I am an avid daily (and nightly) user of wikipedia, and I feel like I will never be able to repay this community for everything it gave to me during the past 19 years or so. Anyways, after years and years of postponing, on 24 February 2018 I decided finally to register and I made my first little modification.

Since then, I have been editing some pages from time to time, mostly about mathematics (differential geometry) and mathematicians, as well as stuff I read/watched/bumped into, both in the English and the Italian wikipedia. Unfortunately, I have never committed too much time in it, but doing so is my constant new year resolution.

Since February 2021 I am more active, doing at least a couple of (non-minor) edits almost every week.

Pages I have created, translated and/or substantially improved

To-do list

[edit]

Here are some pages I would like to substantially improve/update/expand in the (near or far) future, roughly divided by topics. Feel free to contribute!

Exterior differential systems

G-structures

Groupoids/algebroids

  • Morita equivalence (this page is only for rings; create a separate page for Lie groupoids)

Basic differential geometry

Symplectic geometry

Foliations

Other geometric structures

Lie groups and algebra

Mathematical physics

Other mathematics stubs and short/bad articles I would like to improve

Other pages I plan to translate

Other useful links for future work
