| Aug 14, 2017 at 21:23 | comment | added | j.c. | MO posts that link to arxiv pages leave trackbacks, so if one clicks the "__ blog links" link on an arxiv page, e.g. any of the examples linked here arxiv.org/tb/recent , there is a complete (?) list of MO posts / comments that linked to it. | |
| Aug 13, 2017 at 8:06 | comment | added | Soham Chowdhury | @HarryGindi Tags immediately leaped to my mind, too. It'd be greatly more useful (for search) if the description contained the paper's title and the arXiv abstract: there could be some kind of auto-importer that would fetch and update the description when the tag is created, but that is a bit of a stretch, as you say. | |

| Aug 13, 2017 at 1:46 | comment | added | Harry Gindi | Maybe adding a tag with the arXiv reference code for all the questions related to errata or filling in proofs in a particular book/paper? | |
| Aug 12, 2017 at 20:28 | comment | added | Stefan Kohl Mod | As you say, certainly asking occasional specific mathematical questions about particular papers on MO is no problem. -- But much more useful would be a searchable and editable database of comments and errata on papers, which would be something entirely different from MO. This could be a separate site or an extension of zbMATH / MathSciNet, or individual publishers could host the comments. | |
