### Compactness of adelic quotients for unipotent groups over global fields

Let $K$ be a global field, $\mathbb{A}_K$ the ring of adeles, and $U$ a unipotent algebraic group over $K$. Why is $U(\mathbb{A}_K)/U(K)$, when endowed with the quotient topology, compact?

### Is this problem on weighted bipartite graph solvable in polynomial time or it is NP-Complete

I encounter this problem recently and I want to know whether it is NP-Complete or solvable in polynomial time: Given a weighted bipartite graph $G = (V, E)$ where $V$ can be partitioned into two sets ...

### Laplacian with singular potential

Let $S$ be a $2$-dimensional sphere. Let $p$ be a point in $S$. Let $L$ be a second order elliptic partial differential operator with smooth coefficients defined over the complement of $p$. Near $p$, ...

### Lipschitz function with somewhere dense image

Let $Q=[-1,1]^2$ denote the unit square and let $f:Q\to Q$ be a Lipschitz function such that for any ball $B(a,r)\subset Q$ with radius $r$, the width of the image $f(B(a,r))$ is at least $cr$ for ...

### Lower Bound Omega Notation [on hold]

I have to prove that some number $S$ is bigger than $\Omega(|V|)$, where |V| is the number of vertices. I read the definition of asimptotic notations, but I am still confused with the examples. Fot ...

### Is there a straightedge and compass construction of incommensurables in the hyperbolic plane?

In other words, given a segment in the hyperbolic plane is there a straightedge and compass construction of a segment incommensurable with it? In the Euclidean plane one can take the diagonal of the ...

### A question on degree 4 binary forms

Suppose that we have a binary form $f(x,y) \in \mathbb{Z}[x,y]$ of degree 4, and that we explicitly have $$\displaystyle f(x,y) = a_0 x^4 + a_1 x^3 y + a_2 x^2 y^2 + a_3 xy^3 + y^4,$$ so that $(0,1)$ ...

### Does $S^4$ have a “symplecto-homeomorphic” structure?

The 4-sphere $S^4$ cannot be a symplectic manifold. In particular, it does not admit an atlas whose transition maps are symplectomorphisms $(\mathbb{R}^4,\omega_0)\to(\mathbb{R}^4,\omega_0)$. A ...

### Learning math from the very beginning with no previous knowledge [on hold]

I didn't do any math like calculus, functions, vectors, etc, not even in high school. I want to build my math knowledge up from the ground up. A friend recommended that I start with Principia ...

### on reductive monoids which are gorenstein

Let $M$ a reductive monoid, i.e. a integral normal affine scheme, which is a monoid whose group of units is a connected reductive group. By Rittatore ...

### Sum or difference of modulus of holomorphic functions [on hold]

Assume that $f$ and $g$ are two holomorphic functions defined in the unit disk. If $$|f|^2-|g|^2\equiv 1$$ or $$|f|^2+|g|^2\equiv 1,$$ then it seems that $f$ and $g$ are constants. How to prove this.

### Does this property of a first-order structure imply categoricity?

Let $\mathfrak{A}$ be a first-order structure over a relational language and let $\kappa$ be an infinite cardinal. Lets say that $\mathfrak{A}$ has the $\kappa$-property if for every structure ...

### Possible ways to create a graph representation from a distance matrix (through approximation)

Forgive me, Im not math professional, but a computer scientist at the beginning of my base research from my thesis, so bare with me if I miss something blatantly obvious. I have a Euclidean distance ...

### Theory of mnemonics [on hold]

Even for the typical most skilled (human) number theorist it is hard to reproduce only the first 10 digits of $\pi$ in moderate speed (without physically reading them off). On the other hand there ...

### Is there any nonnegative bounded function satisfying the following property? [on hold]

Is there a smooth funtion $f(r)$, $r\geq 0$, satisfying the following property: $0\leq f(r) \leq c$, $\int^{\infty}_{r_0}\frac{f(r)}{r}dr<\infty$ for some $r_0>0$, and there exists an sequence ...

### Group structure on an arbitrary completely regular topological space that makes $(x,y)\mapsto xy^{-1}$ continuous at $(1,1)$

Let $(G,\mathcal T)$ be a completely regular topological space. Is there a group structure on $G$ such that the function $$f:G\times G\to G$$ $$f(x,y)=xy^{-1}$$ is continuous at $(1,1)$?

### Why does $\pi_t$ preserve pullbacks in this special case?

Let $X$ be a fibrant pointed cosimplicial space. Following Bousfield-Kan, let $\text{lim}^{\partial \Delta_{n+1}} X = M^{n}X$ be the nth matching object of $X$. Onecan then show that there is a ...

### A “good scale” that is not really a scale

I don't know much about singular cardinal combinatorics, so I apologize in advance if I write something that is wrong or looks funny. First let me recall some basic definitions. Let $\lambda$ be a ...
### Which criteria guarantee an orthogonal circuit in $\mathbb R^3$ to be rigid?
For $n\ge4$, define an orthogonal circuit or O-circuit as a closed circuit of $n$ unit segments in $\mathbb R^3$ such that any two neighboring segments form a right angle. (Physically this could be ...
