Design of Azure Web Service/ API / Mobile App [on hold]

I have an ASP.NET CORE MVC WebApp with Identity framework. Now that we are also planning to extend our product such that we can provide mobile apps with xamerin, I decided to make an API so that we don't have to code the backend twice. We currently host our App in the Azure Cloud.



1) For the backend: I would like to use ASP.NET CORE WebApi but I figured that there is no such Identity template nor a native Azure Web API integration. So would it be better to use ASP.NET instead?



2) Since I authenticated the ASP.NET Core MVC Web App via identity framework, I would like to also use that in the backend. So that you log in on the backend and receive a token, once you logged in successfully. I have to code to login the user at the backend and return a token. How exactly can I authenticate the .NET ASP CORE Frontend? The user will query the login page -> AuthConntroller.Login-> Login method starts a call to Login Backend API -> Backend API queries backend-database -> if successful return true-> backend generates a token->sends it back to frontend-> frontend uses Owin so that I can use the [Authorize] Attribute in the controller classes so that I can authenticate the user?



3) Mobile and Desktop requirements are pretty different (or may become?). Since that could become a problem later on, I thought about creating a basic API for the most common database queries and another two that inherit from the first and extend it to mobile and desktop needs. So at some point, I would have two API's. Is that a good approach? Any thoughts or resources that you can recommend about that?



3) I'm using MySQL currently. What are the downside of MS SQL? Should I swich to MS SQL when using the identity framework since the entire structure of Identity Core is designed around MS?



Anything else that I have to consider when I'm using such an API design?



Thank you so much for any hints/tricks/links/recommendations on my dilemma.



Sincerely,
Paul

          Can a sorcerer learn a 5th-level spell early by creating spell slots using the Font of Magic feature?

          Image
          28 6 $begingroup$ Per the Font of Magic feature, sorcerer can use Flexible Casting to create 5th-level spell slots at level 7, even though they are not typically available until level 9. You can transform unexpended sorcery points into one spell slot as a bonus action on your turn. The Creating Spell Slots table shows the cost of creating a spell slot of [5th level is 7] If such a sorcerer levels up while still having this 5th-level spell slot, can they choose a 5th-level spell as the spell they gain upon levelling up? The Spellcasting feature states: Additionally, when you gain a level in this class, you can choose one of the sorcerer spells you know and replace it with another spell from the sorcerer spell list, which also must be of a level for which you have spell slots.

          Does disintegrating a polymorphed enemy still kill it after the 2018 errata?

          Image
          up vote 13 down vote favorite 1 After the 2018 errata, the disintegrate spell description now reads: A creature targeted by this spell must make a Dexterity saving throw. On a failed save, the target takes 10d6 + 40 force damage. The target is disintegrated if this damage leaves it with 0 hit points. If you were to polymorph an enemy into a rat and then disintegrate it, would the enemy be disintegrated or would it just return to its original form? I know that for Druids, it’s not an instant kill anymore, but is this the case for polymorph as well? dnd-5e spells polymorph errata share | improve this question edited 18 hours ago

          A Topological Invariant for $pi_3(U(n))$

          Image
          3 3 $begingroup$ Recently, I saw a construction of topological invariant for $pi_3(U(n))$ with $ngeq 2$ : $$ N=frac{1}{24pi^2}int_{S^3} d^3x epsilon^{ijk} Tr[(U^{-1}partial_{x_i}U)(U^{-1}partial_{x_j}U)(U^{-1}partial_{x_k}U)] , $$ where $Uin U(n)$ depends on $boldsymbol{x}=(x_1,x_2,x_3)in S^3$ , $epsilon^{ijk}$ is the Levi-Civita symbol, $i,j,k=1,2,3$ , and the duplicated indexes are summed over. It is claimed that $N$ is an integer, but why? Update 02/02/2019 I think I got an argument for $n=2$ . In this case, $U=e^{i varphi} q$ with $qin SU(2)$ . Due to the trace and the Levi-Civita symbol in $N$ , $varphi$ does not contribute to $N$ . As $Tr[q^{dagger}partial_i q]=0$ and $(q^{dagger}partial_i q)^{dagger}=-q^{dagger}partial_i q$ , $q^{dagger}partial_i q$ in geneeral has the form $q^{dagger}partia
