Silver's unpublished work on reverse Easton iteration

Silver was the first person who used the method of reverse Easton iterations in connection with large cardinals, and used it to force the failure of $GCH$ at some measurable cardinal. At most papers ...

Proof for a Rank-One Decrease procedure

I came across this result in a paper in my area concerning rank-one decompositions. However, I am unable to understand one of the steps. I am reproducing the result here. Let $X$ be a $N\times N$ ...

$L^2$ discrepancy bound for sequences in $[0,1)$

Given a sequence $x_1,x_2,\dots$, let $D_n$ be the $L^2$-norm of the function $f_n$ whose value at $t \in [0,1)$ is $nt$ minus the number of $1 \leq i \leq n$ with $x_i \leq t$. What can be said ...

Are the integer index finite depth irreducible subfactors Kac-coideal?

Is it known whether or not the integer index finite depth irreducible subfactors (planar algebra) are Kac-coideal subfactors: $(R^{\mathbb{A}} \subset R^{\mathbb{I}})$, with $\mathbb{A}$ a finite ...

Ore's Conjecture for perfect groups

We know that Ore's Conjecture is a theorem now. Does anyone know a counterexample to Ore's conjecture for perfect groups? I believe there should be one, but I dont have a counterexample. Thanks.

The trivility of Besov space for large parameter

For all $s>0$, $1\le p<+\infty$ and $u\in L^p(\mathrm{d}x)$, we define $$D_{s,p}(u)=\sup_{r>0}\frac{1}{r^{sp+n}}\int_{\mathbb{R}^n}\int_{B(x,r)}|u(y)-u(x)|^p\mathrm{d}y\mathrm{d}x$$ and ...

Formula for Value of Games Without Saddle Points [on hold]

I've read that the value of a game with payoff matrix [ a b ] [ c d ] that has no saddle points is (ad − bc)/(a + d − b − c). Does anyone know what the general ...

Bounds for Betti numbers

Why the graded Betti numbers of ideal $I \subset k[x_1 , \cdots , x_n]$, are bounded by the graded Betti numbers of $\mathrm{gin}(I)$? (Where $\mathrm{gin}(I)$, is the generic initial ideal of $I$ ...

Geometric meaning of the black hole horizon

It is widely accepted that the singularity of the Schwarzschild metric at the event horizon is purely an artifact of the coordinates and no physical singularity exists at the horizon. However, as ...

Appropriately choosing the parameter so that one function maximizes while other minimizes

Suppose we have two functions $f$ and $g$ of some variables $x,y,z\in R$. Our goal is to appropriately choose the values of $x,y,z$ such that $f$ is maximized while $g$ is minimized. Here, I am not ...

numerical and functional mixed optimization problem $\max f - \min f +\int_{-1}^1 (f'(x)-x)^2dx$

Given a function $g(x)$ and its domain, we want to get another function $f(x)$ whose derivative is approximately $g(x)$, but so that $f(x)$ itself has small variation. For example, for ...

The topology of the classifying space of U(n)

In $\textit{Atiyah and Bott: The Yang-Mills equations over riemann surfaces}$, there is a sentence about the topology of BU(n) (i.e. the classifying space of U(n)): Here $K(\mathbb{Z},n)$ means the ...

Who know about Rumek proof [on hold]

Rumek has actually shown that the usual ZFC axioms for mathematics are in fact inconsistent. For example, ​Rumek has been able to prove from the ZFC axioms that both 2+2 = 4 and 2+2 = 5. ...

Aspheric functors and Grothendieck fibrations

Following Grothendieck, let us say that a category is aspheric if its nerve is weakly contractible and a functor $u : \mathcal{A} \to \mathcal{B}$ is aspheric if for every object $b$ in $\mathcal{B}$, ...
Are Anderson $T$-motives motives for the function field analogy?
this question is related to this one Geometry for Anderson's motives?, though the previous one doesn't answer exactly my question. Let $\mathbb{C}_{\infty}$ be the function field analog of ...
