Hi Boris, I have seen you editing [[Limit theorems]]. Since I have developed some software to automatically remap the references and to find the MR and Zbl links: Should I give it a try for this page and you check correctness?

It definitely saves time. If you agree: I usually combine the references if there are several ones  (and also try to integrate comments into the text or make it another paragraph). Should I do the same in this case? --[[User:Ulf Rehmann|Ulf Rehmann]] 18:34, 6 March 2012 (CET)

: I never object to any improvement of any article. And, in terms of Wikipedia, I am never the owner of an article (unless we introduce such notion); authorship on a wiki is collective (unless the contrary is explicitly stated). Yes, I know you have, and use, such a software. Very nice. I just added MSC to "Limit theorems" (as well as to many other articles). Hopefully my edits do not hinder your program. Please do. --[[User:Boris Tsirelson|Boris Tsirelson]] 19:30, 6 March 2012 (CET)

:: Thanks, I know your ideas concerning wiki, but since this software is just in test state, I'd like to get your cooperation. So one item was not found at all, two other were doubled (as there is part one and two, an additional info which may be helpful to readers). In case you find an instance by hand in MR/Zbl which wasn't found by my program please let me know. Sometimes this happens because a title or something else was misspelled.

::: Yes, I see. Well, I know Paulauskas personally; he was misspelled. But I wonder, why MR states 1989 but ZBL states 1987 for that book. --[[User:Boris Tsirelson|Boris Tsirelson]] 20:54, 6 March 2012 (CET)
:::: It could be an error, or there was a reprint. --[[User:Ulf Rehmann|Ulf Rehmann]] 22:41, 6 March 2012 (CET)
::: About the doubled MR, I am afraid, it is more puzzling than helpful; if indeed the other volume is helpful, it should be included into the bibliography (not necessarily as a separate item). In fact, I did so in "[[Measure space#F]]". --[[User:Boris Tsirelson|Boris Tsirelson]] 20:59, 6 March 2012 (CET)

:::: This probably depends on the situation. Sometimes errata are detected that way. --[[User:Ulf Rehmann|Ulf Rehmann]] 22:41, 6 March 2012 (CET)
::: I also wonder why the book by Petrov appears twice on ZBL, as "Akademie-Verlag" and as "Springer". --[[User:Boris Tsirelson|Boris Tsirelson]] 21:04, 6 March 2012 (CET) 
:::: At that time Germany had been (strictly!) divided, and one company did sell in the east, the other in the west. Look at the review: Springer sells for 92 'DM', while Akademie sells for 92 'M' (two different currencies). Zentralblatt was used in both parts, hence they advertised both editions. 
:::: But it happens very often that different editions or reprints are mentioned. The worst thing is quoting Bourbaki, where much more reprints and translations exist and are in use than can be documented in either MR or Zbl. --[[User:Ulf Rehmann|Ulf Rehmann]] 22:41, 6 March 2012 (CET)
::: And about "Yu.V. [Yu.V. Prokhorov] Prohorov" I'd prefer "Yu.V. Prokhorov [Prohorov]" or just "Yu.V. Prokhorov". --[[User:Boris Tsirelson|Boris Tsirelson]] 21:07, 6 March 2012 (CET)
:::: There are different name transcription conventions for various languages (depending on both the 'from' and the 'to' language). The purpose here is just to  uniquely identify the publication. It could be that the author is addressed  that way in the document (book). --[[User:Ulf Rehmann|Ulf Rehmann]] 22:41, 6 March 2012 (CET)

==Collaboration==

Thanks for correcting my silly mistakes in the [[Absolutely convergent series]] page! It was a first test to
see how things function here :-). I work in partial differential equations and a lot of my research is in [[Geometric measure theory]]. I am wondering whether you would like to join forces in reviewing some of the pages in measure theory. [[User:Camillo.delellis|Camillo]] 11:32, 21 July 2012 (CEST)

: Sure. Measure theory was for now the topic of [[User:Boris Tsirelson#My contributions|my contributions here]]. Not geometric one, though.
: By the way, we could mention on the "Absolutely convergent series" page that these series may be also thought of as a special case of Lebesgue integration, — for the case of a ''counting'' measure (consisting of atoms of mass 1 each). --[[User:Boris Tsirelson|Boris Tsirelson]] 13:07, 21 July 2012 (CEST)
:: Good suggestions. Let me know if you want me to do it or you will.
::: Well, let me try. --[[User:Boris Tsirelson|Boris Tsirelson]] 19:31, 21 July 2012 (CEST)
::: I did; please look. --[[User:Boris Tsirelson|Boris Tsirelson]] 20:49, 21 July 2012 (CEST)
:: Today I modified [[Convergence of measures]] and [[Radon measure]] and created [[Riesz representation theorem]]. They are rather small entries, so I did not feel the urge of structuring them as nicely as you did with the pages you contributed to. I can however easily switch them to a more structured style as the one you are using, if you think it improves them substantially.
::: As far as I know, Ulf does not want to impose any uniform style on all authors. --[[User:Boris Tsirelson|Boris Tsirelson]] 19:31, 21 July 2012 (CEST)
:::: I can only concur with such a decision. But for now we two seem to be the only ones making changes to the measure theoretic entries and it takes a little effort to make them more uniform. Since you're a much better mathematician than I am and you have much more wiki experience than I do, I leave it to your judgement. Ubi maior, minor cessat. [[User:Camillo.delellis|Camillo]] 19:48, 21 July 2012 (CEST)
::::: We all are just volunteers here. --[[User:Boris Tsirelson|Boris Tsirelson]] 20:53, 21 July 2012 (CEST)
:: I plan to work 3-4 hours per week on the Encyclopedia (I must set un upper limit: this stuff is addictive and hence dangerous for people like me :-)).  [[User:Camillo.delellis|Camillo]] 17:41, 21 July 2012 (CEST)

Hello Boris. I have written the page [[Atom]]: for the part on measure algebra I just refer the reader to [[Measure algebra]], but maybe you prefer to add something more. Also, I have redirected the pages [[Non-atomic measure]] and [[Atomic distribution]] to [[Atom]] and created a page [[Jordan decomposition (of a measure)]]. But these are just proposals: I am not sure such solution is the optimal one... [[User:Camillo.delellis|Camillo]] ([[User talk:Camillo.delellis|talk]]) 12:51, 17 September 2012 (CEST)

Hello, Boris. I see you have made a note to yourself that "Cullinane diamond theorem" needs attention. I agree. In particular, I did not know how to make the images display well when I first posted the article (and still don't know). --[[User:M759|M759]] ([[User talk:M759|talk]]) 23:28, 8 June 2013 (CEST)

Thanks for your reaction/correction! I am new at EOM, I just discovered yesterday that it is also a Wiki! I have seen that some help is needed about TeX conversion. I may do some, but this seems a bit delicate: it seems hard not to make a few mistakes when converting. I have to get informed first. [[User:Bdmy|Bdmy]] ([[User talk:Bdmy|talk]]) 14:13, 22 May 2013 (CEST)
:Nice. You could also look at [[Talk:EoM:This project#Our major contributions]] (if you did not yet). --[[User:Boris Tsirelson|Boris Tsirelson]] ([[User talk:Boris Tsirelson|talk]]) 14:41, 22 May 2013 (CEST)

== Usage Statistics ==
Hi Boris, it seems our usage is getting pretty strong recently, do you have any clues for that? --[[User:Ulf Rehmann|Ulf Rehmann]] ([[User talk:Ulf Rehmann|talk]]) 18:42, 7 March 2017 (CET)

:Wow... Mysterious. No clue. Could it be that out server did not count them correctly from Sep 2015 till Oct 2016 (roughly)? Some problematic version of Mediawiki in that period? Anyway, I am glad to see the old good 50 points a month again. [[User:Boris Tsirelson|Boris Tsirelson]] ([[User talk:Boris Tsirelson|talk]]) 21:31, 7 March 2017 (CET)

:::This table looks good. But my data are taken from [[Special:PopularPages]]. Could it be that this page did not work properly?

== My apology ==

Dear Professor Boris Tsirelson, you are a honorable mathematician.

I am so sorry for my bad behavior with you although I don't hope that you forgive me however you was good with me and you were accompanying and supporting me!

Yours Sincerely, Alireza Badali 22:13, 26 December 2017 (CET)

:Have you done anything to offend me? As far as I remember, no. [[User:Boris Tsirelson|Boris Tsirelson]] ([[User talk:Boris Tsirelson|talk]]) 19:58, 27 December 2017 (CET)
::I don't know you but I know you have a great heart! Alireza Badali 18:35, 29 December 2017 (CET)
---------------------
---------------------
I'm not a mathematician but I know math very well, I don't feel any distance between math and me so that while being student I could predict the next contents and then I saw the same or similar issues (of course not that I am a astrologer only I can infer the next from previous issues.) till now I have not solved any open problem but my questions in university often stayed unanswered (although never I understood some lessons like numerical analysis or probably and statistics or differential equations or etcetera and I don't like too.) but reason of lack of success for me was algorithms indeed I couldn't understand or detect community relations and about $20$ years I was busy for finding algorithms for community relations because I didn't have sensible relations with people but when I came here and saw you somehow that old feeling at math in me woke up of course by your attention and following up. Alireza Badali 19:17, 29 December 2017 (CET)

But now I feel I should continue math and my notes ends with homotopy! and I will write a good theory about homotopy for taking apply to the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/University_of_Cambridge University of Cambridge]. Alireza Badali 19:32, 29 December 2017 (CET)

:Wow, homotopy! No more prime numbers... Nowadays there is a burst of homotopy-related activity with goals far beyond topology; I am far not an expert in that; anyway, here it is: [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homotopy_type_theory HOTT]. [[User:Boris Tsirelson|Boris Tsirelson]] ([[User talk:Boris Tsirelson|talk]]) 22:40, 29 December 2017 (CET)
::Thank you and I mean is homotopy for Goldbach and Polignac and tuple and at last those conjectures for formula of prime numbers and formula for logic and all of math, let me describe homotopy with an example consider you are looking the world behind a buttle or a twisty glass so you have another physics with other rules but if exists a special glass that you can write rules matching your desire. Alireza Badali 23:23, 29 December 2017 (CET)
:::"Behind twisty glass" should be a homeomorphism (or even diffeomorphism), not a homotopy. And by "buttle" you probably mean "bottle". But I do not see any relation to  number theory. [[User:Boris Tsirelson|Boris Tsirelson]] ([[User talk:Boris Tsirelson|talk]]) 12:55, 30 December 2017 (CET)
