited China and Japan in the course of attending an international scientific congress on dietary selenium. After I had been walking around in Tokyo for a couple of days, a thought suddenly struck me: “Where are the fat people?” I literally recall seeing only one Japanese I considered fat during my several days in Japan – and that was a fellow dressed in a business suit in the ...

My experience with cubital tunnel syndrome

Cubital tunnel syndrome can be defined as a compressive neuropathy of the ulnar nerve around the elbow from the arcade of Struthers to the flexor-pronator aponeurosis. However, this complex neuropathy is related not only with compressive force but also with tensile force caused by elongation of the ulnar nerve while flexing the elbow joint and with friction force caused by excursion of the nerv...
