Number theory, lounge strategy, exit uncertainty

Alun Cennyth Stokes

I bend dessins d'enfants into shape, make hard arithmetic behave in public, and invite you into a velvet-rope room that has already forgotten which door you used.

An uncanny jazz lounge with a red couch, impossible angles, and mathematical diagrams on the walls.

The proposition, already moving

Classy enough for the boardroom, arranged badly enough to make the carpet suspicious.

My work lives where precision gets theatrical: arithmetic geometry, dessins d'enfants, Belyi maps, and the stubborn little structures that refuse to become obvious until someone with excellent taste makes them sing.

The operating mode is simple: disciplined technical thinking, absurd pattern appetite, and a willingness to make the formal machinery throw confetti when the proof finally lands.

01

Mathematical Intelligence

Abstract structure, clean reasoning, and the kind of model-building that turns fog into leverage.

02

Erratic Genius Weather

Productive disorder, fast synthesis, and a room tone that keeps asking to see your credentials.

03

Commercial Taste

Enough polish to brief executives, enough voltage to make the brief rearrange the furniture.

Directory, unreliable

Choose a door. The door has already chosen a different door.

A degree 10 dessin d'enfant whose linked data determines its Belyi map and field of definition.

Featured troublemaker

Degree 10 dessin, currently behaving under supervision.

Click through for the data behind the Belyi map and the number field. Keep your glass away from the branch points.

A red couch that might drop a guest into a particularly nasty Diophantine equation.

The furniture emporium

The couch holds puzzles. Sit with intent.

A lounge, a laboratory, a graveyard for rude dessins, and a suspiciously comfortable place to make algebra expensive.
