### Fredholm operators in $K$-theory?

Do Fredholm operators show up in K-theory? Why or why not? The idea of infinite Grassmannians classifying vector bundles is pretty straightforward, but why would adding in additive inverses and what ...

### Hausdorff spaces with lattice isomorphism between the topologies

For $i=1,2$ let $(X_i,\tau_i)$ be Hausdorff spaces such that the lattices $\tau_1, \tau_2$ are isomorphic. Does this imply that $(X_1, \tau_1) \cong (X_2,\tau_2)$? (This is a follow-up question to ...

### Generating function of alternating even terms in the Vandermonde Convolution

I have $G(x) = \sum_{i = 0}^{\infty} \sum_{r = 0}^{\infty} (-1)^i \binom{k}{2i} \binom{n-k}{r} x^{2i} x^{r} = \frac{1}{2} \left( (1 + x{\iota})^{k} + (1 - x \iota)^{k} \right)(1 + x)^{n-k}$ where ...

### $T_2$-spaces such that the lattices of open sets can be embedded into each other

Let $(X,\tau), (Y,\sigma)$ be $T_2$-spaces such that there are injective lattice homomorphisms $f: \tau\to \sigma$ and $g:\sigma\to \tau$. Does this imply that $(X,\tau)\cong (Y,\sigma)$?

### Can the Laplace operator be represented as a sum of second order derivational operators

Assume that $M$ is a Riemannian manifold of dimension $n$. The natural Laplace operator associated to the metric is denoted by $\Delta$. Are there $n$ vector fields $X_{1},X_{2}, \ldots, X_{n}$ ...

### Can hypercompletion be an essential localization?

The subcategory of hypercomplete objects in an ∞-topos is a left-exact-reflective subcategory by the remarks after 6.5.2.8 of Higher topos theory. Can it ever happen that this subcategory is ...

### Solving over-determined system of polynomials

I am trying to solve the following over determined system of polynomials \begin{align} & p_1(x_1,x_2,\ldots,x_n)=0, \\ & p_2(x_1,x_2,\ldots,x_n)=0, \\ & \vdots \\ & p_m(x_1,x_2, ...

### A Collatz-like question about permutations

An answer to this question would provide an explicit counterexample to this question, but otherwise I don't know if it is interesting. Consider all permutations $\pi$ on the natural numbers such that ...

### Are limits decidable? Should definitions be decidable?

This question is about the Turing computability of the $\epsilon-N$ definition of a limit of an infinite sequence $S$. First, a proposition: There cannot exist a Turing Machine $M$ which, given a ...

### Brownian motion, exists $c < \infty$?

Suppose $B_t$ is a standard Brownian motion. Does there exist $c < \infty$ such that with probability one$$\limsup_{t \to \infty} {{B_t}\over{\sqrt{t \log t}}} \le c?$$I need to know whether or not ...

### Symplectic geometry and stability of orbits

I am looking for a theorem (read it once, but forgot about it and would now like to find a reference with proof): In symplectic geometry (at least for some particular subset of $\mathbb{R}^2$), there ...

### Clifford semigroups!

I am trying to prove that if a maximal group image G(S) of a Clifford semigroup S, is abelian-by-finite does the Clifford semigroup S is abelian-by- finte? I am assuming that S is an E-unitary ...
Let $K$ be some number field, $\mathcal O_K$ denote its ring of integers, and let $n$ be a positive integer. Take $\alpha \in \mathcal O_K$, and consider the quantity $r_{n,K}(\alpha)$, which denotes ...
