Just got in my hotel near LAX,
14 hours from Singapore. I watch movies and work on math problems. Damn, hard problem I’m working on.
Turns out I’ve been working ten days trying to prove something that isn’t true. F me. I really should have seen it, damnit. I did take it pretty far, showing that if two maximal irreducible subspaces intersect, they do so exactly at the intersection of their respective boundaries (had been trying to prove they don’t intersect at all), so that’s something, but it’s something that should have been apparent from the get go. Kind of like Devyn Ford forgetting to take a knee.
As to my cold, better but still not well enough to go to the gym, another big f me.
