I'm confused, it's meant only for current math PhD candidates? Also, the front page has some numerical stuff about the goldbach conjecture from a chemist...

Re: HN-like math research discussion for Ph.D.s
#92Nice idea, +1 for LaTeX titles! But the registration system should be way more open, you're discriminating against many math PhD's who are no longer in academia. I would have posted my paper there but I guess "@math.ohio-state.edu" isn't elite enough so I'll post it here and probably get more traction than all the papers on OP's entire site combined. https://arxiv.org/pdf/1201.2869.pdf "Infinite graphs in systematic…
Their guidelines [1] state that they need your e-mail because "an algorithm uses it to determine if you are a genuine PhD candidate in math/stat." It seems that the site is meant for PhD students rather than PhD recipients. [1] https://www.hessix.com/guide
PhD recipients are very welcome too. The registration is put on hold for me to check manually. The algo to auto verify works for PhD candidates in several universities (US and abroad, not only .edu)

#93I don’t know how much discussion one hopes to generate by simply posting links to recent arxiv pre-prints. Posters don’t even seem to be giving a reason for posting them. It is very non-sequiter and unengaging. Honestly i would never use this. A better post format: Title: not the title of the paper (which will almost always sound super specific) but something more general abstract: a brief description at a high level…
Sounds great. You can do that with a self post but it seems that arxiv url with auto fetched titled is the path of less resistance so far, not optimal for discussions, agreed. I'll probably change the submission format
Re: HN-like math research discussion for Ph.D.s
#94As I see, that you require a math phd address. Why do you think that only PhD in math might contribute to the discussion? You are just making it impossible for people with non standard background to participate. You are reinforcing opinion widespread in academia that only people from the right background could do any meaningful research.
I dont believe that. Its open for anyone to read, and for math PhDs to quickly register. All other addresses are put on hold for manual check, not rejected. Some people have requested to join in this thread and have received an account without a PhD. Its not meant to be elitist at all, just focused on the quality content (wherever it comes from)
Re: HN-like math research discussion for Ph.D.s
#95I cannot register with my University of Michigan email. It states, "You are not listed as a PhD candidate." What's the algorithm that determines if I'm a Ph.D. candidate?
Matching a database of current PhD candidates among other things. This message just puts the registration on hold temporarily, and you will be able to register once manually verified
Re: HN-like math research discussion for Ph.D.s
#96I'm guessing it's also using Arc? (It's too bad that it is limited only to people in Maths PhD programs.)
PHP, math or stats PhD. You can send an email to hsx at hessix dot com if you want an account

I'm assuming that the value of these papers are self evident from the title if you understand the topic/context of the paper, much like HN with many of the white papers published here.

Could you elaborate on the vision behind the "selection" criteria? Also, it would be best to clearly explain that in the Hessix user guide, in the spirit of communicating clearly with your audience :-)

You should probably make it more clear on that page. If the email address is only required to verify current candidates, why is it required for all registrants?
