the thesis, so far ..

my (incomplete) draft of a thesis is 25-26 pages long, under the standard amsart package in LaTeX. to be fair, i haven't tried reformatting to minimize the number of pages and lines, and i think that my explanations will test the patience of forthcoming readers ..

things truly incomplete:
completing the second half of a section on metric tangent bundles,

things to add:
an introduction,
more background and basic lemmas,

things optional:
a section on currents on metric spaces (and a few idle theorems),
a section on how this conjecture implies that conjecture, and so on;

an appendix on how our formulation compares with that in the literature,
    (our definition is rigorous, but not quite the same)


well, it's going.
