### Order statistics of iid uniform RV and Pólya's urn model. Question about a.s. convergence

Let $U_1,U_2,U_3,\dots$ be IID uniform on $[0,1]$. For each $n\geq 1$ let $$U_{1:n}<U_{2:n}<\dots<U_{n:n}$$ be the order statistic of $(U_1,\dots,U_n)$. Independent of the $U$ process there ...

### Hyperplane generic to a given arrangement

At the moment, I am reading the paper "on the connectivity of the realization spaces of line arrangements" of Nazir and Yoshinaga. I would like to extend their Lemma 3.2 to higher dimension. However, ...

### A follow up question to: Number of walks on integer lattice with self-edge at zero

Let $a(n)$ be the number of lattice paths in ${\mathbb{Z}^2}$ of length $n$ which start at the origin $(0,0)$ and have only up-steps $U:(i,j) \to (i + 1,j + 1)$, down-steps $D:(i,j) \to (i + 1,j - 1)$...

### approximating smooth simplicial sheaves by manifolds?

Bit of background Let $C$ denote the category with objects given by $\mathbb{R}^n$, $n\in \mathbb{N}$ and morphisms given by smooth maps $f:\mathbb{R}^n\to \mathbb{R}^m$. Then we can form the ...

### Negative-curvature behaviour of higher-rank symmetric spaces

Let $X$ be a symmetric space of noncompact type with $rk\ X\geq 2$ and let $G$ be the identity component of the isometry group. Pick points $p\in X$ and $\xi\in\partial_{\infty}X$, with $\xi$ regular, ...

### Collatz-like properties of finite fields

I was wondering what an equivalent of the Collatz conjecture might be for finite fields. In a Collatz sequence a number is moved down within a set $\{2^k n : k \in \mathbb{Z}^* \}$ for some odd $n$ or ...

### An ideal and its annihilator

Let $I$ be an arbitrary ideal of commutative ring $R$ with identity. If $ann (I)=AB$, where $A$ and $B$ are comaximal, how can we fine two ideal $I_1$ and $I_2$ with $I=I_1+I_2$ such that $I_1$ ...

### Bounds on Matrix Exponential

Suppose $A$ and $B$ are (non-commuting) hermitian $n\times n$ matrices and $k$ is a large positive number. Suppose we write the product of matrix exponentials as $e^{kA + B} e^{-kA} = e^{C(k)}$ for ...

### Euclid vs Eratosthenes

Very little is known about Euclid's life--much less than about other famous ancient Greek mathematicians, which is puzzling. It is also strange to me that Euclid didn't write about the Eratosthenes ...
### Has a continuous map from $\kappa^\omega$ to $[0,1]^\omega$ a non-scattered fiber?
Question. Let $\kappa>\mathfrak c$ be a cardinal endowed with the discrete topology and $f:\kappa^\omega\to[0,1]^\omega$ be a continuous map. Is there a point $y\in[0,1]^\omega$ whose preimage \$f^{-...
