Mar 6, 2020 at 7:36 comment added user142929 I think that this post @LSpice is potentially useful or interesting for many mathematicians, in particular for those who start to research in mathematics.

Mar 5, 2020 at 22:05 comment added LSpice Aside from literally having the word "mathematics" in it, how is this about research-level mathematics? It seems that the same question could be asked almost literatim about pretty much any discipline.

Feb 26, 2020 at 2:30 comment added Kimball @JonBannon I agree, it's very subjective and dependent on the surrounding mathematical developments, but I think one can be a slightly more specific: (1) To what extent does it address a problem/methods that others are interested in? (2) What potential does it have to inspire future research?

Feb 25, 2020 at 16:11 comment added Jon Bannon I think this works similarly to how it works in other disciplines. "Interesting" roughly means "useful for what active communities of mathematicians are working on", and is thus not a static or timeless thing. This is a necessity of the economy of ideas. It leads to some obvious political problems, but otherwise imagine the difficulty of identifying novelty in a reasonable time...
