It turns out there is a way to minimally dilate a generator of a Cuntz-Krieger algebera. That's fantastic!

I, too, prefer my Cuntz-Krieger minimally dilated

Eh, this don't have nothin' on The Sun, Our Shiny Friend.

Is this like when Calvin wrote a book report on Dick and Jane that he had apparently run through an Infitite Pretention Engine (aka my company's "HR" department)?

Actually, I've been told that the thesis itself is competent enough. The story behind it is that the author worked with a fairly prominent astronomy professor here who, in addition to being an internationally-prominent astronomer, is also a Pat-level dick. The student got pretty fed up (dull surprise) and, as revenge, changed the title to "The Sun, Our Shiny Friend" between the prof's final approval and submitting the thesis to the library. Much like the case of scurvy here, it's a story I would have expected to be an urban legend were the evidence of it not obvious. Maybe I'll check it out this summer.

How could one live with the name "Cuntz?"

How could one live with the name "Cuntz?"

Preferably in a non-English speaking country.

Without access to the Internet.

Or telephones.

Plus it wouldn't hurt to look like Bolo Yeung (Bloodsport, Enter the Dragon).

Ironic that his IMDB profile has no picture, though.

For those of you not knowing, Bolo

What if this mathematician Cuntz wrote a paper with the Chinaman mathematician Wang?

The Cuntz-Wang hypothesis would rock the mathematical world.

EDIT: There is a Belgian Mathematician Jacques Tits.

CUNTZ-TITS!!!

It's motherfuck*ng Chong Li!

I actually knew a girl in college who had the last name Kuntz.  Pronounced "Koontz."  She got married shortly after college and took her husband's name.  Big surprise, there.

Our mathemeticians could also hang out with Cleveland Indians pitching coach Dick Pole.

You could have just said S.P.H.N.T.A.S.T.F.G. and we would have known what you meant.

I actually really like that; it sounds sort of like a variant on "fantastic": sphantastfg!  Or maybe not so much.
