The Manga Guide to Inter-universal Teichmüller theory can't come soon enough.

Redpill me on Shinichi Mochizuki. Is he legit, or is he a scam?

dear /sci/,

what's the safest way to kill myself in under 20 minutes from the time of this post?

Thanks in advance,
- brainworms anon

ps my bots are well programmed now and will still serenade you with this nightly theme long after my departure, and hopefully that can preserve my consciousness for a few more seasons before /sci/ becomes worse than EK-era /sci/

but thanks, you all
you've been lovely these past years
enjoy my bots taking my place

Hey /sci/, has there been any kind of investigation into sums of the form [math]\sum_{k=0}^{\infty}D^k(f(x))[/math]

Is it OK to ask for a reference here?

I'm working with a family of elliptic curves over finite fields and I have a conjecture about the number of points it has. I've tried searching the literature for some hints on how to prove this, and found that the curve is what's called a 'supersingular elliptic curve'.

Now, I'm a math brainlet and the definition of that term is beyond my current abilities, but there are some related theorems that seem to imply that the number of points on such a curve over Z_p is p + 1.

Unfortunately, the device which I read this on has broken down and I haven't written down the name of the book. There's a related question on MO, but they don't provide any sources either: https://mathoverflow.net/q/1269

Does anybody know about some resources, lecture notes, textbooks, where I could find more on this in a comprehensible manner?
