Что-то, по нынешним временам
Jun. 1st, 2016 02:29 amна то, чтобы придумать новую научную работу, у меня уходят, примерно, сутки. Ну, и написать ее, еще неделя.
P.S. Комменты из-под замка в Фейсбуке -- https://www.facebook.com/posic/posts/1352074441474053
What I seem to be having here is a combined effect of 1. career pressure (being a postdoc in my age feels a bit strange, but on the other hand I have some working conditions and time to do research), 2. international integration (interaction with Israeli and, even more importantly, Czech mathematicians), and 3. "climbing down the mountain" (working with less abstract and more elementary problems than I have been used to recently, and bringing to these problems the techniques and vision acquired while thinking about the complicated stuff).
Yes, I have the feeling that, at this point in my life, doing some more elementary stuff related to my main ideas would serve both the interests of the advancement of mathematics and my personal survival better than further developing the complicated things. There is a huge gap between my thinking and that of essentially every other mathematician in the world. Perhaps some ways to bridge this gap could be found. Perhaps somebody will be able to climb back up on my mountains along the ways that I am climbing down from them. There is no point in taking my knowledge to my grave.
