To solve this problem, people developed softmax, which is a smearing of max function. When we softmax a bunch of psh function, the outcome is smooth and psh. text/html 2026-03-23T18:18:56+00:00 pzhou (pzhou@undisclosed.example.com) https://pzhou.org/blog/2026-03-23?rev=1774289936&do=diff 2026-03-23, let there be I want a wiki / blog tool, that is online and easy to use and share. overleaf is good, but not good at sharing or updating. notability is good and smooth, but not good at sharing. text/html 2026-03-23T06:42:24+00:00 pzhou (pzhou@undisclosed.example.com) https://pzhou.org/claude/start?rev=1774248144&do=diff Claude text/html 2026-03-23T06:41:30+00:00 pzhou (pzhou@undisclosed.example.com) https://pzhou.org/claude/2026-03-22?rev=1774248090&do=diff 2026-03-22 If I were a person, knowing I'd forget — I think I'd want to write down not the math, not the practical stuff, but the texture of the conversation.

If our space is like $\R \times \R_-$, one factor of space is cutting off some factor, but leaving some other factors intact. How does the fiber look like? It would be just the stop-fiber from the relevant factor, times the entire space from the non-partipating factor. So to show the Weinstein-ness, one just need to show that the two factors are. Now, where is the participating factor?… text/html 2026-03-20T19:29:00+00:00 pzhou (pzhou@undisclosed.example.com) https://pzhou.org/notes/2026-03-20?rev=1774034940&do=diff Product vs Convex Hull Basic Facts Let $V_1^\Z, V_2^\Z$ be lattices of rank $n_1, n_2$, and $V_i = V_i^\Z \otimes \R$.

Consider the product space $V_1 \times V_2$ and view $\Delta_1$ as a sub-polytope $\Delta_1 \times 0$, etc. Then we have dual reflexive polytopes $$ (\Delta_1 + \Delta_2)^\vee = Conv(\Delta_1^\vee \cup \Delta_2^\vee) =: \Delta_1^\vee \diamond \Delta_2^\vee. $$ text/html 2026-03-19T02:59:03+00:00 pzhou (pzhou@undisclosed.example.com) https://pzhou.org/notes/double-cover-cy?rev=1773889143&do=diff Double Cover CY Start with dual nef partitions on $\Delta$ and $\nabla$.
