Please forgive my cluelessness. Huh? Is this your doctoral thesis? Something new?

Also ... in the abstract, you keep referring to "we" even though you are the only credited author. Huh?

What is a "Math Subject Class: 47A57; 46E22"??? I was getting our my ascii chart to decode that, then I realized that it wasn't hexadecimal.

This paper is the main result from my thesis, slightly distilled.
The we is the mathematical "we," as in the hope that the reader will follow along instead of falling asleep. It's pretty much a standard replacement of "I" in math papers - I think it's supposed to represent the communal and ego-free aspects of the math community. More or less.
And the subject class is the AMS math subject classification.

When you get rich, be sure to post pics of the hot women sucking your toes and bathing you in perfumed water, Cleopatra style.

Step 2: Write a screenplay version of your work. Shoot the movie. Box office profits, merchandise, action figures, and DVD sales will follow.
