### Inn characteristic in Aut [migrated]

If $G$ is a centerless group then is $\mathrm{Inn}(G)$ necessarily characteristic in $\mathrm{Aut}(G)$? The condition of being centerless is necessary as $D_8$ provides a counterexample otherwise.

### SHPS and SPHS inequality using monounary algebra

Let $A_n = \{(1,\ldots,n) , f \}$ where $f(i) = (i+1)$ if $i \neq n$ otherwise $f(n) = 1$. This describes a mono unary algebra. The proof for $HPS \neq SPHS$ I know uses metabelian groups and was ...

### Why Cech cohomology does not compute sheaf cohomology on an open annulus

Let $A=\{z\in\mathbf{C}:1/2<|z|<1\}$ be an open annulus. Let us cover $A$ by 3 open sets: $U_0,U_1$ and $U_2$ which we assume to be all homeomorphic to a 2 dimensional open disc. Moreover, we ...
