### Examples of topologies compatible with a given dual pair

Let $\langle X, Y \rangle$ be a pair of vector spaces put in duality by a non-degenerate bilinear form $\langle \cdot, \cdot \rangle: X \times Y \to \mathbb{R}$. A topology $\tau$ on $X$ is called ...

### Minimize distance between centroids of subsets of points

In a n-dimensional space, I want to divide a set of m points into v (non-empty) subsets. I want to minimize the sum of the pairwise Euclidean distances between the centroids of the resulting subsets. ...

### Question regarding Grid Graph [on hold]

Let $T_{n^{2}}$ denote the grid $T_{n^{2}}=\{(j,k): 1\leq j \leq n,1 \leq k \leq n\}$. Given a grid graph $G=(V,E)$ with vertices $V \subseteq T_{n^{2}}$ and ...

### Solve quadratic with matrices? [on hold]

The question, pure curiosity, is whether you can solve a quadratic with the use of matrices? And if yes, does that method also work for higher polynomials? Say for example I have a quadratic such ...

### curvature function of lenght [on hold]

I am doing research on a new method of representation of curves. The curves are expressed in the form k=f(s) where "k" is the curvature (or k=1/R where R is the radius of the osculating circle), "s" ...

### Simple bound for generalized geometric series

Let $b \in (0,1)$, $m\in \mathbb{N}$ and $a>0$. I want to bound $$\sum_{k=m+1}^\infty b^{k^a} \leq c \; b^{m^a},$$ where $c>0$ is independent from $m$. Is there a simple way of proving this ...

### Hamiltonian potentials of holomorphic vector fields on modifications of Kahler manifolds

let $(M,\omega)$ be a compact Kähler manifold. Let $\mathfrak{g}=H^{0}(M,T_{M})$ be the Lie algebra of holomorphic vector fields on $M$.We can decompose $\mathfrak{g}$ as ...

### perfect Lie algebra with a nonabelian solvable radical

Suppose you want to construct a perfect Lie algebra with a nonabelian solvable radical $\mathfrak{r}$, say with a commutator series of length 2. What are the conditions that guarantee the Lie algebra ...

### Number of monomials of deg D where each variables has low degree

Let $D,n,d$ be three positive integers. I am looking for the number of monomials of degree $D$ in $n$ variables where each variable appears with exponent at most $d$. As a result of an application ...

### Uniqueness of scalar curvature

I'm reading Gromov's notes http://www.ihes.fr/~gromov/topics/SpacesandQuestions.pdf and at page 7 they say that there is a unique second order differential operator $S$ from the space of Riemannian ...

### Complementation in tensor products

This question, however looks innocent, looks non-trivial to me. Suppose that $X$ and $Y$ are Banach spaces and let $\alpha$ be any reasonable cross-norm on $X\otimes Y$. Reasonable means that ...

### Is there a formula that can predict the primes in the sequence of ratios of consecutive superior highly composite numbers? : $2, 3, 2, 5, 2, 3, 7,…$

This is the sequence of prime numbers which are the elementary building blocks for the superior highly composite numbers: $2, 3, 2, 5, 2, 3, 7, 2, 11, 13, 2, 3, 5, 17, 19, 2, 23, ...$ The $n^{th}$ ...
Let $E$ and $E'$ be two general elliptic curves. We consider the $2$-dimensional torus $A:=\frac{E\times E'}{(u\times u')\left((\mathbb{Z}/2\mathbb{Z})^2\right)}$, where ...
