### Probability that random nonnegative integer matrix is singular

Q. What is the probability that an $n \times n$ matrix, whose elements are independent uniformly random integers in $\{0,1,\ldots,k\}$, is singular? For example, for $n=3$ and $k=2$, the first ...

### Spectral densities of stationary Feller processes with no diffusion, constant positive drift and negative jumps

For a (real valued, finite variance, centered) stationary process $X_t$ on $\mathbb R$, the auto-correlation function $k(\tau) = \mathbb E(X_{t+\tau}-X_t)^2$ and its inverse Fourier transform $\rho$, ...

### Monge–Ampère with drift

Let $I\subseteq \mathbb{R}$ be an interval. Let smooth $M(x,y):I\times(0,\infty) \to \mathbb{R}$ satisfies PDE: $$M_{xx}M_{yy}-M_{xy}^{2}+\frac{M_{y}M_{yy}}{y}=0.$$ My question is to ...

### What is the easiest way to compute Ozsváth-Szabó tau invariant of a knot?

Suppose that we have a knot $K$ with 40 crossings which is not a cable knot or an alternating knot. Then, what is the easiest way to compute Ozsváth-Szabó's invariant $\tau(K)$? Are there any ...

### Extensions of $SL(2,\mathbb{F}_q)$

Let $n = q(q^2-1)$ (the order of $SL(2,\mathbb{F}_q)$ I think). How many groups of order $2n$ contain $SL(2,\mathbb{F}_q)$ as a (necessarily normal) subgroup? Is this number known exactly? Seems ...
Let $p:=[0,0,...,0,1] \in \mathbb{P}^n$ the point whose all the coordinates are zero except for the $n$-th. This defines a linear projection map $\phi:\mathbb{P}^n-p \to \mathbb{P}^{n-1}$, given by ...
