Normality of Chaitin’s constant @Francois: I made it a community wiki because the request for a "guiding intuition" is a vague one, and when I've posted such questions in the past, people have complained "This should be a community wiki." But if I'm misunderstanding what community wiki status is for, please enlighten me! |

Sperner’s lemma and Tucker’s lemma @Paul Taylor: See willamette.edu/~knyman/papers/Fan_Sperner.pdf for clear statements of Sperner's lemma and Tucker's lemma. |

Do all subtraction-free identities tropicalize? @quid: I've changed tropical-mathematics to tropical-arithmetic. Thanks for pointing out the existence of the tropical-arithmetic tag. |

Do all subtraction-free identities tropicalize? Colin and Will's answers are both convincing; thanks! One thing more I'd appreciate is a literature reference that I can cite if I publish something that makes use of this transfer principle. Given how straightforward the proof is (at least in hindsight), it's likely that some version of this result appears in some existing book or article. |

Cyclically symmetric functions This reference is extremely well-written, and it covers lots if examples, but the cyclic action on the variables doesn't appear to be one of them (though Theorem 1.17 comes close; it's good to know that for the dihedral action, and all other finite Coxeter group actions, things work out about as nicely as one could hope). |

Using a quadratic kernel instead of a linear kernel in the Laplace transform @Liviu: Thanks, but I am confused. What is $s$? Also, does $L_{loc}^1$ mean locally integrable in the sense of being integrable over every finite interval, or is some sort of uniformity required? |

Galois connections @Jerome: Oh no -- a mistake in the very first paragraph of my article! Ah well; thanks for catching this error. I will fix it once I get LaTeX properly installed on my new Mac and can create pdfs again. |
