### Proof that no differentiable space-filling curve exists

Could someone provide a reference or a sketch of a proof that no differentiable space-filling curve exists? Or piecewise differentiable? Must every continuous space-filling curve be nowhere ...

### When does an algebraic space that is a torsor over a scheme have to be a scheme?

In Group actions on stacks and applications (Section 4 of part A), M.Romagny gives a definition of $G$-torsor over a scheme $S$ in which the total space need not be a scheme, just an algebraic space. ...

### Curvature of a principal bundle and the exterior covariant derivative

I am sorry if this is too elementary; I had posted it on math.stack but no one answered. Let $P\to M$ a principal fibre bundle with fibre $G$, and let $A\in \Omega^{1}(P)\otimes\mathfrak{g}$ be a ...

### Tauberian theorem with better error term

This is a fairly vague question. Suppose we have a sequence of positive numbers $(c_n)_n$ and we want to find an asymptotic formula for $S(x) = \sum_{n \leq X} c_n$. In favorable circumstances, ...

### Is the minimal solution of a Pell equation a positive integral power of the fundamental unit? [migrated]

Let $k=\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{d})$ -- $d$ is a positive square-free integer -- be a real quadratic field, and let $\varepsilon_k$ be its fundamental unit. Let $(x,y)$ be the minimal solution to the Pell ...

### Example of a ring $R$ such that $\dim(R[[X]])<\dim(R[X])$

Dimension refers to the Krull dimension of a commutative ring. In the paper "Prime ideals in power series rings" J. Arnold gives an example of such a ring: Let $k$ be a field and $K=k(t)$ a ...

### Identities for power series like $\sum_n z^{n^3}$

Probably, one of the first power series that every mathematician encounter is the geometric series $$\sum_{n=0}^\infty z^n = \frac1{1-z}, \quad z \in \mathbb{C},\; |z| < 1 .$$ Also, a particular ...

### Are fibers at points of morphism of schemes closed subschemes? [on hold]

Is $X \rightarrow Y$ is a morphism of schemes and $y \in Y$, is the fiber of $y$ a closed subscheme of $X$? Is is true that the fibers of the projection $X \times_S Y \rightarrow Y$ (with $X,Y$ ...

### Conjecture about Prime Numbers [on hold]

Conjecture 1. Being P the product of the multiplication of several different prime numbers, and being Np ˂ P any prime number not being prime factor of P; being NL ˂ │P^(1/2)│ any prime number not ...

### Criteria for Compactness of a Closed in $L^2$ Spaces [on hold]

$(X, \mathcal{B}, \mu)$ is a measure space. Is there any well-known criteria for compactness of a closed set in $L^2(X, \mu)$? If the answer is negative what about $L^2(\mathbb{R}^n,\mu)$(in this ...

### Hausdorff measure of the graph

Is there any example of a real valued function on the real line whose domain has Lebesgue measure zero but the graph (in the plane) has positive one dimensional Hausdorff measure? Of course if such ...

### Are numbers fundamental mathematical entities? [on hold]

This question came to my mind after seeing Vi Hart's video on YouTube about the "number" Wau and the answer I gave there to the question "what is the number Wau?". As far as I know, numbers have ...

### Is there a term for “ranked distance” matrices?

In a n by n "ranked distance matrix" each element has a rank $r_{ij}$ between 1 and n that indicates it is the $r_{ij}$th smallest element in column $i$ of a corresponding Euclidean distance matrix. ...

### Is there a higher, “orientalish” version of geometric realisation?

Geometric realisation of simplicial sets can be roughly thought of like this: In some category $\mathcal{C}$, we choose an object for every abstract $n$-simplex. In topological spaces, we would ...

### Representability of morphism of stacks

A morphism of Artin stacks $f:X\to Y$ over $\mathbb Q$ is representable by algebraic spaces if and only if its geometric fibres are algebraic spaces. I would like to know if one can use this to prove ...

### Generalization of Little Fermat Theorem for a particular $a$ and perfect shuffles

I'm looking for the smallest $n\in \mathbb{N}$ that solves the following equation: $$2^n=1 \mod m$$ For an odd $m$. I know that Little Fermat Theorem and Euler Totient give me a solution but they ...

### Can anyone comment on uniformizing parameters and uniformizing coordinates?

Let $V$ be an algebraic variety ($\dim V = r$) over an algebraically closed field $k$, $U \subseteq V$ an open subset (in Zariski topology), and W a prime divisor of V, that is, the closed subvariety ...
