  I show the latest Mastodon post in my website hosted on GitHub Pages, and it does not require JavaScript on the client side. How do I do that?

  Rotational symmetry of plane lattices as a simple example of algebraic number theory

  For a plane lattice, there is only a finite number of different rotational symmetries that are compatible with the discrete translational symmetry. For example, the 5-fold rotational symmetry is not one of them. Why is that? It turns out that whether an $m$-fold symmetry is compatible with translational symmetry is the same as whether $\varphi(m)\le2$.

  I restructured my blog

  If you have not noticed, the equations on my blog are now rendered server-side. This change makes it possible for those who turn off JavaScript on their browsers to see the equations. I also updated the theme from Minima v2 to Minima v3.
