| May 9, 2020 at 21:05 | comment | added | Alexandre Eremenko | @Qfwfq: this "cool" feature causes great inconveniences when you write a complicated text involving curves $F(x,y)=0$ and Riemann surfaces, and curves $\gamma(t)$ on these surfaces. | |
| May 9, 2020 at 17:24 | comment | added | Qfwfq | @Alexandre Eremenko: just noticed that I posted an empty comment by mistake - that's weird. I just wanted to say: some - me included, to an extent - would find cool, rather than disturbing, that a Riemenn surface is called a complex curve :) | |
| May 9, 2020 at 12:15 | comment | added | Hollis Williams | OK, my mistake. But I guess there is still a distinction of sorts, one can have a hyperbolic group and elliptic and parabolic subgroups. | |
| May 9, 2020 at 9:20 | comment | added | i9Fn | @HollisWilliams Is elliptic subgroup not considered standard usage? | |

| May 8, 2020 at 22:07 | comment | added | Alexandre Eremenko | @Francois Brnault: It is much more disturbing from my point of view that algebraic CURVE is a Riemann SURFACE:-) | |
| May 8, 2020 at 20:22 | comment | added | Hollis Williams | Also one can have a 'hyperbolic' or a 'parabolic' group, whereas elliptic group would have no standard meaning. | |
| May 8, 2020 at 15:06 | comment | added | François Brunault | Indeed it's quite disturbing that an elliptic curve is a parabolic Riemann surface... | |
