  1. Lie TheoryProof

    Why the Dynkin List Ends

    A proof-driven route from simple roots to the finite Dynkin diagrams, using positive-definite Cartan forms, spectral radius, Schur complements, and a determinant recurrence to explain both the infinite families and the exceptional cases.

  2. Algebraic GeometryConcept

    What a Point Cannot See

    A single tangency forces a change in what we mean by geometric space, leading from polynomial zero sets to spectra, nilpotents, infinitesimal probes, and families over a base.
