“I do mathematics because once you prove a theorem, it stands. Forever.” —Neil Bellinson, as quoted in Brian Greene’s latest book

A connection on a vector bundle is often described as a way to differentiate sections. But it’s really only a first-order approximation to differentiation, since the partial derivatives may not commute. *Flat* connections, on the other hand, are the true differentiations.

If we say "smooth manifold", shouldn’t we say "holomorphic manifold" instead of "complex manifold"? 🤔

If you look at a paper and are unsure if it’s math or physics, look at the order of the references. Alphabetical = math, order-of-appearance-in-the-paper = physics. Result 100% guaranteed. (Why are physicists doing it that way?)

LaTeX perfectionism: When writing ":=", type instead "\coloneqq" with the mathtools package to ensure that the colon is aligned with the equal sign.

A "Remark" in a paper may sound like auxiliary content that could be skipped, but in fact, it often contains a key insight that helps understand parts of the paper. Do you have a nice example?
