### E-infinity structure on singular cochains

Is there a transparent explanation of why the singular cochain complex of a topological space X is an $E_\infty$ algebra. There are combinatorial proofs using, say, the surjection operad, but is there ...

### A question on an argument in Woronowicz’s paper on the compact quantum group ${\text{SU}_{q}}(2)$

Let $q \in [0,1)$. The compact quantum group ${\text{SU}_{q}}(2)$ is defined to be the universal unital $C^{*}$-algebra that is generated by two elements $\alpha$ and $\beta$ satisfying the ...

### Calculate All Integral Points Within a Triangle [on hold]

Say you have a triangle with vertices of A(-1,-1), B(1,0), C(0,1). The only integer within that triangle is (0,0) or one point. I want an algorithm that can calculate the number of points within the ...

### Can we prove the uniqueness of the local Artin map by using mostly global class field theory?

Let $l/k$ be a finite abelian extension of $p$-adic fields. There is a well defined local Artin map $k^{\ast} \rightarrow Gal(l/k)$ with kernel $N_{l/k}(l^{\ast})$. Let's suppose that we have only ...

### The canonical bundle of an infinitesimal deformation

Let $X_0$ be a smooth projective variety over the complex numbers and let $X$ be an infinitesimal deformation of $X_0$ over the ring of dual numbers. If the canonical bundle of $X_0$ is ample (resp. ...

### What is the motivation and purpose of the Floretion group?

When searching through the Oeis, I came across something called a floretion. Based on the context, it seems to be some sort of algebraic structure. I googled it and found nothing that explained their ...

### criterion for a differential of the third kind to be a logarithmic derivative of a function

Let $X$ be a compact Riemann surface of genus $g\geq 1$. If $f$ is a meromorphic function on $X$ then, the meromorphic differential $\omega=\frac{df}{f}$ is a differential of the third kind with ...

### Is Every Holomorphic Near an Entire?

Let $K\subset \mathbb C$ be a closed subset of the complex plane, not necessarily bounded. Let $U$ be the interior of $K$. Let $f:K\to \mathbb C$ be a continuous bounded function, whose restriction ...

### Hyperbolic knot complement groups and relative dimension

Let $G$ be a the fundamental group of a hyperbolic knot complement. Then $G$ is hyperbolic relative to a subgroup $P\cong \mathbb Z \oplus \mathbb Z$. The knot complement has a $2$-dimensional spine ...

### preserving saturated ideals

A reliable source made the following claim: Suppose CH there is an $\omega_2$-saturated ideal on $\omega_1$. Then this is preserved by $\mathrm{Add}(\omega_1,\omega_2)$. Question 1: How do you ...

### Geometric Interpretation of Trace

This afternoon I was speaking with some graduate students in the department and we came to the following quandry; Is there a geometric interpretation of the trace of a matrix? This question ...

### Why aren't representations of monoids studied so much?

It seems to me like every book on representation theory leaps into groups right away, even though the underlying ideas, such as representations, convolution algebras, etc. don't really make explicit ...

### Applications of the Chinese remainder theorem

As the title suggests I am interested in CRT applications. Wikipedia article on CRT lists some of the well known applications (e.g. used in the RSA algorithm, used to construct an elegant Gödel ...

### Is the analysis as taught in universities in fact the analysis of definable numbers?

Ten years ago when I studied in the university I had no idea about definable numbers, but I came to this concept myself. My thoughts were as follows: All numbers are divided into two classes: those ...

### Why do Groups and Abelian Groups feel so different?

Groups are naturally "the symmetries of an object". To me, the group axioms are just a way of codifying what the symmetries of an object can be so we can study it abstractly. However, this heuristic ...
