### Any two bivariate algebraically dependent polynomials are always in the same ring generated by some bivariate polynomial?

If $f(x,y)$ and $g(x,y)$ are two algebraically dependent polynomials over some field $k$, is it true that there exists a bivariate polynomial $p(x,y)$ such that both $f(x,y)$ and $g(x,y)$ are in the ...

### An extension of group schemes admitting Neron models

Let $R$ be a discrete valuation ring, $K$ its field of fractions, and $$0 \rightarrow G_K' \rightarrow G_K \rightarrow G_K'' \rightarrow 0$$ a short exact sequence of smooth $K$-group schemes of ...

### On transforming pair of bivariate polynomials to pair of univariate polynomials by applying polynomial map

We know that a polynomial map $f(x,y), g(x,y)$ is polynomial automorphism if there exists polynomials $p(x,y)$ and $q(x,y)$ such that $f(p,q)$=x and $g(p,q)=y$. Jacobian conjecture tries to ...

### Is the space of real conics with a singular point an orientable manifold?

Consider the space of non zero real homogeneous degree $2$ polynomials in three variables upto scaling. This space is $\mathbb{R} \mathbb{P}^5$. The zero set of such a polynomial gives a real curve ...

### A question in Sasakian geometry

Let $(S,\eta, \xi)$ be a Sasakian manifold with killing vector field $\xi$, then we have the following exact sequence $$0\to <\xi>\to TS\to \frac{TS}{<\xi>}\to 0$$. Can ...

### ULU Decomposition of a matrix

Let $g \in GL_n(\mathbb{F}_q)$. Is it true that we can always write $g = u_1lu_2$, where $u_1$ and $u_2$ are upper-triangular and $l$ is lower-triangular? Note that I'm not requiring that the matrices ...

### Roots in the solution

It is known that for a one-dimensional self-adjoint operator with periodic boundary conditions, the number of roots is directly related to the eigenstate this eigenfunction belongs to. Now it is ...

### Hypergeometric function 2F1 convexity proof:

Suppose $F$ is the Gaussian hypergeometric function 2F1, $x\in \mathbb{N}$, $t>x \in \mathbb{N}$, $\mu \in (0,1)$. Is the function: $$f(\mu)=\mu^{x+1} F(x,-t+x,2+x,\mu),$$ convex in $\mu$? I've ...

### Classifying set theories whose standard models sharing the same ordinals are equal

Let's say that a (recursively axiomatizable) set theory $T$ extending ZF is "ordinal-categorical" if, whenever $M$ and $N$ are standard models of $T$ sharing the same ordinals, one has $M = N$. For ...

The higher cohomology of coherent sheaves vanish on Stein spaces (both complex and p-adic). In the case when the space ($X$) is a curve and we're working in the complex world, this shows that all ...
Consider the SDE: $$dv_t = k(\theta - v_t) dt + \xi \sqrt{v_t} dW^{v}_{t}$$ It describes a process $v_t$ which is a strictly positive if the drift is stronger enough, i.e. ...
