### Which algorithm is most efficient for a specific QP problem

I have a QP problem of the following kind: $\min_{\alpha\in\mathbb{R}^n}\frac{1}{2}\alpha^T M \alpha - p^T\alpha$ s.t. $l\leq \alpha \leq u$ The matrix $M$ is symmetric and positive definite and of ...

### Does there exist an Affinization or Projectivization process for Varieties?

Let us consider the classical isomorphism of real manifolds between $S^2$ and ${\mathbb CP}^1$. First strange thing we have here is that both are varieties, but $S^2$ is an affine and ${\mathbb CP}^1$ ...

### Find a subset such that its sum is divided by n

It is said that the following proposition is true. $\forall S \subset \mathbb{Z}, |S| = 2n-1.\ \exists A \subset S, |A| = n$ which satisfies $$n \ | \ \sum_{a \in A}a.$$ Could someone gives a ...

### Why do we study symplectic geometry?

What is the motivation behind studying smooth manifolds with non-degenerate closed two-forms? I am trying to learn the subject and find it hard to find motivation. Is there a reason that ...

### Which varieties are flat degenerations of projective space?

Let $V$ be a vector space over a field with discrete valuation and let $R$ be its ring of integers. Which varieties can be reached as the special fiber of a flat degeneration over $R$, when the ...

### Good estimates on the truncation of the exponential series. [on hold]

What are the good (analytic) upper bounds we have on the series $\sum_{k=D}^\infty \frac{a^k}{k!}$ in terms of $a$ and $D$?

### Monodromy theorem of degeneration of smooth projective varieties to non-reduced central fiber

Given a family $\pi: \mathcal{X}\rightarrow\Delta$ smooth away from $0\in\Delta$, Where $\mathcal{X}$ is a smooth complex manifold, $\Delta$ is a small disk, the general fiber of $\pi$ is smooth ...

### Probability that one normal (uncorrelated) variable is greater than another if the latter is positive [on hold]

Assume that $X\sim N(0,\sigma_x^2)$, $Y\sim N(0,\sigma_y^2)$ and $X$ and $Y$ are uncorrelated. Can we solve analytically for $\mathbb P(X>Y |Y>0)$?

### Invertibility of all left multiplication maps in non-unital rings

Suppose that $R$ is a ring, not necessarily commutative nor associative. Assume that for every non-zero $a \in R$, the left multiplication map $$\lambda_a \colon R \to R \colon x \mapsto ax$$ is ...

### Non-regular languages fulfilling the Pumping Lemma

Some non-regular languages don't yield to the Pumping Lemma ($L_1=a^nb^mc^m$ should work). But now consider the set of non-regular languages L only over the alphabet {a}. (Like $L_2=a^{n^2}$ or ...

### References for Yang-Mills Theory

We are looking to run a working seminar about the Yang-Mills story. We hope that our seminars is of interest to analysts (working with curvatures and Ricci flows on Riemannian manifolds), the ...
