A question on resolution of singularities

I am wondering if it could be possible in particular cases to resolve a singularity of dimension $n$ by blowing-up a locus of dimension smaller than $n$. For instance consider a cubic surface ...

Time in Girard's Geometry of Interaction

Jean-Yves Girard writes at the end of his paper "Towards a Geometry of Interaction", page 105, that we have three intuitions about the nature of time: time is logic modulo the order of rules, time ...

Estimates on derivatives of Bessel function

In Duke, Friedlander and Iwaniec's Erratum on "Bounds for automorphic L–functions. II" They have the following estimates for derivatives of Bessel functions: For $k \geq 2$ \begin{align} & ...

Real solutions for systems of monomial equations

I have a $K$ equations of the form $x_1^{a_{i1}} \cdots x_n^{a_{in}}=c_i$ where $a_{ij}$ are non-negative integer constants and $c_i$ are real constants -- i.e. each equation is a monomial in $n$ ...

Separating Differences of Open Sets

Has anyone ever considered something like the following separation axiom? $(*)$ For any pair of open sets $O$ and $N$, there exist disjoint open sets containing $O\setminus N$ and $N\setminus O$. ...

Primality matrices [closed]

This question is some kind of a follow-up to my previous thread untitled About Goldbach's conjecture, the content of which follows: 'let's consider a composite natural number $n$ greater or equal ...

Separating duality for TVS?

What is the modern concept (term) for "separating duality" (dualité séparante in french) in the sense of Bourbaki (TVS Ch II § 6) as explained in the following ? ...

Bounding multiplications of PSD random matrices

Consider the following setup, $(X, \hat{X}, Y, \hat{Y})$ are four $n \times n$ real, symmetric, full-rank, positive-definite matrices with entries between zero and one and operator norm $O(n)$. The ...

What is the current state of the crystalline analogue of the Weil conjectures?

In "F-isocrystals on open varieties results and conjectures" Faltings says: "Finally, we extend the theory of weights and show as much as possible of the crystalline analogue of the Weil ...

Morava $K(n)$'s are not $E_{\infty}$

I am looking for a reference/proof that shows that the Morava $K$-theory spectra, $K(n)$ are not $E_{\infty}$ ring spectra. I suspect that this should be a calculation but I can't quite get it right. ...

Slim Kurepa tree at a singular strong limit cardinal of uncountable cofinality

For a strong limit cardinal $\kappa$ the notion of $\kappa$-Kurepa tree is trivial: the full binary tree is a $\kappa$-Kurepa tree. Accordingly, we consider the following strengthening: A slim ...

Prove that these two definitions of “natural” integration constant coincide when both converge

These are two possible definitions of antiderivative (integral) incorporating a supposedly natural choice of an integration constant (see this question for further details). The first one is based on ...

Any results on rayless simplicial complexes?

We define a closed ray in a topological space $X$ to be its closed subset homeomorphic to the real half-line $[0,\infty)\subseteq \mathbb{R}$. Call a topological space $X$ rayless if it does not ...

Which of the Mochizuki's works are the most closely related to elliptic curves?

I'm very much interest about algebraic geometry and number theory along with cryptography, but I have a special interest about the elliptic curves. I have heard a lot of interesting things about ...

A question about “Zariski dense” arguments

This question is a little basic, but I think it is consistent with the goals of MO. My question is about a certain type of argument in algebraic geometry which exploits the abundance of dense sets ...

Dominated convergence theorem - Finite members not dominated [closed]

I am sorry if it is trivial but somehow I am confused about this one: Can I still use "Dominated Convergence Theorem" if a finite number of members of the sequence are not dominated? Let me be more ...

equation for geodesics of a right invairant Finsler metric on $SU(n)$ which are parallel to a linear affine distribution

I am looking for an equation analogous to the Euler-Poincare equations for a right invariant Finlser metric except I want the geodesics which are parallel to a linear affine distribution on $SU(n)$. ...

What's the relation between fusion and coproduct?

For an irreducible finite depth finite index subfactor $(N \subset M)$, there is a structure of fusion category given by the even part of its principal graph. The simple objects $(X_i)_{i \in I}$ of ...

$I$ is principal if and only if $ID_M$ is principal for all $M \in Max(D)$

In a semmi-quasi local domain $D$ ( i.e. $D$ has finitely many maximal ideals), an ideal $I$ is principal if and only if $ID_M$ is principal for all $M \in Max(D)$. [See Comm. Rings by Kaplansky, ...
