[tex]~M \not= NC[/tex] and that's about it... in fact, 'officially' the M stands for Matrix because we are only looking at finite dimensional representations. unofficially, sometimes Id like the M to stand for My, most of the time though M stands for Minority... Anyway, it seemed important at the time to make the distinction but now that classes have started there are far more things that frustrate me, so i dont care about terminology at the moment. Zelah and Javier,

Hi Mr Lieven
