    Placing $n \cdot m$ coins on an $n \times n$ board generalizing the $n$-queens p...

    It is a well known fact that, with the exception of $n = 2$ and $n = 3$, it is possible to place $n$ queens on an $n \times n$ chessboard that cannot attack each other.
    The fact that the queens cannot attack each other boils down to the fact that there are no more than $1$ queens on any $0^{\circ}$ horizontal line, no more than $1$ queens on any $90^{\circ}$ vertical line, no more than $1$ queens on any $45^{\circ}...

    Let $A \in \mathbb{C}^{n\times n}$ be a complex matrix. We let $a_{i,j}$ be the $\left(i,j\right)$-th entry of $A$ for all $i, j \in \left[n\right]$ (where $\left[n\right]$ denotes $\left\{1,2,\ldots,n\right\}$). For each $i \in \left[n\right]$, we define...

    Hypersheaves vs $\infty$-topos

    I'm trying to understand the following two 'homotopy coherent' versions of sheaves.
    $\infty$-topoi: In my understanding, this is supposed to capture $\infty$-sheaves on an $(\infty, 1)$ site. $\infty$-sheaves are a subcategory of the $\infty$-category of (sSet-valued) presheaves on a quasicategory, $\mathrm{Psh}(\mathcal{C}^{op}, sSet...
