### Has this formula for $G_{k}:=\lim\inf_{n\to\infty}p_{n+k}-p_{n}$ been conjectured?

I give here a heuristics that suggests that the quantity $\displaystyle{G_{k}:=\liminf_{n\to\infty}p_{n+k}-p_{n}}$ should be approximately equal to $k(1+H_{k})$, where $H_{k}$ is the $k$-th harmonic ...

### Approximating the norm of an operator-valued linear function with operator inputs via a matrix-valued linear function

Let $\mathcal{H}$ and $\mathcal{K}$ be infinite-dimensional Hilbert spaces. Let $B_1, \ldots, B_k \in B(\mathcal{H}).$ Define $L: B(\mathcal{K})^k \rightarrow B(\mathcal{H}\otimes \mathcal{K})$ via ...

### For what real $t$ is $\{n^t : n \geq 1\}$ linearly independent over $\mathbb{Q}$?

It's straightforward that $t$ must be irrational. I have googled many variations of this question and browsed through some books on transcendental number theory. There is much that is said about when ...

### Permutation-invariant matrix representation

The question guide says that Mathoverflow is for research level mathematics. While I do not perform research in mathematics (I study quantum chemistry), I believe this question is research-level ...

### Complexity :: Integer Programming :: Non-Poly Example [on hold]

When learning about computational complexity I find that when discussing the NP-Complete problems authors always give examples of such problems that can in fact be solved in poly time. I understand ...

### Can states on commutative Banach algebras be understood as probability measures?

Suppose $\mathcal{A}$ is a commutative Banach algebra (over $\mathbb{R}$) or commutative Banach *-algebra (over $\mathbb{C}$). Is there always a measurable space $(\Omega,\mathcal{F})$ such that there ...

### When a homeomorphism is a diffeomorphism w.r.t to a suitable smooth structure?

Assume we have a homeomoprhism $\phi:M\rightarrow M$, where $M$ is a topological manifold which admits at least one smooth structure. Is it always possible to construct a smooth structure on $M$ ...

### Will (general points + small number of arbitrary points) impose independent condtions on plane curves?

It is well known that imposing vanishing at general points of $\mathbb P^2$ gives independent conditions on curves of degree $d$. Also, it is known that a small number ($\le d+1$) points always impose ...

### Singularities of the moduli stack of polarized hyperkahler varieties

Inspired by the recent question on singularities of the moduli stack of Calabi-Yau threefolds (Singularities of the moduli stack of Calabi-Yau threefolds) I'd like to ask the following question. Is ...

### Can we find structure constants of Lie Algebra for Lie Symmetry of ODE without solving determining equations?

Let's consider (for example) one scalar ODE. We are searching for Lie Symmetries of it. There is well-known result, that we can find size of Symmetry Group without solving determining equations. ...
