I just saw a #mathematics article, with an epigraph: “Mais elle refusait le nom de Madame Dame” J. Demy, Les Demoiselles de Rochefort. Can someone familiar with this reference explain why it appears in arxiv.org/abs/2608.17992 ?

“Most Australians will never apply for an ARC grant; yet, all of them directly or indirectly benefit from the knowledge generated through curiosity-led research.” Yes!!
Australian Research Council@arc-gov-au.bsky.social · 2w agoOpinion | True value of university research isn’t measured by numbers, says ARC CEO Professor Ute Roessner: www.afr.com/policy/healt... 'The Australia of tomorrow will be shaped by the ideas, people and partnerships we invest in today.
Some substantial changes announced by ARC for next (supposedly final) rounds of some schemes, esp. Discovery Projects👇 🔹CIs can only be on one DP28 app 🔹CIs on successful DP26 or DP27 apps cannot apply 🔹Rejoinder process “has been removed and replaced with more detailed feedback to applicants” ⁉️

What do I do with all the paper reprints I’ve collected over my career?
Drawing all 16,777,216 possible 12 bit RGB colours in one 2D image, each exactly once. Pixels are mapped from the 256³ colour cube, following a three dimensional Hilbert curve, to a two dimensional Hilbert curve filling the square. so nearby colours stay close.
That noise you're hearing is all the cryptographers working on PQC (and particularly lattices, but a breakthrough like that would have likely had far reaching consequences beyond just lattices) collectively breathing out after holding their breath for a week. https://eprint.iacr.org/2026/1693
