### Is the stack of varieties with a big line bundle algebraic

In Starr's paper https://www.math.stonybrook.edu/~jstarr/papers/moduli4.pdf it is shown that the fibred category of pairs $(X\to S, L)$, where $S$ is an affine scheme, $X\to S$ is flat proper finitely ...

### A relative property gamma and $L(\mathbb F_2)$

Given any unital non-commutative subalgebra $\mathcal M$ of $L(\mathbb F_2)$ is it true that $\mathcal M' \bigcap L(\mathbb F_2)^\mathcal U = \mathbb C I$ for any free ultrafilter $\mathcal U$?

### 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 ...

### The term $H^1(N,A)^{G/N}$ in the inflation-restriction exact sequence

[a repost from SE due to the lack of response] Given a group $G$, let $A$ be a $G$-module and let $N\trianglelefteq G$. If I understand it correctly, the superscript "G/N" in the third term of the ...

### How to associate a proper parabolic subgroup of a real s.s Lie group $G$ to a non-trivial unipotent element in a non uniform lattice in $G$?

Let $G$ be a real semi-simple Lie group. Let $\Gamma$ be a non-uniform lattice in $G$. Then it is known that $\Gamma$ contains a non-trivial unipotent element. When $\mathbb{R}$-rank of $G$ is 1, it ...

### presentations of subalgebras

Assume that I have a finitely presented algebra $A$ over the complex numbers (by which I mean that $A$ is generated over $\mathbb{C}$ by finitely many elements $x_1,...,x_n$ subject to finitely many ...

### Are most random variables trivially sub-gaussian?

I'm trying to understand sub-gaussian RVs to see if they could be relevant to my work. The common definition of a sub-gaussian RV is the following. X is $\sigma$ sub-gaussian if its laplace transform ...

### Why only Normed Linear Spaces? [on hold]

It is well known that "Norm on a vector space can be used to obtain a metric on that space." I think easily we can generalize the notion of norms to groups and rings. My questions are, Why ...

### Root number of an anticyclotomic twist

Let $\lambda$ be a self-dual Hecke character over a CM field $K$ with root number $-1$. How to show the existence of a finite order anticyclotomic Hecke character $\chi$ over $K$ such that the twist ...

### Any formula for the partial sum of a remainder series?

Let $N \ge 1$ be an integer, and there is a series $\{ N \mod 1, N \mod 2, ... , N \mod i, ... \}$. Obviously when $i \gt N+1$, the series will become $\{N, N, N, ..., \}$. So only take $i \le N$ ...

### Does stationary reflection imply Mahloness?

Suppose $\kappa$ is strongly inaccessible and every stationary subset of $\kappa$ reflects. Must $\kappa$ be Mahlo? Remarks: It is possible for every stationary subset of $\kappa$ to reflect, but ...

### Detecting positive endomaps of the formal reals

A locale is a sort of "formal topological space", which "may not have enough points to separate its open sets". For instance, there is a "locale of all real numbers that are both rational and ...

### What's the relationship between the different versions of the BBD decomposition theorem?

I have a few questions relating to the BBD decomposition theorem. I have come across the following two versions of the decomposition theorem. Version 1. Let $f : X \to Y$ be a proper map of ...

### Genus of a plane curve of the form $\prod_{i=1}^n (a_iX+b_iY+Z) = Z^n$

Does anybody know the genus of the following (projective) plane curve?: $$\prod_{i=1}^n (a_iX+b_iY+Z) = Z^n$$ where the $a_i$'s and the $b_i$'s are complex numbers with $a_j \ne a_i\ne b_i \ne b_j$ ...

### Can we always add sets without collapsing cardinals or adding [very] bounded sets?

Given a model of $\sf ZFC$, and an infinite ordinal $\alpha$. Can we prove that there is always a cardinal $\kappa$, and a forcing $\Bbb P$, such that: $\Bbb P$ does not add sets of rank ...

### Purely inseparable field extensions of degree p

Take a field $k$. If $k'/k$ is a field extension of degree $p$, it is known that there are many possibilities for the isomorphism class of $k'$. See ...
Given two abelian monoidal categories ${\cal C,D}$ (where the monoidal operation is bilinear) and an additive monoidal functor $F:{\cal C} \to {\cal D}$. Will $F$ always admit an adjoint?
