### Division methods for divergent continued fractions

I hadn't even noticed before entering the subject above the parellel with the title of an earlier question posted here titled Summation methods for divergent series. And it's just mutatis mutandis as ...

### Frequency of a representation of SO(3)

When generalizing the basic tenets of Fourier Theory to the symmetric group $S_n$, we can define a notion of the frequency of a basis function (i.e. an irreducible representation of $S_n$). In ...

### Blowing-up the Grassmannian at a point

Does anyone know what the blow-up of the Grassmannian at a point looks like? Consider $G=Gr(r,n)$ and $V\in G$. I want to understand more explicitly what $Bl_V(G)$ should mean. Of course for affine ...

### Filmed lectures by Hassler Whitney

Are there any filmed lectures by outstanding American mathematician Hassler Whitney, besides the two Einstein Chair lectures below? Old lectures, from the 1940s onwards, would be particularly ...

### On the coherence theorem for bicategories

The coherence theorem for bicategories, as usually stated, reads Any bicategory $B$ is biequivalent to a (strict) 2-category. It is possible to give an explicit construction of the ...

### Uncountably categorical theories which are interpretable in a strongly minimal

Definition: Let $\lambda$ be a cardinal. An $\mathcal{L}$-theory $T$ is called $\lambda$-categorical whenever every two models of $T$ of cardinality $\lambda$ are isomorphic. Definition: An ...

### Embedding rational simple algebras in the real quaternions [duplicate]

Is there any way to embed a rational division algebra of dimension higher than 4 over its center in the real quaternions ? I think not, but I cannot prove it.

### On a reciprocal of Ostrowski theorem on Newton polytopes and factorization

$\newcommand\KK{\mathbb{K}}$Let $\KK$ be any field and $f\in\KK[x_1,\dotsc,x_n]$ be a polynomial. Its support $S_f$ is the set $\{(e_1,\dotsc, e_n) : x_1^{e_1}\dotsb x_n^{e_n}$ has a nonzero ...

### Completion of a single totally ordered down-set

This is a follow-up question to Complete sets of incompatible totally ordered down-set in a partially ordered set. Let $(P,\leq)$ be a partially ordered set such that for every $p\in P$ the set ...

### Galois correspondence subgroups/subsystems

In this paper (1998) by M. Izumi, R. Longo, S. Popa, there is the following result (page 49) on compact groups: By applying this result to finite groups, we get a Galois correspondence ...

### How to define the determinant of a morphism between graded Lie algebras?

I have the following question. Suppose $g_1$ and $g_2$ are two finite dimensional, nilpotent, stratified Lie algebras and $A:g_1\to g_2$ is a morphism of the graded Lie algebra. I wonder whether there ...

### Combinatorics: Identical objects and distinct groups [on hold]

I'm confused between the following 2 formulae: 1) Number of ways to put n identical objects into r distinct boxes, such that the ordering is NOT important is: (n+ r - 1) C r 2) Number of ways to ...

### Spectral radius of a column stochastic matrix perturbed by a rank-1 matrix

$P\in \mathbb{R}^{n\times n}$ is an irreducible column stochastic matrix. $P$ is also diagonally dominant. $w \in \mathbb{R}^{n}$ is a strictly positive vector satisfying $w^T \mathbf{1} = 1$ where ...

### A combinatorial question on ranks

Denote $$\mathscr{C}[r]=\{Q\in\Bbb Z_{\geq 0,\leq 1}^{n\times n}:\mathsf{rk}(Q)= r\}.$$ $$\mathscr{D}[A,t]=\{B\in\mathscr{C}[\mathsf{rk}(A)]:\mathsf{dim}(col(A)\cap col(B))\geq t\}.$$ Given ...

### the choosing of an independent set in a specific $k$-partite graph

Let $k\geq2$ be an integer, a graph $G=(V,E)$ is called $k$-partite if $V$ admits a partition into $k$ classes such that every edge of $G$ has its ends in different classes: vertices in the same class ...

### contractible configuration spaces

Let $F(M,k)=\{(x_1,\cdots,x_k)\mid x_1\cdots,x_k\in M,x_i\neq x_j, \text{ for } i\neq j \}$. It is known that $F(\mathbb{R}^\infty,k)$ is contractible for each $k$. My question: is $F(S^\infty,k)$ ...

### Skein theory: How axiomatizing a 2-box space?

Let $(A,+,\times, *)$ with an adjoint operation compatible with $+$, $\times$ and $*$, such that $(A,+,\times)$ and $(A,+,*)$ are finite dimensional ${\rm C}^{*}$-algebras. What are the axioms on ...
Let $F$ be a combinatorial species. The exponential generating series of $F$ is defined to be $$\sum_{n \geq 0} \frac{ \lvert F_n \lvert x^n}{n!}$$ It was observed by Baez and Dolan in their paper ...
