### When did people know that all real polynomials of degree greater than 2 are reducible?

Admittedly, this may not be a research level question, but I am deeply curious about this. Let $f(x) \in \mathbb{R}[x]$, and write $d = \deg f$. It is well known that if $\deg f > 2$, then $f$ is ...

### Tor-amplitude [0, 1] in the setting of intersection theory on a regular surface?

The question is coming from Definition 1.5 in Deligne's Expose X in SGA 7 on intersection theory. Let $X$ be a connected regular scheme of dimension $2$ and $Y \subset X$ a reduced divisor that ...

### Does the ring generated by the odd power sum symmetric functions have a name?

Let $\Lambda$ be the ring of symmetric functions and recall the power sum symmetric function $p_i = \sum x_1^i + x_2^i + \dots$ generate this ring. Let $\tilde\Lambda$ be the ring generated by the odd ...

### Integral formula for $\int_{0}^{\infty}e^{-3\pi x^{2}}((\sinh \pi x)/(\sinh 3\pi x))\,dx$ by Ramanujan

The following is a re-post from MSE because I did not get any answer even after offering a bounty. Towards the end of G. N. Watson's (one of the joint authors of famous book "A Course of Modern ...

### Hochschild Cohomology of the Quantum Torus

I would like some advice on how to compute directly, or by a higher powered method the Hochschild Cohomology groups of the quantum torus using the stated complex I have found. I think there are ...

### examples of completely positive order zero maps to demonstrate a theorem

I'm interested explicit examples which can be used to demonstate the theorem: Theorem: Let $A$ and $B$ $C^*-$algebras and $\phi:A\to B$ be a completely postive map of order zero. Set ...

### Is this kind of scheme integral?

Let $X\rightarrow Spec(R)$ an irreducible projective scheme over a dvr. Suppose the generic fiber $X_{\eta}$ is smooth (over the field $Frac(R)$) and irreducible. Is it true that $X$ is integral (i.e. ...

### reference on Dirichlet theorem on primes in arithmetic progression

I appreciate if you could help me to find a reference (and a proof). Combining Dirichlet theorem on primes in arithmetic progression with Chebotarev densitiy theorem, we know that given two positive ...

### 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) ...

### 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 ...

### 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 ...

### 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 ...

### roots in a root system which have nonzero coefficients with respect to each simple root

If we consider crystallographic root systems, then for each $k$ such that $n \leq k \leq d-1$ where $d$ is the Coxeter number, it seems to be the case that there is exactly one root of height $k$ with ...

### “Most Similar Vector Problem” on an Integer Lattice?

I am currently working on problem that I think could be expressed as an integer lattice problem. Given $u \in \mathbb{R}^n$ and a bounded integer lattice $L = \mathbb{Z}^n \cap [-M,M]^n$ I would like ...

### Terminology for polygons

As you may know term "polygon" might mean few different things and its meaning has to guessed from context. By some reason I have to use few of these meaning in one place. So I converge to the ...

### Bounded input Bounded output stability for heat equation

This is a cross-post from Computational Science. I am interested in proving or obtaining a counterexample to the following conjecture. Let $\Omega\subset\mathbb{R}^d$ be a bounded open domain. Let ...

### Skolemization for induction hypothesis

As part of my investigation for a logical system that is limited to $\Pi_2$ sentences I try to prove that FOL + PA is a conservative extension over that system. Some four and half years ago (I only ...

### 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 ...

### Product of a Schubert polynomial and a double Schubert polynomial

Let $S_u(x)$ be a Schubert polynomial and let $S_v(x;y)$ be a double Schubert polynomial. Then their product can be expressed in terms of the double Schubert polynomials as ...

### Indecomposable commutative rings [on hold]

Let $R$ be an indecomposable commutative ring. Can we say that $R=\bigoplus_{i\in I}R_i$ or $R=\prod_{i\in I}R_i$ where $R_i$ are commutative ring and $I$ is an infinite set?

### SO$(4)$ (& SO$(n)$) characterization?

I believe it is the case that any finite subgroup of SO$(3)$ (the $3 \times 3$ orthogonal matrices of determinant $1$) is either a cyclic group $C_n$, or a dihedral group $D_n$, or one of the groups ...

### Do cotangent bundles have “bounded geometry”?

I have often heard the phrase "a manifold $M$ has bounded geometry" thrown around without ever seeing a precise definition of what this means. Apparent examples are compact manifolds and ...

### A question on $J(f)$ and $J(f')$

I was confused by the following question for a long time: Does there exists a transcendental entire function $f$ such that $J(f)\cap J(f')=\emptyset$ ? where $J(f)$, ($J(f')$) is the Julia set of ...
I recently encountered the following optimization problem: $\max \|AX\|_F^2$ subject to: $X\succeq0$ and $Xb_i\leq c_i$ for a collection of $T$ conditions: $i=1,\ldots,T$. Matrices $A$ and $X$ are ...
