Slow month

Well, it's the end of the year and I must admit that I worked not nearly hard enough in the days running up to this one. I had my share of the sniffles, but that barely excuses two weeks without measurable progress.

Working on transfering Kulkarni's theory to my graphs. I suspect that it's really not that difficult, but my focus is little, owing in some parts to my renewed interest in Anime, spurred by Axis Powers Hetalia, which is remarkable.

2009 was difficult for most people I know and I feel this is more of a cosmic event than I would like to admit, but apart from the economic situation this was a really tough year, emotionally, spiritually and physically.

In any case, I wish everyone a happy new year, may it be more comfortable than the last one.

Part II at inspection, part III started

I "finished" part II, the one where I show the duality between my two graphs. Unfortunately there is little to be gained from that fact, as the structure of these graphs is dictated more by algebra than by graph theory. Still, it might be interesting to see that it's possible.

Fearing that I will have to omit part II in the final thesis, I have combined the theory on $\Gamma^n$ and the commutator subgroup into a more general theory which tries to emulate Kulkarni's results. I gave an exposé of this part III to my prof along with part II and will work out the details far into the beginning of next year.
