I’ve been experimenting with digital art as preparation for my ongoing webcomic, I thought I’d share this one. 
Masseygirl: Seeing for the first time
Here begins the adventures of Masseygirl into the unknown.
Please enjoy the first few panels of my webcomic on what it feels like to run into a concept for the first time.
Honda, Taira, On the Formal Structure of the Jacobian Variety of the Fermat Curve over a $p$-adic Integer Ring
On the Formal Structure of the Jacobian Variety of the Fermat Curve over a $p$-adic Integer Ring, Symposia Mathematica Volume XI (Volume 11).
This paper of Honda was very hard for me to track down. It was not previously available digitally. I found it in a retired library volume in a thrift store in England. Hopefully, this digital copy will make it easier for others to enjoy Honda’s incredible insight and understanding of how to create power series in one variable with high amounts of arithmetic information, and in general of higher height formal group laws.

Here are the texed notes for my 1 hour oberwolfach talk (the key thing I left out is Cartier duality). I included Manin’s original approach, and remark on some details I find left out of most sources.

Hidden Structure
Beauty wilts
and love will flucture
what remains
is hidden structure
blushing primes
sly chiding knots
intertwine
betwixt our thoughts
creation
lives to create
chipping from
the ob’lisk slate
talk amoungst
our little selves
speculating
filling shelves
search we will
and see we’ll not
blindness is
our earthly lot
but the voice
of the void is vast
notice it
through the nets we cast
