X-ray crystallography by Ciro Santilli 35 Updated +Created
One of its main applications is to determine the 3D structure of proteins.
Sometimes you are not able to crystallize the proteins however, and the method cannot be used.
Crystallizing is not simple because:
  • you need a considerable amount of the protein
  • sometimes it only crystallizes if you add some extra small chemical that stabilizes it
Cryogenic electron microscopy can sometimes determine the structures of proteins that failed crystallization.

Dojo by Ciro Santilli 35 Updated +Created
"Dojo" is the japanese version of the word that unfortunately came to dominate in the West, the original is of course Chinese Dao4 chang3 (道場) which means:
  • dao4 (道): Taoism, the Enlightned Path to something
  • chang3 (場): suffix indicating "a place where you do something"

Millennium Prize Problems by Ciro Santilli 35 Updated +Created
Ciro Santilli would like to fully understand the statements and motivations of each the problems!
Easy to understand the motivation:
Hard to understand the motivation!
  • Riemann hypothesis: a bunch of results on prime numbers, and therefore possible applications to cryptography
    Of course, everything of interest has already been proved conditionally on it, and the likely "true" result will in itself not have any immediate applications.
    As is often the case, the only usefulness would be possible new ideas from the proof technique, and people being more willing to prove stuff based on it without the risk of the hypothesis being false.
  • Yang-Mills existence and mass gap: this one has to do with finding/proving the existence of a more decent formalization of quantum field theory that does not resort to tricks like perturbation theory and effective field theory with a random cutoff value
    This is important because the best theory of light and electrons (and therefore chemistry and material science) that we have today, quantum electrodynamics, is a quantum field theory.

This dude looks like a God. Ciro Santilli does not understand his stuff, but just based on the names of his theories, e.g. "Yoga of anabelian algebraic geometry", and on his eccentric lifestyle, it is obvious that he was in fact a God.

Linear function by Ciro Santilli 35 Updated +Created
The term is not very clear, as it could either mean:
  • a real number function whose graph is a line, i.e.:
    or for higher dimensions, a hyperplane:
  • a linear map. Note that the above linear functions are not linear maps unless (known as the homogeneous case), because e.g.:
    but
    For this reason, it is better never to refer to linear maps as linear functions.
