| I'll be coming home on Saturday. Our paper is complete; you can read it here:

Some miscellaneous things:
1. My dorm is full of spiders. When I was showering last night, there were three spiders in there with me. A spider dropped down from my ceiling light last night; I smashed him with a binder. I shared a toilet stall with two spiders earlier today. As Nick Wage put it, "What the fuck is up with all these fucking spiders?"
2. I'll be having a graduation party on Sunday, August 20th. Kind of late, I know, but hopefully people will still be around.
3. Brown fall courses, hopefully: Abstract algebra, linear algebra, introduction to Judaism, and a seminar on Stravinsky (or Mozart).

| Suppose L(s) is a qudratic Dirichlet L-function such that all the zeros in the critical strip lie either on the critical line or the real axis. Then the zeros on the real axis, in fact, do not exist.

| I've been in Wisconsin for about two weeks now. If you ever have the chance to come here, I suggest you do. I bike everywhere. On Saturdays I go to the farmer's market on the capitol green, under the shadow of the state capitol. We're taking turns cooking for each other, which is also working out well so far. As a group, there is literally no friction or competitiveness, which I was surprised by. On the math end of things, we've been divided into groups to work on specific projects of our choosing. A girl from Swarthmore and myself are working on Shimura lifts, which essentially map complicated functions to slightly less complicated functions while preserving properties of the more complicated one. In technical terms, we're looking to explicitly compute the lift for products of Eisenstein series and cuspidal theta functions. We're essentially trying to generalize work of Atle Selberg, a Fields medalist (the Nobel prize of math); in this regard, the difficulty of the projects presented to us as options is exceeded only by the enthusiasm and confidence of Professor Ono (the guy in charge).
Pictures soon.
