### Reference for analyticity of $K$-theory

This is a follow-up to my last question, Homotopy excision for structured ring spectra -- reference?. The immediate reason why I care about Blakers-Massey theorems for ring spectra is to prove that ...

### Carlsson's spectrum BG^-V

In the appendix to Carlsson's "Equivariant stable homotopy and Segal's Burnside ring conjecture," he introduces a spectrum BG^-V associated to a G-representation V. It is like a Thom spectrum of the ...

### Albanese map on a universal jacobian associated to a curve on an abelian surface

Given an abelian surface $A$ and a curve $C$ on it, consider the component $\{C\}$ of the Hilbert scheme of curves with the same cohomology class of $C$. I would say that it has a fibration structure ...

### Error in trace of operator

Imagine you have a Schroedinger operator $H:=-\frac{d^2}{dx^2}+V$ with $V \in C[a,b]$ on some compact interval $[a,b]$. The boundary conditions are supposed to be taken in such a way that this ...

### What do rank-2 tensor entries represent? What's their geometrical meaning? [on hold]

given a vector (with, say, 3 dimensions), if I multiply that with a second-rank tensor, I can make it change in both direction and magnitude (for that 2nd rank tensors are involved in vector-vector ...

### Cohomology group vs sheaf of cohomology group

Suppose $F$ is a coherent sheaf on a smooth (algebraic or complex) variety $X$. Then we can consider the cohomology groups $$H^p(X,F)$$ for all $i$. Now, let we consider the sheaf ...

### Singularities of secant varieties of rational normal curves

Let $C\subset\mathbb{P}^n$ be a rational normal curve of degree $n$, and let $Sec_k(C)\subset\mathbb{P}^n$ be its $k$-th secant variety. By Theorem 1.1 in this paper: ...

### Linear map with two “incompatible” representations

Let $K$ be a field and let $V$ be the set of sequences $\{v_1,v_2,\dots\}$ of elements of $K$. If $A=\{a_1,a_2,\dots\}$ is also a sequence of elements of $K$, then it defines an endomorphism of $V$ ...

### Is there some lattice not rigid

I heard that in complex hyperbolic space setting for example CH2, there is some deformation of lattice nontrivial. What confused me is it seems contradicting Mostow Rigidity. Could someone explain ...

### Homotopy excision for structured ring spectra — reference?

I'm looking for a reference for analogues of the Blakers-Massey triad connectivity theorem (and its higher-order generalization) for ring spectra. That is: Suppose that $A\to A_1$ is a ...

### Which valuations of a field yield codimension $1$ subschemes of their 'models'

For a field $F$ (for example, a one generated by a finite number of its elements) there is a directed set of its 'models' (in this case those are 'arithmetic' schemes whose fraction field is $F$). It ...

### On two notions of 'generators' for a 'large' triangulated category

Let $C$ be a triangulated category that is closed with respect to arbitrary small coproducts; let $D$ be some class of objects of $C$. Then it would be natural to say that $D$ generates $C$ either if ...

### Interior gradient estimate for uniformly elliptic equations

I am struggling with a problem like this: In dimension $n\geq 3$, For the following uniformly elliptic equation, do we have interior gradient estimates? $$a^{ij}(x)u_{ij}(x)+u_{nn}=0.$$, where ...

### The (un)decidability of Robinson-Arithmetic-without-Multiplication?

I asked this over at math.stackexchange, and though a number of people were interested enough to vote up the question, I didn't get an answer -- which makes me wonder whether it isn't quite so ...

### Vanishing patterns of minors of matrix

Let $M$ be a $m\times n$ matrix with entries in, say $\mathbb{C}$; assume $n\leq m$. Denote by $I\subseteq\{1,2,\ldots, n\}$ a subset of the columns of M. I am interested in positive results to the ...

### A strengthening of base 2 Fermat pseudoprime

If $n$ is a prime then for all $k$ with $1 \le k \le [n/2]$, $k$ divides ${n-1 \choose 2k-1}$ because of the identity ${n-1 \choose 2k-1} \frac{n}{k}=2{n \choose 2k}$. My question is whether an ...
