I'm currently a second year Ph.D. student in mathematics (number theory).

My interpretation of your LW username just changed abruptly.

Non-mathematician here. Just curious... What are you alluding to? (“Adele_L” sounds like a given name plus an initial to me.)

It is in fact my name + initial.

But since I am a number theorist with this name, I know that gjm is thinking adele rings and L-functions.

Yup. (And of course I'd previously assumed, correctly as it turns out, that it was given name + initial.) What a nice coincidence!
