| Jan 10, 2012 at 13:32 | comment | added | Benjamin Steinberg | I did say in 1 one should honestly state what one has not verified in detail. I am not suggesting slides as a way to cheat about priority, but as a way to make a somewhat public record of what you have spoken about at a talk so that someone in the audience cannot claim not to remember you said such and such in a talk. I don't see how slides are any better or worse than published research announcements sketching a proof without details (this has also been done in ArXiv). | |

I have in mind truly independent work on the same problem, not "developing your ideas". I would not at all be happy to see someone pretending to be the first while he has only an idea of the proof and me (imagine) am in the process of writing down the proof accurately. But Igor's right that this depends on the field. | |

All these things depend on where you are in your career. At the beginning you have more chance of somebody developing your ideas faster than you. | |

As for colloquia, work in progress as the main topic off the colloquium is totally silly unless you're talking about something really big. | |
| Jan 9, 2012 at 17:25 | comment | added | Yulia Kuznetsova | 3 - interesting idea... do you think slides can really prove your priority? If you have not posted your proofs, why cannot others have their own proofs "almost ready"? | |
