### Generic Ultrapower as a Class

If $X$ is a set and $I$ is an ideal on $X$. Let $\mathbb{P}$ be the forcing poset consisting of $I^+$ subsets of $X$ with the subset partial ordering. Let $G$ be $\mathbb{P}$-generic filter over $M$, ...

### Finite Volume 1D Anderson Tight Binding Model

My question is about bounds on the number of eigenvalues in a microscopic interval for the random Schrodinger operator on $\mathbb{Z}_n$ for $n \in \mathbb{N}$. For my question, these are the ...

### Limit of distance between two random points in a unit-radius $n$-sphere

This is a companion contrast to the earlier analogous question for unit $n$-cubes, where the answer (provided by several respondents) is $\infty$ . What is the limit, as $n \to \infty$, of the ...

### is the tensor product of projective modules again projective?

Let $R$ be a commutative ring and let $A_1$ and $A_2$ be (not necessarily commutative) $R$-algebras. Under which conditions on $A_1$ and $A_2$ is the following true: For every projective $A_1$-module ...

### Is this a valid Hadamard product for $\frac{2\,\xi(s)-1}{s\,(s-1)}$?

This question builds on this MSE question: Take the well known equation: \displaystyle \pi^\frac{-s}{2}\,\Gamma\left(\frac{s}{2}\right)\, \zeta(s) =\int_1^{\infty} \left({x}^{\frac{s}{2}-1} + ...

### Probability generating function zero implies random variable is infinite

Let $V$ be a random variable supported on the nonnegative integers (including $\infty$) and $f(x) = \mathbf E x^V$ be the probability generating function. In our model $V$ is the number of visits to ...

### The class of bounded uniformly continuous functions in viscosity solution theory for Hamilton-Jacobi equations

Dumb question: Usually in viscosity solution theory for Hamilton Jacobi equations (with convex, coercive Hamiltonians), solutions are said to be in the class $BUC(\mathbb{R}^n)$ or ...

### How to minimize $-\sum p_b \ln{p_b}$?

Consider multisets of the form $A = \{a_1,\dots,a_n\}$ of integers. Let $q = P(a_i = a_j)$ when $i$ and $j$ are chosen independently and uniformly from $\{1,\dots, n\}$. Let $B$ be the set of ...

### On Flajolet's analytic urn model: a unified approach or just an interesting trick?

Recently I'm reading Flajolet's work on analytic urn models. In around 2006 He introduced a new analytical method that can give exact solutions to many classical urn models in a unified way. For a ...

### Is the group of rational points of an anisotropic absolutely quasi-simple algebraic group over a non-archimedean local field known to be perfect?

Suppose that $G$ is an algebraic group defined over a non-archimedean local field $k$ which is absolutely quasi-simple and anisotropic over $k$. Is it known whether the group $G(k)$ is necessarily ...

### Is the diameter of a centrally symmetric convex body realized by a pair of antipodal points?

Let $S \subset \mathbb{R}^n$ be the boundary of a centrally symmetric convex body and provide $S$ with the geodesic metric given by its embedding in Euclidean space (i.e., the distance between two ...
