Co-author university affiliation on a paper while on leave as a student
Ask the Dean (or maybe the department head) at your own university what they think. If they suggest that you don't (which I wouldn't expect), then ask the same question of the new university.

Co-author university affiliation on a paper while on leave as a student
Usually, you should only include the affiliate(s) that are involved. "Involved" means you
Use university library resources
Use university copy-editing or advising resources
Use physical/...

Advisor-student collaboration (or lack thereof) and paper authorship in mathematics: how does it work?
Just as another anecdotal data-point: (in the U.S., in math, at an R1) I view my job as PhD thesis advisor to be that of coach/mentor/educator/protector.
The "protector" part of my ...

Advisor-student collaboration (or lack thereof) and paper authorship in mathematics: how does it work?
As a preface, which might help explain the phenomena you observe, "grunt work" tends to have low status in mathematics. A solution to a problem that uses a large amount of "grunt work&...

Advisor-student collaboration (or lack thereof) and paper authorship in mathematics: how does it work?
In pure math and some parts of CS there is a parallel, but the "do some calculations" part is, perhaps, more challenging than you describe. If an advisor suggests a problem (not a ...

My name was published on abstract but my name was not published on the final manuscript?
If it was the journal that made an error then they can correct it, and you can ask. But that seems very unlikely. It is more likely that the PI that submitted the paper made a change in the text of ...

Assume it's a mistake and ask the editor what happened.
If it's not a mistake ... then, well, cross that bridge when you get there.

Can a coauthor do the presentation at a conference?
Yes, as in other answers/comments, anyone authorized by the authors can present.
Nevertheless, if you (as a beginner) have the opportunity to be the presenter, you should absolutely do it.
With my own ...

Can a coauthor do the presentation at a conference?
I am pretty sure that every conference I've ever been to has had several papers presented by someone other than the first author. I recall some where the presenter wasn't even an author at all. This ...

Can a coauthor do the presentation at a conference?
Yes, of course. This is normal, and often happens.
There is no expectation that a particular author presents the paper at a conference. I suspect, however, that your teacher will also have a view on ...

Authorship: PI has put themself first and others alphabetical. Is this reasonable?
The PI probably tries to take the credit for all the work.
If you haven't done any preregistration that specifies exactly your contributions in the work then it is a lost cause to start any battle.

Authorship: PI has put themself first and others alphabetical. Is this reasonable?
While I don't know the customs in your field, in some it would be reasonable for the PI to be listed first, especially if they were involved in starting and/or leading the study. Or maybe just in ...

Request for Changes to the Author List
This form doesn't seem to apply, as the list of authors is the same. Being corresponding author has no direct connection to how much you have contributed, so you don't normally need to justify the ...

Misunderstanding in the author list. Doing valuable suggestions during group meeting suffices to be considered as a co-author?
I've been out of Academia for a while and so there are definitely other people more-qualified than I to answer your question directly. However, the term "miscommunication" has come up a few ...

Misunderstanding in the author list. Doing valuable suggestions during group meeting suffices to be considered as a co-author?
The scientific papers I have been an author for all had specific criteria that need to be met in order to be an author. Check the journal requirements. If an author doesn't meet the criteria then they ...

Misunderstanding in the author list. Doing valuable suggestions during group meeting suffices to be considered as a co-author?
In my field, an isolated useful comment or suggestion doesn't really warrant authorship (or necessitate an offer to be included further). I would not make any/every person who provided feedback on an ...

Misunderstanding in the author list. Doing valuable suggestions during group meeting suffices to be considered as a co-author?
Well, rightly, there ought to be only two authors on your paper: you and your supervisor, as you did all the work. The three "guest authors" are an academic disgrace. The helpful suggestion ...

Misunderstanding in the author list. Doing valuable suggestions during group meeting suffices to be considered as a co-author?
I don't know your field or it's customs, but in mathematics the interaction you describe could well be reason enough to include the person as a co-author. It is even possible, in math, that a five ...

Not being part of all of the communications it's difficult to say for sure, but it's possible there's a bit of a misunderstanding here.
It may not be that this professor feels that he should be a co-...
