### asymptotic behavior of minimum dilatations on punctured surfaces

Let $l_{g,n}$ be the logarithm of minimum dilatation for pseudo-Anosov homeomorphisms on surface of genus $g$ with $n$ punctures. Let $n$ be fixed and $g$ varies. Is the asymptotic behavior of ...

### reference for list of left-regular representations of real associative algebras

Suppose $\mathcal{A}$ is a unital associative algebra over $\mathbb{R}$. If we identify $\mathcal{A} = \mathbb{R}^n$ then the $\mathcal{A}$ multiplication corresponds to particular linear maps on ...

It's known that from every operad arises a cartesian monad whose algebras are the algebras for the operad. Leinster proved that there are different operads from which arise the same monad, in this way ...

### Conditioned sum of n Poissons versus unconditioned Poissons

Let $\theta >1$ and take independent random variables $Z_k \sim \text{Poisson}(\theta/k)$ for $1 \leq k \leq n$ and let $Z_k^*$ have marginals like the $Z_k$ conditioned on $\sum_1^n k Z_k = n$: ...

### a solution of nonlinear wave equation

I am looking for a solution for the following wave equation: $u_{xx}+u_{yy}=F(x,y)u_{tt}$ where $F(x,y)=\sqrt{E(x,y)/P(x,y)}$ and $E(x,y)$, $P(x,y)$ are linear functions. Is there any analytic ...

### Applications of the Weak and Weak$^*$ topologies to PDEs?

Chapter $3$ of Functional Analysis, Sobolev Spaces and Partial Differential Equations by Haim Brezis constructs and explains the Weak and Weak$^*$ topologies over a Banach Space $E$. The most ...

### Delauney triangulation in high (>20) dimensions

Hi all, I know that its very hard to find the Delauney triangulation of high dimensional spaces, especially if there are several thousand points that need to be triangulated. So I was wondering . . ...

### Matrix representation for $F_4$

Has anyone ever bothered to write down the 26-dimensional fundamental representation of $F_4$? I wouldn't mind looking at it. Is it in $\mathfrak{so}(26)$? I'm familiar with the construction of the ...

### What if Current Foundations of Mathematics are Inconsistent? [closed]

The title of the question is also the title of a talk by Vladimir Voevodsky, available here. Had this kind of opinion been expressed before? EDIT. Thanks to all answerers, commentators, voters, ...

### Fundamental Units in Totally Real Cubic Fields

How much is known about the fundamental units in totally real cubic fields? For example, Daniel Shanks has a family of totally real cubic fields for which the fundamental units are known; those with ...

### A generalization of the triangle counting problem for simple weighted graphs

One nice identity is that $$\operatorname{tr}(A^3)/6$$ counts the number of triangles of a graph with adjacency matrix $A$. It also implies that triangle counting in a graph can be performed in ...

### What is a section?

This question comes out of the answers to Ho Chung Siu's question about vector bundles. Based on my reading, it seems that the definition of the term "section" went through several phases of ...

### Separable and algebraic closures?

I have no intuition for field theory, so here goes. I know what the algebraic and separable closures of a field are, but I have no feeling of how different (or same!) they could be. So, what are the ...

### derivative of Riemann zeta function

One can of course give a power series for the derivative of RiemannZeta. But is there a "closed form", e.g. expressible in the field of functions generated by Zeta and Gamma and some constants?
