### Reference for (co)limit-preserving functor $X\mapsto R^X$

Fix a commutative ring $R$. There's a contravariant functor from finite sets to finite $R$-algebras sending $X$ to $R^X$. Viewed as a covariant functor $\text{set}^{op}\to R\text{-alg}$, this functor ...

### Why is it so hard to prove Toeplitz' conjecture?

I'm a layman in mathematics, so please excuse me in advance for anything in this question that may be inappropriate :D. Well: Four years ago, I was reading (and working to solve the puzzles on) ...

### Computing Hochschild Cohomology

Let A be my noncommutative ring. I have computed a $A^e$ projective resolution and taken $Hom_{A^e}(.,A)$ so I am ready to compute kernels and images to find the hochschild cohomology groups. ...

### About a close strucure on profunctors

Let $Prof$ the bicategory with profunctors (on small categories), arrows are like $D: \mathscr{A} \dashrightarrow \mathscr{B}$ and this mean that $D: \mathscr{A}^{op} \times \mathscr{B}\to Set$. ...

### Particular case of Beal's Conjecture

Is it known that there exist no coprime positive integers $A$, $B$ and $C$ such that $A^3+B^4=C^3$? This is a particular case of Beal's Conjecture.

### Symmetries of non-Riemannian curvature tensor

The curvature tensor, $R_{ab}{}^c{}_d$, can be obtained from a connection which not necessarily is a metric connection. By construction it is antisymmetric in the first two indices, since roughly ...

### Understanding the definition of an F-connected simplicial complex

I'm reading the classic paper "Harmonic maps into singular spaces and p-adic superrigidity for lattices in groups of rank one" by Gromov-Schoen. In Section 6, they define the notion of F-connectedness ...

### When does composing polynomials reduce the degree?

Let $\mathbb{F}$ be the field of size 2. Say I have polynomials $p_1,\ldots,p_m : \mathbb{F}^n \to \mathbb{F}$ with high degree $\approx n$, and another polynomial $s : \mathbb{F}^m \to \mathbb{F}$ ...

### Lower bounding the probability that $\gcd(t,N)≤B$, for a random $t$ and fixed (large) $N$

$\newcommand{\Prb}[1]{\mathcal{P}_{#1}}$ I have the following number theory problem, related to Odlyzko's improvement on Shor’s factoring algorithm (see this cstheory.sx question for details). Let ...
