### Open subset of the moduli space of stable sheaves on a noetherian scheme

This is my question: Given a projective noetherian scheme $X$, the structural sheaf $\mathcal{O}_X$ is a coherent sheaf, so every locally free sheaf is coherent. This means that the family of stable ...

### invertible unbounded linear maps defined on a Hilbert space

It is well-known that, assuming the axxiom of choice, there are unbounded linear maps defined not only on a dense subset but on all of Hilbert space. Is it possible that such a map is invertible?

### Convergence of empirical random variable

Let $X$ be a RV on the real line, of probability measure $P_X$, and let $X_n$ for $n=1,...,N$ be an iid sample from $P_X$. The Glivenko-Cantelli theorem says that the empirical measure, $P_N$, ...
