### Set of General Linear Position with Nonzero Measure

I came to the following question, but I don't have quite a good idea how to approach. Can a set $A\subset \mathbb{R}^n , n\ge 2$ with nonzero measure be in a general linear position? I believe ...

### For which primes $p$ is the field $\mathbb{Q}(\Gamma(1/p^{j}))$ a strict subfield of $\mathbb{Q}(\Gamma(1/p^{i}))$ whenever $0<i<j$?

I already asked this question on a French math forum but eventually came to think that as silly it may turn out to be, perhaps something interesting could finally emerge from it, so I decided to take ...

### Rationally connected spaces over non-algebraically-closed fields

The definition I most often see for what it means for a projective variety $X$ over a field $k$ to be rationally connected is that there exists a variety $M$ and a dominant morphism ...

### moving up a consequence of PFA

The Proper Forcing Axiom (PFA) implies that every forcing which adds a subset of $\omega_1$ either adds a real or collapses $\omega_2$. Is it consistent that every forcing which adds a subset of ...

I'm currently working on my PhD thesis. I have several suggested problems to work on, some of them are very similar to some problems that my advisor have worked before and published already, either in ...

### Checking Mertens and the like in less than linear time or less than $\sqrt{x}$ space

Say you want to check that $|\sum_{n\leq x} \mu(n)|\leq \sqrt{x}$ for all $x\leq X$. (I am actually interested in checking that $\sum_{n\leq x} \mu(n)/n|\leq c/\sqrt{x}$, where $c$ is a constant, and ...

### “Identity tensor transpose” as a map $M_n \hat{\otimes} M_n \to M_n \overline{\otimes} M_n$

Equipping $M_n$ with its usual operator space structure, $\newcommand{\ptp}{\widehat{\otimes}}$ we can form the projective tensor product of operator spaces $M_n\ptp M_n$. In particular this puts a ...

### Local “pathologies” in spaces arising naturally in algebraic topology

I have been thinking about methods for constructing continuous paths locally in a space. These paths have domain the unit interval and map into "small" neighborhoods of points in a space. Moreover ...

### Intuition for universal quotient maps

The universal quotient maps are precisely the descent morphisms in the category of topological spaces. In some papers of Janelidze, Tholen, Sobral, and Reiterman (see for instance Reiterman-Tholen), ...

### Function that gives 1 only when an integer is divisible by another integer [on hold]

I need a function that takes two inputs, a and b, and returns 1 only when a is divisible by b and 0 otherwise. Can this be written in a nice mathematical way (other than using indicator functions)?

### General Reference for surface singularities

Is there any "standard" reference for (rational) singularities on algebraic surfaces? I'm aware of Artin's papers and the one of Brieskorn (Rationale Singularitäten komplexer Flächen), but they seem ...

### How much of modern algebraic geometry is there in modern complex(algebraic, analytic, differential) geometry?

Good day to you, people of mathoverflow. I'll get to the point. I wonder how much of modern(abstract) algebraic geometry is there in modern complex geometry? What do I mean by complex geometry? ...

### Does Weil-Brezin transform provide Fourier basis in C^0 on Heisenberg manifold?

I know that $L^2$ functions of the Heisenberg nilmanifold are spanned by images of the Weil-Brezin transform. Is it true that they are also dense in C^0? Is there a reference for this?

### Zeroes of global sections killed by differential operators

I asked this question some two weeks ago on StackExchange, but received no feedback of any sort ... Let $X$ be a compact connected Riemann surface and let $\Phi:M\rightarrow N$ be an elliptic ...

### parametrizations for sections of time in a flow

Let $\phi:\mathbb{R}\times X\rightarrow X$ be a flow in $X$, where $(X,d)$ is a compact metric space. Denote by $\mathcal{H}$ the set of continuous maps $h:\mathbb{R}\rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ such that ...

### Nonexistence of generic objects over $L(\mathbb{R})$

A well known result (stated and credited to Todorcevic in "Semiselective Coideals", by Farah, Mathematika, 1997, but with antecedents going back to Mathias) says that, under the appropriate large ...

### intuitive connection between The KdV equations and the Virasoro bott group

I posted this on stack exchange but had no joy, perhaps someone here can answer : The Euler Arnold equation expresses equations (usually from mathematical physics) as geodesic equations on a Lie ...

### Probability theory without deductive closure

Human knowledge is not deductively closed. Uncertainty can arise from that just as much as from lack of brute facts. (When a Harvard graduate was reported to have thought that the earth is farther ...

### Boolean Algebra - Find X [closed]

I am new to Boolean algebra. I do understand the basic rules but this is the first time I solve this kind of question. If possible, could you please prove me as many methods as possible. Thanks in ...

### Rank diagrams of permutations $w \in S_{m}$ in the study of complete flag varieties [on hold]

I'm looking for some good references that may either prove or help to prove the following statement: Show that a matrix $r=(r_{pq})_{1 \leq p,q \leq m}$ defines a rank diagram for some pair of ...

### Efficient CW structures on squarefree semi-algebraic set

General Setup Given a collection of $k$ polynomials (with real coefficients) in $n$ real variables, say $f_i(x_1,\ldots,x_n)$, let $V \subset \mathbb{R}^n$ correspond to those $x$-values for which ...

### Weighted Average [closed]

I have 35 tons of liquid with a 21% rubber content. I need to make a total of 75 tons with a 20% rubber content. What percentage rubber should I add the the additional 45 tons of liquid? And what is ...

### What is $s$, $s\in\mathbb{N}^+$ such that $\rho(A^s)$ will be minimum? [closed]

Let $A$ be a n by n matrix and $\rho$ be the spectral radius of a matrix. What is $s$, $s\in\mathbb{N}^+$ such that $\rho(A^s)$ will be minimum? thank you.
Let $(X,\omega)$ be a compact symplectic manifold. If $J$ is a $\omega$-compatible complex structure on $X$ then $(X,\omega,J)$ is a compact Kähler manifold and so has Hodge numbers $h^{p,q}$. My ...
