### Signs and value of higher order terms in the Taylor expansion of a strongly convex function

Say that I have a function $f: S \rightarrow \mathbb{R}^+$ such that: $S \subset \mathbb{R}^n$ is a closed convex set such as $S=[-10,10]^n$ $f$ is continuous and infinitely differentiable at all ...

### Chow groups of rational varieties

Let $X$ be a smooth projective rational variety over a field $k$. Let $CH^i(X)$ denote the Chow group of codimension $i$ algebraic cycles on $X$ modulo rational equivalence. What can one say about ...

### Methods for RCPSP

I have an Resource Constrained Project Scheduling Problem (RCPSP) with and additional strict precedence graph $H$, where $(j, j') \in H$ means $j'$ should stay closely after $j$. Can you advise any ...

### When can a class in $H^1(M;\mathbb{Z})$ be represented by a fiber bundle over $S^1$

For a topological space M, It is known from homotopy theory that the elements of the first cohomology $H^1(M;\mathbb{Z})$ are in 1-1 correspondence with homotopy classes of maps $[M,S^1]$ In my case ...

### The use of Haar measure in the Blichfeldt-Minkowski Lemma

I'm trying to understand a proof of the following result Theorem: Let $K$ be a number field, and $|| \cdot ||$ the idelic norm (product of the normalized absolute values at each place). There ...

### Inverse Fourier transform of $\frac{1}{\sqrt{\xi_1} + \xi_2}$

Consider the inverse Fourier transform of $\frac{1}{\sqrt{\xi_1} + \xi_2}$. My question is, how can we conclude about the decay properties, support and smoothness of the inverse Fourier transform? I ...

### Vector valued Sobolev spaces

My question is in reference to this question previously asked here. As asked there, consider a function $f \in H^s_x(L^2_y) \cap L^2_x(H^s_y)$. In the notation of Lions and Magenes (Chapter 4, Vol 2), ...

### Is $K^{ur} K^{\pi} = L$?

Let $L/K$ be a finite extension of $p$-adic fields, $\pi$ a uniformizer of $K$, $\theta = (-, L/K)$ the local Artin map $K^{\ast} \rightarrow Gal(L/K)$, $E$ be maximal unramified extension of $K$ ...

### The special embedding $\mathfrak{so}(7)\subset\mathfrak{so}(8)$

It is commonly known that we have a chain of embeddings $$SU(4)\subset Spin(7)\subset SO(8)$$ (there is more than one possible $Spin(7)$, just take one). Which is the explicit analog for the Lie ...

### Trying to relate the fundamental groupoid to vector bundles

Fix a topological space $X$. Now consider a functor from the fundamental groupoid of $X$ to the category $Vect$. In other words, we assign a vector space to each point of $X$, we allow ourselves to ...

### Convergence of sequence of polynomials defined by boundary conditions

I'm sorry if my question sounds trivial, but analysis is not my field. Consider the interval $[a,b]\subset \mathbb{R}$. On $[a,b]$, for every $n\in\mathbb{N}$, $n\ge 3$, I define the polynomials ...
Let $A$ be a strictly affinoid algebra. Let $X^{Ber}$ bet its Berkovich spectrum and $X^{Tate} = \operatorname{Sp} A$ its affinoid variety in the sense of rigid analytic geometry. Let \$\mathfrak{m} ...
