### Is an elliptic curve that is isomorphic to its Frobenius conjugate defined over $\mathbb{F}_p$?

Let $p$ be prime and $q = p^n$. Let $E$ be an elliptic curve over $\mathbb{F}_q$, and let $E^{(p)}$ be the pullback of $E$ by the $p$-power Frobenius of $\mathbb{F}_q$. If $E$ is isomorphic (over ...

### Construct a sequence of i.i.d random variables with a given distribution function, diagonalization?

Assume we have a sequence of i.i.d. random variables $X_1, X_2, \dots,$ on a probability space $(\Omega, \mathcal{F}, P)$ with$$P(X_n = 1) = P(X_n = -1) = {1\over2}.$$Given a distribution function ...

### Where does the algebraic closure enter into Block's Theorem?

When applying Block's Theorem on the structure of differentiably simple rings to Lie algebras most authors require an algebraically closed field, but I can see no reference to algebraic closure in ...

### Stopping time sigma-fields

Let $(F_n)$ be a discrete Filtration and $S_n,S$ (not necessarily finite) stopping times with $S_n\uparrow S$ (increasing convergence). Is it true that the associated sigma-fields satisfy ...

### Constrained absolute orientation of 3D point sets

Let us assume we have two 3D point sets, $P=\{p_i\}$ and $Q=\{q_i\}$, and that we need to recover the transformation that takes $P$ as close to $Q$ as possible. In particular, I am interested in ...

### Examples when one can use the the symmetric power $L$-functions to study topics related to the number theory

"The symmetric power $L$-functions are a powerful tool for studying algebraic or geometric objects through analytic methods." I read this sentence in the introduction of a Master thesis. I want to ...

### $\pi_1$ of the moduli of G-bundles on elliptic curves and the double affine braid group

For a simple Lie algebra $\mathfrak{g}$ over $\mathbb{C}$, the fundamental group of $\mathfrak{h}_\text{reg}/W$ (where $\mathfrak{h}$ is the Cartan subalgebra, $\mathfrak{h}_\text{reg}$ is the subset ...

### space of stability condition for an elliptic curve

Let $E$ be an elliptic curve. I want to understand why $\mathrm{Stab}(E)/\mathrm{Aut}(D^b(E))$ is a $\mathbb{C}^\times$-bundle over the moduli space $\mathbb{H}/\mathrm{SL}(2,\mathbb{Z})$ of elliptic ...

### Average digit sum in different bases

Given two natural numbers $n\geq 1$ and $b\geq 2$, denote by $S_b(n)$ the sum of the digit of $n$ in its representation in base $b$. Clearly $S_b(n)$ varies from 1 (when $n$ is a power of $b$) to ...

### Is this notion of 'closed subset' of a semigroup action something people have thought of?

Suppose $S$ is a semigroup (or a monoid, or a category), and $X$ is an $S$-set -- that is, a set with an action of $S$. Say that a sub-$S$-set $Y$ is "downward closed" (or maybe "well-generated") if ...

### Are free positive operators equivalent to almost-commuting operators?

Set $A:=C_0((0,1]) * C((0,1])$ (the free product C*-algebra), with canonical generators $a,b$ (positive contractions). Does there exists some $\gamma>0$ such that, for any $x,y \in A$ if $x^*x=a$ ...
