Talk:Good regulator

What, exactly, is the theorem?[edit]

It would be nice if this page could state the 'good regulator theorem'. It's very hard to understand the statement in the original paper, due to strange use of standard mathematical notation, and due to the fact that the theorem is not stated as a mathematician would: these hypotheses (stated in full) imply this conclusion (also stated in full). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.11.156.244 (talk) 21:00, 16 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hi John, At the moment, your own blog post sheds some light: the good regulator theorem 67.198.37.16 (talk) 00:09, 28 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Per talk page discussion: I would be okay with Baez's blog post as an RS, per the allowance for the personal webspace of field experts. Remsense诉 08:51, 6 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Criticism[edit]

Although highly cited, some concerns have been raised that the formal proof does not actually fully support the statement in the paper title. I would like to add this to the article, as this is a more or less well known problem (discussed by John Baez and others ^[1]^[2]). Can anyone provide better sources that are not blog posts?
