Arithmetic geometry
There are only two kinds of people, those who read A. A. Milne and those who read J. S. Milne, that’s all.

I owe this maxima to the ethernal Oscar Wilde and to James Milne’s autoreferencing joke. You really shouldn’t credit it as mine, but you are welcome to do so.
Actually I hope to be in the second category, sooner or later. I read J. S. Milne, but I cannot consider myself a mathematician, not even mentioning being an arithmetic geometrician, not yet. When I’ll put my name into the mathematical genealogy, I could use that name to refer to myself.
I obviously don’t despise A. A. Milne and I feed the hope to have one day a peluche of Eeyore, because we share many things. Indeed we are both old, pessimist, cynical donkeys with some presumptions as to our philosophical capabilities.
