### Pseudodifferential operators on compact manifolds with boundary

I have heard that the square root of the Dirichlet (or the Neumann) Laplacian is not a pseudodifferential operator on compact manifolds with boundary. The context in which this was said was that ...

### A question about Asaaf Naor's review in Bourbaki about the Batson-Spielman-Srivastava result

I am referring to this article - http://www.cims.nyu.edu/~naor/homepage%20files/Exp.1033.pdf If I understand right, the author states that his equations (8) and (9) are equivalent to the equations ...

### Curvatures preserved under the Kahler-Ricci flow

Maybe it is a trivial question. Is there any obvious reason that non-negative holomorphic bisectional curvature is preserved by (normalized) Kahler-Ricci flow, but non-negative Ricci curvature is not ...

### Some questions on analytic vectors and the integrability of Lie-algebra representations

I would like to ask a number of questions about the theory of analytic vectors and the integrability of Lie-algebra representations, but before I do so, let me fix the terminology to be used in this ...

### Is there an $L$ like inner model for $\sf Z$?

Godel proved the consistency of the axiom of choice with the axioms of $\sf ZF$ by showing that given any model of $\sf ZF$, there is a definable class which satisfies $\sf ZFC$. The proof uses a lot ...

### Who first noticed that Stirling numbers of the second kind count partitions?

When the Stirling numbers of the second kind were introduced by James Stirling in 1730, it was not combinatorially; rather, the numbers ${n \brace k}$ were defined via the polynomial identity  x^n = ...

### The number of blocks in Szemerédi Regularity Lemma

In mathematics, the Szemerédi regularity lemma states that every large enough graph can be divided into subsets of about the same size so that the edges between different subsets behave almost ...

### Resolving nodes of a quintic CY 3-fold

Let's consider the following quintic 3-fold $X$: $$\{(x_i) \in \mathbb{P}^4 \ | \ x_1f(x)-x_2g(x)=0\}$$ for generic homogeneous polynomials $f(x),g(x)$ of degree four. It ...

### Understanding Prof. Keevash's proof on the “Existence of Designs” [on hold]

I have tried to read Prof. Kevvash's paper on the "Existence of designs". I am finding it very tough to read it linearly. I am comfortable with the nibble ideas and probabilistic methods in general. ...

### the eigenvalues of a generalized circulant matrix

A $2k\times 2k$ circulant matrix $\ C$ takes the form \begin{align} C= \begin{bmatrix} c_0 & c_{2k-1} & \dots & c_{2} & c_{1} \\ c_{1} & c_0 & c_{2k-1} & & c_{2} ...

### Behavior of elementary symmetric polynomials near zero sets

It is straightforward to show (see Characterizing intersection of zero sets of elementary symmetric polynomials on R^n) that the set of points $\Lambda_{k}$ in $x \in \mathbb{R}^{n}$ with ...

### Polynomial recurrence relation covering the integers (and then Gaussian integers)

Say that a polynomial recurrence relation (my terminology) for $f_i$ is: $k$ initial conditions setting $f_1,\ldots,f_k$ to integers ($\in \mathbb{Z})$. A recurrence equation of the form $f_i =$ a ...

### Number of orbits of $\mathrm{SL}_2(\mathcal O_A)$ on $\mathbf P^1(A)$ when $A$ is a quaternion algebra

This is a reference request. Let $A$ be an anisotropic quaternion algebra over $\mathbf Q$. Let $\mathcal O_A$ be a maximal order in $A$. Then $\mathrm{SL}_2(A)$ acts transitively on the right on ...

### What is the state of art MIQP solver

I used Gurobi with a MIQP with 26 binary variables and 26*4 interaction term without any other constraint. The speed is very slow already.... I want to ask what is the state of art of MIQP solvers. ...

### Intersection points of closed curves inscribed in a convex polygon

Suppose that I have two distinct simple closed curves, $C_1$ & $C_2$, and each is inscribed in a convex polygon, D. By inscribed, I mean tangent to each side of D. In particular, I am most ...
