Berkeley math professor Edward Frenkel collaborated with a French filmmaker to create an erotic short film called Rites d’Amour et de Maths; in it, a doomed mathematician discovers the formula for love and tattoos it on his lover’s belly. It’s an homage to Japanese writer Yukio Mishima’s movie Yukoku and his subsequent seppuku suicide.
