### relation between algebraic geometry and complex geometry

As a complex manifold $\mathbb{P}^n$ is locally the euclidean space $\mathbb{C}^n$, as a projective variety it is locally $\mathbb{C}^n$ with the Zariski topology, as a scheme it is locally ...

### Simple question: different definitions of Bousfield localization

I am not an expert on model categories and I am getting lost with two different definitions I have found on Bousfield localizations. I don't see the link between them. First definition: Let ...

### Number theory and physics

I was following some lectures by Edward Frenkel about Langlands correspondence. He was describing some analogies between number theory and theoretical physics (Mirror symmetry). At some point ( my ...

### When is an erratum necessary?

A typo, a spelling error etc., in a published article, is definitely not enough for issuing an erratum. If a mistake destroys a main result, then an erratum is definitely necessary, and the proof ...

### Rational points on the “quintic circle” $x^5 + y^5 = 7$

I suspect that the curve $x^5 + y^5=7$ has no $\mathbb Q$ points, and a brief computer search verifies this hypothesis for denominators up to $10^4$. What techniques can be used to show that there are ...

### How to prove the Hölder continuity of a function $u$ by evaluating $\int_{B_{\rho}(x_0)}\frac{|Du(x)|^{2}}{|x-x_0|^{n-2}} dx$?

I'm looking at a video on thin obstacle problem given by Arshak Petrosyan. In his lecture, he uses the following results: Let $0<\alpha<1$, and $B_1$ be the unit ball centered at origin in ...

### Eigenvalue inequality for regular graphs

I recently proved an inequality relating some of the eigenvalues of a regular graph with each other, and I was wondering if it is already known. I was unable to find it online, and a quick skim ...

### What does it mean for a differential equation “to be integrable”? [duplicate]

What does it mean for a differential equation "to be integrable"? Are "integrable" and "solvable" synonyms? The first thing that comes to my mind is to say: it's integrable if we can find the ...

### Convergence of local stable manifolds

This question is a kind of local version of a previous post (MO224171). Let $\ f_n \$ be a sequence of Morse functions on $\mathbb{R}^d$, converging, in the $C^\infty$-topology, to a limit Morse ...

Consider a graph of $n$ nodes randomly located in $[0,1]^2$. Each node moves following a path randomly chosen from the set of all possible paths. Regard nodes as attackers. A policeman seeks an ...
### Analytic continuation for $L$-functions of elliptic curves
Let $E$ be an elliptic curve over a number field. When $E$ has no CM and is a $\mathbb Q$-curve (i.e. it is $\overline{\mathbb Q}$-isogenous to all of its conjugates), it is nowadays known that $E$ ...
