I have taken some time to rewrite parts of my thesis that I was unhappy with (mostly due to my bad writing style at the time). My first preprint (from 2022!) has been completely reworked and split into two parts ([part 1], [part 2]). Rewriting everything was obviously a lot of work, especially since I’m less invested in these topics now, but I was pleased to see that I was able to simplify many proofs — though it was daunting to realize how much easier some overcomplicated arguments (which took months for my graduate self to find) could have been!
