### A question on involutions on the Lie algebra of vector fields

Edite According to the essential comment of Ian Agol I revise the question as follows For a smooth manifold $M$, is there a non identity involution $\theta$ on the lie algebra $\chi^{\infty}(M)$ ...

### Is the Manickam-Miklós-Singhi Conjecture solved?

This arXiv paper is claimed to contain a proof for the MMS conjecture. But it seems that this manuscript is not yet peer reviewed by other mathematicians. I personally tried to follow the paper, but ...

### Differential equations [closed]

For k > 0,x = x(t),y = y(t) Solve this system: \begin{array}{l} x\frac{{{d^2}x}}{{d{t^2}}} = k\frac{{dy}}{{dt}}\\ x\frac{{{d^2}y}}{{d{t^2}}} = - k\frac{{dx}}{{dt}} \end{array}

### p-adic etale cohomology

Let $X$ be a smooth projective scheme over $\mathbb{Z}_p$, with special fiber $X_s$ over $\mathbb{F}_p$, generic fiber $X_{\eta}$ over $\mathbb{Q}_p$, and geometric generic fiber $\bar{X_{\eta}}$ over ...

### Characterization of pseudo split epimorphisms in Cat

Is there an easy way to characterize pseudo split epimorphisms in Cat? Obs: A pseudo split epimorphism in Cat is a functor $F: E\to B$ such that there is a functor $M: B\to E$ and a natural ...

### Order statistics of Brownian motions

I've been struggling with proving a conjecture concerning order statistics of Brownian motions for a while. The conjecture I'm looking to prove is the following: (I have run Monte Carlo simulations ...

### Can we define an “empirically generic” real number?

Summary: My question, in a nutshell, is how we should intuitively imagine a generic real number (as opposed to a random one), and whether we can construct numbers which empirically behave like generic ...

### Adams Operations on $K$-theory and $R(G)$

One of the slickest things to happen to topology was the proof of the Hopf invariant one using Adams operations in $K$-theory. The general idea is that the ring $K(X)$ admits operations $\psi^k$ that ...

### Invexity of the $L_2$ norm

I have the following function: $f({\bf A,b}) = \| {\bf y - XAb} \|_2^2$ where ${\bf y}_{n \times 1}$ and ${\bf X}_{n \times p}$ are fixed, and ${\bf A}_{p \times r}$ and ${\bf b}_{r,1}$ are the ...

### Topological relationships between family of transversal intersections of manifolds

Let $M$ and $N$ be submanifolds of $\mathbb{R}^n$ and let $a(t)$ be a smooth path in $\mathbb{R}^n$ such that $M+a(t)$ intersects $N$ transversally for all $t \in [0,1]$. Is there a nice relationship ...
