### Why is it so hard to prove Toeplitz' conjecture?

I'm a layman in mathematics, so please excuse me in advance for anything in this question that may be inappropriate :D. Well: Four years ago, I was reading (and working to solve the puzzles on) ...

### Product of a Schubert polynomial and a double Schubert polynomial

Let $S_u(x)$ be a Schubert polynomial and let $S_v(x;y)$ be a double Schubert polynomial. Then their product can be expressed in terms of the double Schubert polynomials as ...

### Modularity in a graph - definition of the random component

This question concerns the definition of modularity in a graph. Consider a simple, undirected, unweighted graph $G$ with vertices in set $V$ and edges in set $E$ . Between any two vertices there is ...

### When does composing polynomials reduce the degree?

Let $\mathbb{F}$ be the field of size 2. Say I have polynomials $p_1,\ldots,p_m : \mathbb{F}^n \to \mathbb{F}$ with high degree $\approx n$, and another polynomial $s : \mathbb{F}^m \to \mathbb{F}$ ...

### Symmetries of non-Riemannian curvature tensor

The curvature tensor, $R_{ab}{}^c{}_d$, can be obtained from a connection which not necessarily is a metric connection. By construction it is antisymmetric in the first two indices, since roughly ...

### Schatten $p-$norm of integral operators

Suppose $\Omega$ is a domain in $\mathbb R^2$. Let $k\in L^2(\Omega\times\Omega)$ and define $Tf(x)=\displaystyle\int_\Omega f(y)k(x,y)dy$ acting on $L^2(\Omega)$. For the sake of argument suppose ...

### Number of samples needed as input to Bernoulli factory

Let $\{X_i\}$ denote an i.i.d. sequence of Bernoulli variables with parameter $p$. A Bernoulli factory is a procedure that generates events with probability $f(p)$ using the observations $\{X_i\}$, ...

### History of unstable formulas [on hold]

There are many equivalent definitions for stability, one of them being that being unstable is equivalent to the existence of a formula having the order property. While intuitively it makes sense that ...

### Bounded input Bounded output stability for heat equation

This is a cross-post from Computational Science. I am interested in proving or obtaining a counterexample to the following conjecture. Let $\Omega\subset\mathbb{R}^d$ be a bounded open domain. Let ...

### Co-quasitriangular Hopf algebra - notation

In one article I found the following statement : If $A$ is a Hopf algebra over $k$ with co-quasitriangular structure $r$, then one can define map $r_{21}*r:A\otimes A\rightarrow k \ \$ (...). ...

### Connes Embedding Conjecture and Fusion Categories

I was recently introduced to Connes' Embedding Conjecture (CEC) which states: Every separable type $II_{1}$ factor is embeddable into $R^{\omega}$. Where $\omega$ is a generic free ultrafilter on ...

Details here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Global_cascades_model#Global_cascades_condition If I have a hierarchical structure, what is the required number of nodes / clusters of nodes required to ...
Consider an irreducible, aperiodic, time-reversible, discrete-time Markov chain on a finite state space $S$ whose Markov kernel is $K$ and unique stationary distribution is $\pi.$ Then, reversibility ...
