### Divergence of general random series and a special case

Is there any sufficient condition in terms of moments under which $$\sum_{n=1}^{\infty} X_n$$ diverges a.s.?Here $X_n$ are not independent I am given that $\sum_n E[X_n]$ diverges. Actually, I am ...

### Order-Perserving Bijection $f:A\to A^*$?

Let $A$ be a well-quasi-ordered infnite set. Does there exist an order-preserving bijection $f:A\to A^*$, where $A^*$ is the free monoid over $A$ under the subword ordering? Would this subword ...

### Mapping an arrow from the direct limit of a diagram to the family of arrows from the diagram

Consider the direct limit of an indexed family $\{a_n\}_{n\in \omega}$: $\require{AMScd}$ \begin{CD} a_0 @>>> \ldots @>>> a_n @>>> a_{n+1} @>>> ...

### Can the ribbon category of f.d. reps of $\mathcal{U}_q(\mathfrak{sl}(2))$ be modified so the twist is trivial on the vector representation?

Consider the ribbon category of finite-dimensional representations of $\mathcal{U}_q(\mathfrak{sl}(2))$, with twist $\theta$. If $V$ is the vector representation, then $\theta_V$ is multiplication by ...

### Ramanujan graphs and stable real polynomials

I have a problem with the lemma 6.5 and the theorems 5.1, 6.6 in the paper of Adam Marcus, Daniel Spielman and Nikhil Srivastava. http://arxiv.org/pdf/1304.4132.pdf I do not understand how they use ...

### Can a semigroup be defined on a Banach algebra? [on hold]

I simply need to know that how a semigroup of operators (say $\{T(t)\}_{t\geq 0}$) is defined on any Banach algebra (say $X$)? For $(f,g\in X)$ now the so called product is also there i.e. $f.g\in X$. ...

### Why do we say a level 1 Menger Sponge has 5 holes? [on hold]

I've heard that a level 1 Menger Sponge has 5 holes, but what is the justification for this? I can understand starting with a hole down the center, and making 4 more to meet it from the sides, but ...

### Eigenvectors of a perturbed reducible stochastic matrix

Let $Q$ be a $n\times n$ reducible stochastic matrix. Let $J$ be such that $[J]_{ij}={1 \over n}$. Now for a small positive constant $\alpha\in [0,1]$, consider the matrix ...

### In the proof of the existence of weak solutions to the NSE

In the proof of the existence of weak solutions to the NSE (Navier-Stokes Equations by Constantin and Foias, Chapter 8), the following argument is made: Let $u_m$ converges weakly to $u$ in ...

### Processes with the same finite dimensional distributions as the solutions to SDEs

Consider a sequence of stochastic processes $\{\tilde{x}^n\}$, $\tilde{x}^n = \tilde{x}^n_t(\omega)$, and Brownian motions $\{\tilde{w}^n\}$. Suppose that for each $\tilde{x}^n$ solves the stochastic ...

### Does the sum $\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}\frac{1}{p_n(p_{n+1}-p_n)}$ converge?

Prove, if possible in an elementary way, that $\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}\frac{1}{p_n(p_{n+1}-p_n)}$ converges/diverges, where $p_n$ denotes the $n^{\textrm{th}}$ prime.

### Methods for searching for prime generating polynomials

I am currently using a non-systematic, pseudo-random method for finding prime-generating polynomials, based on the Bateman-Horn method for finding likely candidates, and then narrowing down. I have ...

### Does anyone know if there is a generalization of symplectic Kodaira dimension beyond 4-manifolds?

I'm aware that in algebraic geometry, one has the Kodaira-Iitaka dimension, which generalizes the Kodaira dimension, but does anyone know if a correspondent generalization in the symplectic category ...

### Is preimage of closure equal to closure of preimage under continuous topological maps? [on hold]

Let $f:X \rightarrow Y$ be a continuous map of topological spaces and $B \subseteq Y$ Is it true that $f^{-1}(\overline{B})=\overline{f^{-1}(B)}$?

### The Weyl group of E8 versus $O_8^+(2)$

Right now Wikipedia says: The Weyl group of $\mathrm{E}_8$ is of order 696729600, and can be described as $\mathrm{O}^+_8(2)$. The second part feels wrong to me. $\mathrm{O}^+_8(2)$ is the ...

### Completeness of Localizations of Completions of Commutative Rings

Let $R$ be an integral domain. Let $x,y\in R\setminus\{0\}$ be distinct. Let $\hat R$ be the $x$-adic completion of $R$ (the ring of all sequences $(r_n+Rx^n)_{n\ge0}$ where for $n\ge0$, $r_n\in R$ ...

### How to calculate the derivative of logarithm of a matrix? [migrated]

Given a square matrix $M$, we know the exponential of $M$ is $$\exp(M)=\sum_{n=0}^\infty{\frac{M^n}{n!}}$$ and the logarithm is $$\log(M)=-\sum_{k=1}^\infty\frac{(1-M)^k}{k}$$ The derivative of ...
Let $G$ be a semisimple algebraic group. (I'm already interested in the case $G=SL_2$.) Let $\mathcal C$ be a semisimple rigid monoidal abelian category endowed with pair of exact tensor functors ...
